beastrider97 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Isn't Raptor awesome? We are counting down until the secret will be set free. Click on the 2013 tab to countdown with us. Are you on the EDGE of your seat and holding on? Reference to the winged seating most likely. I sort of like the name Gatekeeper, it would make sense given the location. Given the current winged logo, it seems like there would be an almost bird like theme to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Cedar Fair comes up with some pretty awful names, but Gatekeeper is the worst yet. Wait for the announcement before deciding that the name doesn't fit. For all we know, the coaster could be flying around a giant Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Gatekeeper? Let me guess, the queue line will contain exhibits of various gates found around the world...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Picard Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Gatekeeper could be the one that keeps most of the gate. The old Gatekeeper didn't want to give the gate away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWBeast1039 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I do hope that Gatekeeper is just a code name. That doesn't sound like the name of a big bad coaster. They might as well call it the hedgetrimmer, or the janitor. Gravekeeper on the other hand would be cool, with black track and a scary theme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Or it could be leaked "on purpose". What was the hint from the beginning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I disagree. Giving, THE Gatekeeper could work. Giving it a "character" ...oh wait we can call it Zulu. Who you gonna call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondhawk Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I think the name Gatekeeper is a reference to the Levithan, sometimes called the Gatekeeper of h***. So even though in some ways it's a clever name, Gatekeeper sounds boring if you don't have background information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_humor Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I personally like the name Gatekeeper quite a bit, especially with a Gargoyle theme (potentially). Why is Gatekeeper bad when the signature elements of the ride include at least one (rumored two) passes right over the new soon-to-be-built main gate? It's the new Gatekeeper to the park. I dig it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Be glad it's not Six Flags. Leviathan would be sponsored by Levi. And Gatekeeper would be sponsored by Home Depot! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Exactly.THE Gatekeeper was awakened when he sensed his park was being over run by people, he woke to protect his gates and scare off unsuspecting guests... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 According to the thread on Pointbuzz, the cedarpoint.com site map briefly contained two new sections, "Edge" and "Interceptor The Ride", which were removed quickly after discovery. False clues, or sloppy website updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Mantis is a dead ride? It should be, as taking almost 4 G's in the knees isn't enjoyable to most people, especially when you're walking around all day. In the small sample of people I asked in line when I rode it for my first (and only) time, zero had ridden it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_BEASTmaster Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Mantis is a dead ride? I think they're referring to it's original name "Banshee" being dead before they named it Mantis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I must of missed the Mantis post. I have only seen WildCat and the "Disaster" post. Can you explain where Mantis came into the conversation, I am unable to find it on their site or Facebook page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
