It looks like the remaining seats are being installed now...

yep all installed and would guess that starting tomorrow they begin testing and certification.

Will probably make it for next weekend barring any unknown issues.

In case anyone was wondering, here's what WindSeeker's sign looks like. (Haven't seen any pics in the other threads so far, so I thought I'd post it here.)

Is the park closed today for a private event or something because it looks like there is people exiting Vortex on the webcam?

Sadly if it does open this weekend, I will not be able to make it to the park for the opening, I might be able to do Sunday however we will just have to wait and see.

Yes, today is a park buy-out....

^ If I recall correctly, P&G usually rents out the park the second day it's open. I could be wrong.

I have always wanted to go on a buyout day for a company, are the crowds usually significantly less or more?

Yes.

Terpy, who just HAD to (and it's true...some GE days are packed to the gills, some companies have so many non-riders that a packed park has short lines...)

P&G does NOT rent out the park today. There is another company that is based in Cincinnati that rents out the park today. P&G`s company buy outs of the park typically occur on the third weekend in September, usually the week after GE`s company buy out.

Let just say, today it will be like a ghost town.

^^ Thanks for the correction! I knew there was another company that regularly rented out the park, but I couldn't think of its name.

I spy a test dummy.

The webcam really does not do this thing any justice at all, until you are looking up at it or riding by it on Racer, then you realize that it is huge. Even the ride carriage itself is giant. The lighting package at night is also very nice and looks almost like a carnival ride sometimes.

That is so weird Delirium13... Exact same image, exact same post underneath...

Not anymore! One of the two is the live feed, and the people have moved!

That is weird! When I clicked on the topic again I was so confused. But yes my photo is live feed so unfortunately when the ride opens it will seem like I am calling the carriage full of riders test dummies.

, that's why I uploaded mine.

I've been a test dummy once or twice in my life...at least.

Sometimes, I even passed!

Now the main "WindSeeker1" cam is down as well. If I try to view the image directly (which is what I usually do since the actual image is much larger than the size they display it at on their webpage), I just get a "404 not found" error :|

The Fox19 camera is still up though.

I have a feeling that the ride will not be open for at least another month. Just the way the park is acting about things. No need to tell me why it will be open soon, just my feelings about it.

How are you viewing it directly not via the KI website?

That there is a link directly to the image. Sadly, it's still not up as of right now

...and it's raining again.

Is it too late to call this thing Rainseeker?

It's not working for me either.

Maybe they took down the webcam for testing. Just in case something bad happens.

Maybe they're more concerned about the ride being open on time than they are about fixing a webcam.

Isn't it the same camera that was used for DB? Maybe that particular camera is allergic to testing...

Webcam is back up

The remaining sections of the fence are being installed. Won't be long now
