Just checked the webcam. Absolutely massive progress on the vertical construction in one day! -

I'm tired so this is all over the place, but. Cedar Fair circa 2013 is who thought they sucked, not me. Having never ridden a Windseeker, how could I know? Others are saying the windseeker is not as thrilling as the star flyer, per their experience. Take that up with them. And of course I was disappointed we didn't have a windseeker installed years ago! But I'll still take the star flyer instead in 2017 with no complaints. Not even Mount Olympus had messed theirs up. That's a good sign for our maintenence dept. Easy breezy. You also can't claim the Windseeker wasn't a source -

Or fortunately, depending on your perspective. How awful would it have been if Cedar Fair had Windseekers installed in every park and they started having issues chain-wide at the same time? -

I know I am! But I'm really really hoping they'll stick this in the Wild Thing turnaround instead of on Enterprise's pad. Would make my inner RCT player very happy. -

If Mount Olympus's Manticore hasn't tipped over yet, then a star flyer at Valleyfair should have very little maintenance-related downtime. -

Cedar Fair learned its lesson with the Windseekers and their reliability. Star Flyers seem to be much more reliable and still provide good opportunity for light effects at night, although not on the scale of the Windseeker. I'm extremely satisfied with this addition. -

Any recent height variance applications floating around Shakopee/airport resources? -

Please don't get my hopes up. Too late. -

I imagine they'll go with a Sky Roller as opposed to a Delirium clone. Isn't a Sky Roller cheaper? -

I could see Enterprise possibly being put back in its spot after a year of rehab, just leaving the pad empty in the meantime. Would LOVE to see a Windseeker/Sky Roller/Slingshot or other tall flat put in the Wild Thing turnaround. That area has been begging for a cool flat ride for years. -

Well, I guess we're waiting for mid-August for confirmation at this point. -

I thought it looked more like Prowler than Renegade. POVs are on the announcement page in the Kings Island thread. -

Maybe Cedar Fair will send us Kings Island's flume. LOL.
