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 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rappa 2,530 Report post Posted November 5 Yeah a video with sound would have been much more useful than annoying music IMO 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HussRainbow87 185 Report post Posted November 5 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! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
