Vonni Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I just saw on WOF's website that they are staying open until the first weekend of November this year, along with several other CF Parks. That's so exciting! I hope the crowds come out so they will continue to do this. They probably won't honestly. The only reason they're doing it is because Halloween is on a Friday so it doesn't really make sense not to be open the first weekend in November (the 1st and 2nd). I would think that if Halloween fell on a Monday (just as an example) they wouldn't be open. You are probably right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Here is a link for a nice Steelhawk update. As you can see unfortunately it is being painted. I was hoping it would keep the color scheme that it had at Knott's, so it would still look unique, but still a nice addition for WOF. http://www.midwestinfoguide.com/worlds/2014/02.15/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 ^Maybe giving it a different color scheme (along with a different name) will make people forget about the accident at Knotts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 ^^ That's a shame, I really like the colors on the Knott's one. Oh well, I can totally understand that they want it the same as the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykethekid Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 ^^ That's a shame, I really like the colors on the Knott's one. Oh well, I can totally understand that they want it the same as the others. I honestly must be the only one who didn't like the colors at knotts. It didn't seem right for a ride themed around flying in the air. I am very glad will be painted like the other windseekers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colors were perfect for Knott's as it fit well in the Fiesta Village area. Plus, it looked really good in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually fit in really really well in knotts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 ^ Yeah, I didn't really think of the theming when I wanted it to maintain its original color scheme. I wonder when vertical Construction is supposed to start? EDIT: Vertical Construction started today! http://www.midwestinfoguide.com/worlds/2014/02.24/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterTimmy Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 All The "kinks" for the Windseeker fleet have been fixed in 2013, I did not hear of any break downs that lasted for hours in 2013, Does anyone know when "Steelhawk" is planned to open?

arby Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 At the end of July, the Carowinds Windseeker stranded people for more than an hour. You are correct, though, that it wasn't 'hours'. Source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
