At this time Knott’s Berry Farm has yet to announce a replacement for Windseeker.Īs of Tuesday the 3rd, the top two sections of the tower have been removed. Cables and wires where the towers eight sections will come apart have also been removed. California was the sole exception, they wanted an outside rung and also cage surrounding the ladder. This ladder is certifiable safe in 49 states, and dozens of other countries (including Canada). This week the first part of the tower, the UFO or topper, was removed. This is the reason Worlds of Fun has Steelhawk and not Knotts Berry Farm. The ride’s massive tower would be repainted to match the other Windseekers. Worlds of Fun, another Cedar Fair park, announced they were getting Knott’s Windseeker in 2014 but will rename it Steel Hawk to avoid bad press with the Windseeker name. That would require the park to completely redesign the base where the seats are attached and that would cost a lot. California has very strict safety standards and Knott’s would have to build a cage around the external lader. Mondial designed an emergency basket to take four guest down at a time, but that wasn’t enough for it reopen. All other Windseeker rides closed as a precaution. The ride stranded guests in the air for hours on Septemand that turned out to be the rides last day of operation. Windseeker was set to open in the spring of 2011, but was delayed and opened in August 2011. They built Wind seeker on the site of an old restaurant in the Fiesta Village section of the park. ![]() Thankfully Knott’s changed their mind and refurbished the Sky Cabin.
