This one is 301 feet. The question now is...how tall will CP build theirs? Taller than this would probably put it as the second tallest ride in the park behind TTD.

I think Knotts is also at 2.

EDIT: Guess not anymore.

Knotts is also getting a 301' Wind Seeker with a "K" at the top. Replacing the Sky Cabin.

Do you think CP's will be taller? As to have the tallest Windseeker ride in the world?

Does it matter? You really think an extra 10' or whatever is going to make a difference in the quality of the ride? Because having _____est certainly doesn't.

I'm not saying it does matter becasue it really doesn't. But when they built Skyhawk it was the talles swing ride, so I was just curious if anyone thinks CPs would be a bit taller since they typically do that sort of thing.

That difference in 'ride quality' is likely not very significant, but the _____est thing does matter when advertising, especially at a park where people are used to getting the biggest or craziest ride.

^ Exactly. Do people notice a huge difference between Skyhawk and something like Screamin' Swing at Dorney? Probably not...but CP could market it as the tallest swing ride when it was built.
