Drove up to the park today and saw windseeker parked at the top, it definately is an eye catcher...

So, they can get it to spin, while it's on the ground.

and they can make the structure go up and down.

However, they can't get the carousel to do both of those things at the same time......


Update: windseeker is testing spinning while in the air, at night

Testing appears to be right on schedule. Looks very promising to have our Windseeker be the first to open on time.

^Windseeker looks so awesome in the Skyline with Intimidator running. Can't wait to see it for myself!

Wow that looks amazing. I love that it adds so much to the skyline but it doesn't take away from Intimidator. Can't wait to get up there sometime next month!!

Man you are lucky you got intimidator testing!!! Everytime I have gone up there its not been running :( I will likely go up there tomorrow, hopefully they will be at least testing windseeker in full, last week it was just going up and down when I was up there. I really want to get some video of it testing. They tested today... lights are on now... and its raining which is interesting to see on the webcam at night..
