Maverick is interesting with the second launch. Its not something ive done much in rct because it limits how many trains i feel comfortable running at once. But maybe i should try it more. It certainly saves on how much lift hill you need which may be economical.

The slingshot ride? lol people are crazy, that's what i love about Cedar Point, last of the true amusement parks where a few kids falling out and getting hurt or dying every year is considered acceptable.

WindSeeker (known as SteelHawk at Worlds of Fun) is a 301-foot-tall (92 m) swing ride at several Cedar Fair parks. The rides are Wind Seeker models manufactured by Mondial.[13] They opened for the 2011 season at Canada's Wonderland in Ontario, Cedar Point and Kings Island in Ohio, and Knott's Berry Farm in California. Carowinds in North Carolina and Kings Dominion in Virginia opened their WindSeekers in 2012. The first four each cost US$5,000,000, and the next two each cost $6,500,000. Cedar Fair plans to relocate the Knott's Berry Farm WindSeeker to Worlds of Fun in 2014, where it will be known as SteelHawk.[12]
The three-minute ride features 32 suspended twin seats (64 seats altogether) spinning around a central tower. A lighting package was installed on all four WindSeekers,[14] consisting of strips of LED lights mounted on the arms that support the swings and (except at Knott's Berry Farm[15]) colored floodlights to illuminate towers from above.
Canada's Wonderland was the first of the four parks to open its WindSeeker in 2011. On May 24, 2011, the ride was only open for a brief time before problems caused it to be closed for repairs;[1] it re-opened the week of June 10.[16] The second WindSeeker was opened to the public at Cedar Point on June 14, 2011,[6] the third on June 21, 2011, at Kings Island,[10] the fourth in mid-August 2011 at Knott's Berry Farm,[11][17] the fifth WindSeeker to open was Carowinds' model which soft-opened on March 30, 2012[4] and officially opened to the public on March 31, 2012[5] and the latest one to open was the sixth WindSeeker at Kings Dominion which officially opened to the public on April 6, 2012.[9]
On September 21, 2012, Cedar Fair announced the temporary closure of all WindSeekers in response to two incidents at Knott's Berry Farm.[18] All the installations, excluding Knott's Berry Farm, later reopened.[19][20] The Knott's Berry Farm installation remain closed for 11 months until it was announced it would be relocated to Worlds of Fun.[12]
