[phantomfan93]

^Danggit beat me to the punch.

[adamas]

haha.. Facebook is going to crash with the 20 coaster fans clicking refresh.

[gforce532]

It is 2:03, mabey they pulled the pug on the ride.

[adamas]

And we have a windseeker..

[FeelTheFORCE]

Exactly the same at the others. Why wait until 2 if it's no different?

Soooooooooo.....Stratosoar is just...a tease? Hmmm....kind of a let down since they already announced Knott's and CW's version hours earlier.

 

The ride: very cool

The announcement: not so much.

Ya, I am kind of curious what all this Stratasoar stuff was all about...perhaps to throw everyone off? Didn't work well if you ask me.

[gforce532]

Wow I did not see that comming. To be honest I was still expecting a GCI.

[MayTheGForceBeWithYou]

WOW! I was JUST saying how I was predicting it was a WindSeeker!

[Invertalon]

Or [stratosaur] was not for this year...

[PCW_Nut]

Or [stratosaur] was not for this year...

 

Perhaps...How long till the 2012 season?

 

I think all these Windseekers are great additions...sure it's not what all of us coaster enthusiasts might have wanted, but for the GP I am sure they will eat it up.

[MayTheGForceBeWithYou]

^^You're saying there's probably ANOTHER ride in the works?

[braztaz]

Gee, I was expecting it to be taller than the others...but it's the same exact thing.

[Joe_Spence]

I dig the location...maybe they're building up that part of the park for a future coaster...do we know if anything is getting removed for Windseeker?

[vekoma_fan]

whats the chance of three parks getting the same thing

[Pingu1651]

^^ Ocean Motion is getting removed.

 

Wow, CP's best kept secret EVER. I don't really mind the new ride, I'm sure it'll be fun and hopefully make some lines shorter. The only disappointing thing was that I knew what they were getting for at least a month before they announced it.

^^^ I would assume the swinging ship...unless it just gets moved somewhere else.

 

I wonder if CP is still going to get the rumored kiddie coaster?

[XanderLee]

At least it's not an Intamin?

[PCW_Nut]

^^You're saying there's probably ANOTHER ride in the works?

 

Not saying that...who knows what the whole Stratasoar stuff was about...but I am sure with a 4 park/5million dollar investment each that 2012 might be the year for a new coaster at the Point or somewhere else...but let's all just enjoy this for now as we've got plenty of time till 2012

[braztaz]

Of course there's another ride in the works. Planning takes years for major attractions.

[timberskara]

When I first heard the rumors of CP's Starflyer-esque ride, I made sure to ride the one on I-Drive here in Orlando. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed because it wasn't at all scary like I had hoped it would be. The seats were reinforced with steel bars across the back and bottom, so there was no give in the seat position. The only kinda cool thing was the "OMG there's such little restraint" feeling which, of course, is completely ruined with the overdone restraints on this model.

 

I can't decide if it will be a good addition to the park. My personal opinion is that most thrill seekers will be disappointed seconds into it because it's not going to live up to the terrifying ride some people are envisioning, and the crowd that would really enjoy it will be too freaked out by the height to give it a whirl.

[coastermoosh]

Wow I did not see that comming. To be honest I was still expecting a GCI.

 

You didn't see this coming? Even with the recent news of Funtime's lawsuit?

 

A blind man couldn've seen this coming, LOL!

[PCW_Nut]

The same as 4 getting the same I reckon
