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.

it covers up "ipedra"

It covers Charlotte.

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.

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.
