Looks like the water dummies have been added to the testing. Might have been in last night, but too dark to tell.

Is anyone else finding it abnormal that windseeker only stays up at the top of its pole for about 15-ish seconds? I'm not sure if it's being intentionally done that way or not. Because if this is really how they are going to run windseeker, it's gonna be a real line eater. :roll:

It's just the way that they are testing it. Most likely to make sure it gets as many ascending and descending tests as possible. Im pretty sure it is suppose to stay at the top for a minute before coming back down.

If I'm not mistaken, it's a 3 minute round trip. One minute on the way up, one minute at the top and one minute on the way down.

^That is correct. I assume it will go into full tests like that in the next week or so.

Anyone been noticing if Windseeker has been tested since the weekend? I don't think it has been.

Saw Windseeker go up. Looked like it was going to be a full ride cycle. Spun around at the top for a minute, then slowed down to a stop and stayed at the top. Wonder when they will start doing the full cycled tests.

So after being processed for my season pass today, all rides were in testing mode and I happened to glance over my shoulder to see windseeker in all her glory flying high in the clouds. OH SHE'S READY!!!

Looks like everything, along with Windseeker is getting tested this afternoon.

I'm pretty sure I just saw some people get off of windseeker, are you sure that employee rides haven't started yet? Or was that the inspector riding?

No one was allowed to ride this weekend. I don't know of any state officials that work on the weekend so the chances of Windseeker being inspected on a Sunday are slim to none. Keep an eye out for later this week. I hear the inspectors will be visiting by mid-week.
