-PRESS RELEASE-
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 than 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.

@siriuslyaddicted18 My guess would be casual. On Wonderland's website it says Ascent/Descent rate is 50 seconds. It doesn't say whether it's 50 seconds each or not though. Also I think it might damage the arms if it descended too fast because it looks like they could be pushed out as it fell.
This looks like it'll be one of those feel good enjoy the view kind of rides, nonetheless I'm happy about this one :D
@AwesomeDude617 ya it is but i guess its gonna be everywhere....
@siriuslyaddicted18 Good question... I was wondering the same thing..
Is this really being debuted at 4 parks at the same time? If it is, that's pretty awesome.
