I read that Kings Island finally got the windseeker up and running and I figure CP did the same. Has anyone been on it at either place? To me it looks really lame and I find it hard to believe how much each park is marketing this ride. Just curious to see what everyone else thinks of this giant swing rides.

I haven't gone to Kings Island yet to ride it, but my niece did and said it was stupid.

Yeah, I guess it would have an awesome view of the park, but it is being labeled as a thrill ride, which I don't get.

I watched it at CP yesterday, but there's no fucking way I'm riding it. I don't like swing rides to begin with, the height just makes it worse. I'll stick to coasters (height doesn't bother me on those).

It's only been open for a week and a half at CP and the sign only gave it a 45 minute wait (those estimates are usually on the high side too). Basically Maverick was the only thing that had a wait over an hour.

I haven't gotten to ride it at CP yet as ts said its only been open for like 2 weeks and both times I've gone it'd been down. I'm looking forward to riding it though!
