They moved it up and down a few times this was as far up as it went, they’d lift it up do a bit of work then drop it back down. I waited a fair while hoping it went to the top

I believe we have a full cycle 

[Coasterlife 212]

now all we need is someone to record it in operation

I've not heard a Huss one what do they sound like compared to Wipe Out?

More of a woosh and less of a weee.

Yeah a video with sound would have been much more useful than annoying music IMO

I’m going to miss Wipeout’s ability to twist.

Me too, but what wipeout makes up for with its twisting the Huss makes up for with its speed and spins

I can't get over how much wind that ride was making.

It sounded like a post mix soda machine was having an aneurysm in the background

No fountains present 😓

There are fountains just relax it’s testing 😂

Ahhh that’s the sound we like to hear. I just hope SeaWorld do the ride justice and give it a good cycle. Wipeout ain’t got nothing on these! There’s a reason why soo many Top Spins exist compared to the Waikiki Waves!

Most likely the machine is reasonably priced, easy to operate, maintain, and is less prone to breakdowns (low downtime). All owner/operator benefits. But IMO, a modern version of a Vekoma Waikiki Wave / Zamperla Suspended Windshear will always win in terms of rider satisfaction, non-rider guest wow factor, and ride sensations.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen HUSS and Moderately Priced in the same sentence before.

Not sure that you’ll ever see a modern version of a Waikiki wave to gain some rider satisfaction and guest wow factor...

I know its just testing but normally in that part of the cycle you can get about 4 flips in a row.

I got to see what looked like a normal cycle but was to far away to film it. Plenty of spins. 
But then it seemed like they were doing a lot of Estop tests, I’ll be back in a few days hopefully it’s filled with test dummies and doing full cycles and I can film 1

In this youtube video you see quite a lot of vortex operating and some closeups of leviathan
