I could be wrong, but I really think everyone is reading too much into it. They needed a banner to tease something so large that it could be considered the 8th Wonder Of The World so they found an old map of the world, slapped a question mark on Charlotte, and wrote a question across the map.

I don't know, if I have a person on staff to do this sort of thing, I would expect them to put a lot more brain power into their work. I do remember the Windseeker teaser, even though it was not themed to the Wright Brothers, it did invoke flight.

I wouldn't consider the Windseeker internet teaser banner thingy anything that required brain power. Dumbest "tease" ever.

Maybe he is talking about the Wright Brothers tease they did.

[coasterbruh]

Why did they choose this banner you ask; the eigth wonder of the world; Because it will be different than any other coaster and have elements never before seen until now!

Yea, no.

Please God tell me this is a joke.

The name could actually be on that map somewhere if you dare to look for it. Notice they did put a '?' over the location. Perhaps there is something to the black and gold color as well?

it covers up "ipedra"

It covers Charlotte.

He's Jarsh. He's reputable.

apparently so but still it'd be nice to know how so lol

Looks like coaster crew has posted a video update. Nothing we didn't already know, but it might help some people that don't often make it to the park get a better feel for what's going on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li2n03OwofY

I hope it's a joke.........it sounds like a joke, looks like a joke, so it's probably a joke. If he's serious that some freaky mentality he's got going on.

I too think the 8th wonder of the world banner tease is merely to suggest it's going to be something HUGE and that's all.......that's my opinion........

But surely they would NOT name this Leviathan! I know there are so many Goliath's around, but to name it the same thing?? No...No..No

I would not call that dumb. That is a poetic way of describing the wind says the South East Piedmont Community College Literature major.

Yes, it's a joke. It's lampooning all the people on Facebook that want the Season Pass parking back for the closer walk. The joke is the exaggerated and absurd premise, a staple of satire comedy. It also has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

The cat's out of the bag buddy, you can stop with the cryptic clues.


Look at that, I quoted multiple people, without making multiple posts. It is possible people.

And after being on this board for nearly 11 years, you'd think I wouldn't be surprised at people's need to take every detail literally, or try and break down clues where there are none, but nope, still surprised.

[Merthecat]

Wow! I leave for TWO DAYS and miss all this! Geez!

I saw the teaser banner last night when I was at the park, but did not get to log on until now.

The blueprints look cool to me, but I was sort of expecting something more...interesting...

Also, I think you guys are way over-analyzing this "8th Wonder Of The World" thing.

I think we have every reason to believe that this map and the 8th wonder of the world have everything to do with the name/theme


also I am almost 100% convinced the entrance will be moving outward, the coster will in some way interact with the entrance and the plantation house more than likely becomes some top of main gift shop.

Except that the Wright Brothers ended up having absolutely nothing at all to do with Windseeker, which is identical in name and theme to the ones at the other Cedar Fair parks.

Well, it's a map of the WORLD... so WORLD RECORD BREAKING!

[chknwing]

Lets face it, to be the tallest, biggest drop, fastest non launched coaster it only has to beat Steel Dragons specs of

Height: 318.3 ft
Drop: 306.8 ft
Speed: 95 mph

A 325 ft coaster should beat all those making it world record breaking.
