New Ride For 2011 - Canada's Wonderland - WindSeeker - 301 ft
WindSeeker
"we will be 70 feet (21.3M) higher that our previous tallest rides Drop Tower and Behemoth"
Canada�s Wonderland takes excitement to new heights in 2011, with the addition of WindSeeker � a 30-storey swing ride.
Towering high above the Park, WindSeeker will ascend 301 feet (91.7M) and spread its metal arms, swinging riders at a 45-degree angle at speeds up to 50 kilometers per hour. WindSeeker will feature 32 two-person swings that will provide riders with a sensational feeling of weightlessness as their feet dangle at heights never experienced before at Wonderland.
�We are continuing to change the landscape at Canada�s Wonderland and with the addition of our new thrill machine WindSeeker, we will be 70 feet (21.3M) higher that our previous tallest rides Drop Tower and Behemoth�, said Raffi Kaprelyan, Vice President and General Manager of Canada�s Wonderland. �For riders that are looking for extreme height and intense thrills, this ride will be a must-do for 2011�.
WindSeeker will be the 68th ride at Canada�s Wonderland, giving the park one of the greatest selections of rides in North America. Construction will begin in the fall of 2010.

The next building I'm doing will be 54 floors up putting my crane cab at about 580-600 ft...
So this ride... No big deal...
I was gonna go this year ... I'll hold out until Windseeker
Spinning in circles for 3 minutes hundreds of feet in the air.....you know somebody is going to get puked on, and from that height, its going to be messy.....
we went on Saturday and saw a girl who shat her pants on drop zone. true story

that would suck!
bring it on!
it would be cool if the seats went above the ring and almost upside down. meh.
the height is great but i would rather they spent their money on a new coaster. spinning rides are kinda lame.

isnt this just a century swing on roids?
it would be cool if they had a ride like top gun that went around the park. but really its just an express service.
i just can imagine... something goes wrong it starts spinning at like 200 km an hour and one of them flies off. Now that be hell of a ride
