Windseeker

WindSeeker
WindSeeker is a 301 foot-tall tower swinger attraction at six Cedar Fair parks: Carowinds, Canada's Wonderland, Kings Island, Kings Dominion, Cedar Point, and Knott's Berry Farm. The ride opened at each of the six parks in a time between May 2011 to April 2012.

History
On Facebook pages in August 2010, details were leaked about Cedar Fair parks having new attractions opening in 2011. On August 24, 2010, Cedar Fair announced Carowinds, Canada's Wonderland, Kings Island, Kings Dominion, Cedar Point, and Knott's Berry Farm would be receiving WindSeeker, a 301 foot-tall tower swinger attraction. Construction of the WindSeekers at Canada's Wonderland, Cedar Point, and Kings Island began in late October-early November 2010. To install the attraction, several attractions were removed from the park. The WindSeeker at Knott's Berry Farm didn't begin construction until early January 2011, after an announcement saying the ride would be located in Fiesta Village area. The Kings Island WindSeeker was the first completed and was the first scheduled to open, on April 30, 2011, but due to bad weather, the attraction was delayed to open until June 21, 2011. The Canada's Wonderland WindSeeker was scheduled to open May 8, 2011, but due to testing problems, the ride opened two weeks later on May 24. Cedar Point's WindSeeker was supposed to open May 14, 2011, but due to problems, the ride's opening was delayed for a month. The Knott's Berry Farm WindSeeker is the most unique: it has a different color scheme than the others and a K is atop the WindSeeker tower. After three months of delays, Knott's Berry Farm opened their WindSeeker installation in Mid-August. On September 7 and 19, the ride stalled, leaving riders stuck in mid-air for nearly three hours. On August 24, 2011, Carowinds announced its installation of the attraction. On September 1, 2011, Kings Dominion announced their installment of the ride. Their construction on the ride started in November, after their parks closed for the season.

Ride features
While riders are circling the tower during their ride, popular tracks such as Hedwig's Theme from the widely popular Harry Potter book/film series. At Cedar Point and Kings Island, the sign glows and changes colors at night. The Knott's Berry Farm version reflects on Mexican culture, as of the red, yellow, and purple color scheme. The ride's sign has a Mexican theme and the tower nor the sign lights up at night.
