chickenbowl Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Now that Windseeker is officially gone from the parks lineup, it means that Knott's hasn't added any type of thrilling ride since Silver Bullet (which will be 10 years soon). If I could guess, I'd say that after the Camp Snoopy and Calico revamp, they'll have to put in something thrilling, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJeXeL Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 WS piece spotted in AZ already. I'm happy I'll be able to ride it again @ WOF when I visit my family in Kansas City this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnottsBerryMountain Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Now that Windseeker is gone, hopefuly we can see at nice thrilling flat ride! Hopefully something not too intense maybe like a skyscramer lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanic Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Maybe they'll put a Mexican restaurant in WindSeeker's old spot. They could call it "Wind Breaker's" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someotherguyuser Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Is Windseeker KBF shortest lived attraction? There was another ride that was similar to SFMM's Thrill Shot that stood where the Haunted Shack was. That might've been the shortest-lived ride.

DJeXeL Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Vertigo. After 1 of the towers collapsed on the one at CP Cedar Fair ripped it out of KBF quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arby Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 How long should it take for this to assemble once it arrives at Worlds of Fun? Based on the timeline for Windseeker at Carowinds: 6-8 weeks for the construction and curing of the footing. When they got the cranes setup and started assembling it, the crews took about 3 weeks to get the tower up then another 2 weeks to assemble the rest. I think they spent about 30 days testing it here.

netdvn Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 If the park really does consider a new dark ride, I hear the old Kingdom of Dinosaurs building is still unused. If they can gut out the entire interior, another full sized dark ride can fit in that spot. No need to continue removing rides. Windseeker spot can fit something else. I hear the park had some murals/models sitting around that were removed when Silver Bullet was built. Maybe bring those back in a new sitting/relaxation area. - Or better yet.

invisibleinthedark Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 It might just be part of the Witch's curse at Knotts that all rides with the name "Wind" in it is destined to fail. It would be nice to see a flat ride there in its place. Or even just a garden, I'd be okay with that too since that area is soo cramped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYZ Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 They could take out the arcade on the first floor for more space for a dark ride. The arcade doesn't get many people in there anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jray21 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I'm excited to see what they end up doing to that area. There's a lot of great opportunities. I'd personally love to see a dark ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
