it doesn't look 100ft but it is, according to the article. at least they didn't get stuck at the top!

^ Phew I'm glad to hear that no one got hurt on the ride! Friendly Reminder: Imagine Knoebels when you spell "Knott's" correctly for some reasons. (Eh... not "phonetic" ones, though.)

^ The rides are, I hope, always safe!

THAT is some BS and one hell of an evacuation.

Windseeker is getting its revenge

The reason why it came to a stop is still unknown.

It's probably like 40 years old.

honestly I thought that thing would be gone by now, it's completely useless

I'm glad nobody was hurt, but according to some articles it took 8 hours to get everyone off. That is completely unacceptable. Knowing the state of California, I've got a feeling this may be the last we've seen of the Sky Cabin, as I'm guessing they'll require some pretty extreme modifications before allowing the ride to reopen. It is 40 years old and was supposed to be removed for Windseeker, so it wouldn't surprise me if Knott's opts to tear it out rather than invest money to fix it.
