I really don't agree, I think WindSeeker is a far better ride than Sky Screamer, not to mention I have seen Kids swing sets with heaver gauge chain break. Not sure I really feel "safe" on them. On top of that according the new Maintenance director Windseeker is here to stay with Cedar Fair.
I would just rather not see one in our park, whether it is used OR brand new. I'm tired of cookie cutter attractions, especially lame ones. I was hoping for a new, unique flat, or maybe even a new coaster (haha) for 2014. I dont know why but the windseeker rumor just really bugs me. On the bright side though there is also a rumor for a new addition to OOF.
You would rather have slow, cookie cutter go-karts than a slightly used flat ride? I can assure you that if they were planning something big for 2015, it will be there in 2015. This seemed more like a last minute deal to make sure that the ride they spent $5 million is in good use. I highly doubt that Cedar Fair is using this as an excuse to push their next ride back, especially since Knott's Windseeker "only" broke down 11 months ago. If anything it will move people and change our skyline for the better!
