WindSeeker

In 1903, Kitty Hawk, North Carolina became symbolic to the Carolinas as the site of the "first flight." Now, more than 100 years later, Carowinds is giving guests the opportunity to experience what the Wright Brothers pioneered; the sense of soaring through the air! WindSeeker is the second tallest ride at Carowinds, only behind Fury 325. The three-minute ride begins when the ride's carriage slowly rotates while climbing to the top of the 301-foot tower. Riders will experience a sense of weightlessness as the swings reach speeds up to 30 mph, and the arms extend outward at a 45-degree angle, promising to give riders an astonishing panoramic view of the park and the greater Charlotte region. The fun really lights up when the sun goes down! WindSeeker features an elaborate LED lighting system. Aside from the LED spotlights that are located at the top and bottom of the tower, the carriage is equipped with LED lightings which run from the tower down each of the ride's steel arms. At night, as the ride ascends to the top of the tower, the light display will come to life with a kaleidoscope of colorful patterns and shapes. Guests must be 52" tall to ride.
