From a traditional standpoint, Carowinds would never replace the Skytower with a Windseeker. It's been an icon of the park, heck even the state for over 30 years. However from a business standpoint, it would make sense to replace it with something that people actually want to ride. For the newbies to the park, it's a good way to see the park for the first time. But after the first time it's just a time waster to ride that when you could be taking laps on the Intimidator. In my opinion though, I'd hate to see the Skytower go.
"There is a Riddle that has all the clues Carowinds is using. Voiceless it cries,
Wingless it flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.
What is it?
Wind.
100% Windseeker, everybody."
That was a dude from the facebook fanpage. It's pretty obvious it's going to be a Windseeker. I agree it would look terrible in the field by Intimidator; what's going there is still going to make me lose sleep...
It would really look great by the Hurler or Thunder Road, but it would fit into the Cyclone/boardwalk area best, because after all, wasn't Kitty Hawk near the ocean?
