beastrider97 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 WOW! I am very excited for the ride! The layout looks great, and the name fits with the ride very well. I hope to be at the park for opening day, as I've been excited for a new roller coaster at Cedar Point. The entrance should breath some life back into the DT area, which it has needed for a while.

Coney Islander Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I went to Cedar Point for the second time a few weeks ago and experienced things differently than I had during my previous visit. (2006) My four favorite rides of the day even (mildly) surprised me. 1. Skyhawk 2. Disaster Transport 3. WindSeeker 4. Calypso I did not ride maXair or Wicked Twister. I do not find very many roller coasters at Cedar Point 'fun.' On the majority (yes, the majority) of these, I'm too busy bracing myself for the next blow to notice the forces, views, at least to the extent I would like to. That, or uncomfortably being bounced around the inside of the car like a rubber ball. From what it looks, very recent additions to Cedar Point have been going a different direction, in being less violent/ physically draining, up to the upcoming Gatekeeper. I can easily see Gatekeeper taking Disaster Transport's spot in the order of most enjoyed rides during my next visit. (If I do go to Cedar Point again.)

LongliveKingsCobra Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I went to Coasterforce's page. WOW. If those photos are real...well...I can't wait. It looks massive! And I love how it incorporates the front gate. Once again, I am SO for the name too! I really like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Looking at all the pics, especially the keyhole elements, Gatekeeper is a perfect name. Enthusiasts will hate it *shock*, I love it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohiocolts Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 ^Totally random guess, but maybe a B&M wing coaster, called Gatekeeper? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BavarianBeatle Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Just because it's a B&M, doesn't mean it's going to be a bore...this ride looks very promising. Don't judge something until you ride it for yourself. Anyone who judges a ride before they ride it should not be allowed to consider themselves an enthusiast Sorry, I missed the part of my post that talked about the ride experience. I find the "leaked" information about yet another B&M coaster to be uninteresting and lacking in originality. Although this may disqualify me from being a "fanboy," it does not change my status as an "enthusiast." And, by the way, by saying that the ride "looks promising," you yourself are judging the ride before having ridden it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 For those going to the announcement, I believe the first 200 people get free t shirts with the ride logo on them. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said looks promising, not that it will be the best new coaster, or the worst coaster of all time. I'm holding off judgment of the ride until I sit down and ride it myself. I don't automatically assume all B&M coasters are boring, all Arrows are rough and jerky, or that all Intamin coasters must be unreliable. You don't know until you experience that particular ride for yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick00 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Btw for anyone that cannot make the announcement, it will be streamed online. Here's a link below, http://pointbuzz.com/c/pointbuzz-live.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightoffear1996 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 ^ I am sure the ride will be going slow through the elements. THe ride will be fun but not intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 I have heard that CP will not start taking down the names of the first 200 for the free shirts until 3:00pm. I honestly wonder how many are already camping out to be one of the precious 200? And this will be how # 201 looks: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastrider97 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'd recommend watching sanduskyregister.com live stream. Pointbuzz's seems to be lagging a ton. EDIT 1: The costumed announcer resembled the original Banshee logo to me. EDIT 2: After the MCBR, it is only a helix and drop. VP says it will not have a "roar" like Raptor. Video does not seem to show a brake on the airtime hill. New food truck outside of the park. Not sure if that has been around recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastrider97 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 A new food truck? What does CP need a food truck for? I guess to grab something on the way out of the park. I did see one at KI earlier this year with pretzles, popcorn, and coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
