PHOTO: The tower for WindSeeker stands tall in Coney Mall.

While I have no doubt that this will be a fun ride, I am extremely glad that not all of the Cedar Fair parks have them (as of yet). Does it look fun? Yes. Will it be well received? Probably.

My only issue with this ride is the sheer size of it. I realize that there's not too many ways to make the ride look appealing given the size of the ride tower, but judging by the photos, it looks like another gigantic attraction placed in the middle of a concrete midway. I loved KI, and the park is themed far better than my home park (Valleyfair), but I feel that single rides that are simply added in the middle of baron wastelands of concrete and rides make the park look almost RCT-ish.

I realize that after the ride construction is finished they'll probably add some themeing, trees, landscaping, etc., but if these things aren't added, it could potentially look a bit out of place.

^ It's Cedar Fair so I don't think you could expect anything more than plopping rides where ever they can fit. Windseeker doesn't really have a theme, as far as I know... I guess you could look at it as a light house or something, but that might confuse people even more.

I like to look at the Windseekers as giant cigarettes.

^^Windseeker isn't plopped down in the middle of nowhere, it's in the Coney Mall area near Vortex, Action Theater, and the Racer. They've replaced most of the concrete in that area with new brick paths too. It's not going to have any theming, but of course once they're done building it they will add more greenery around the ride. I don't really know what you're talking about, it looks great to me along with the surrounding area.

Maybe it's just because it isn't finished. I stand corrected then; once they've finished it, I hope that it doesn't look how it currently does (sore thumb).

^Maybe since Cedar Fair doesn't meet your expectations, they should pay Six Flags to put in onboard audio and some lame fire effects. And then give it an original name such as Batman or Superman. I dont know. Just an idea
