Top Thrill Dragster Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Dropped by Knotts today after my AP preview of Little Mermaid. Here are some photos of WIndseaker and different views of the ride from inside and outside of the park. From the entrance. From Camp Snoopy from the Exit of the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Of Spades Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Mr. Crane, Oh Mr. Crane, That's my name again, It's Mr. Crane I'm liking the look of this, it's a pretty vibrant and different color scheme they're going for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueFireCoaster Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Saw them moving stuff tonight with the crane and they're moving along pretty good, every 10 or so minutes they were moving various parts over Silver Bullet, and landing them near the Windseeker dock...from the ride lot, it looks like they have another yellow tower, then one more purple and green and the baby should be topped off as far as swing movement is concerned. I've seen the movement and swing mechanisms over on Western, but have yet to see the top section of the tower arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolliger&Mabillard Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 So far...Windseeker just looks like a gigantic pencil to me...Haven't even bothered walking to that side of the park to go check things out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmaster562 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 i wish i would have taken a picture, but windseekers car is already there sitting beside the tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Force! Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 They added the last couple pieces to Windseeker last night and only needs the UFO-type piece now. To say the least, the thing is huge when seen in person, and I'm sure photo's dont do justice for it's size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black sabbath Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Great to hear that its topped off minus the UFO thing, lets see just how quick this thing finally opens! Hopefully they will have everything figured out on this one so it opens with fewer delays than the other windseekers. I havent had a chance yet to see the tower, I cant wait to see what it looks like on the Knott's skyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 With it's color scheme and no topper piece, it looks like a big yellow pencil...even more so with the different color scheme up top...makes it look like an eraser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatdaddy Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Guess I'm headed back to Knott's tomorrow to see windseeker progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black sabbath Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I was in the area and drove by Knott's tonight and saw Windseeker, that thing is HUGE!! No pics can do it justice! (I took a crappy nightime photo on my iphone so forgive quality but this is it topped off.) Windseeker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angryemobeaver Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 That was a pretty funny video! I've always wondered, if someone from far away entered these types of contests, it's up to you to get to the park right? For instance, if I were to enter and win, I'd have to fly to LA and get to Knotts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 ^ Yes, that is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANJLOVER14 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 That's an awesome video, and I would totally enter if I was on YouTube, but oh well... I'd probably have trouble coming up with a good idea anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I think I'm going to try this. Sounds like fun!! So does anyone know what sorts of things they're looking for? I'm assuming something that shows why I'm a "daredevil" and a "windseeker" but with maybe a little humor added in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 ^Try jumping off a garge roof into one of those roofless inflatable bounce-houses... ...not sure if it makes for a great video, but I used to do this with some friends back in high school... Ah to be 17 again with the money I have now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
