BoddaH1994 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Sent to me by Kings Island's Don Helbig. SANDUSKY, OHIO – Eric Lapp (right) and Jeff Durbin (left) from Cedar Point’s maintenance division get their first look at a train on the track of the new Gatekeeper roller coaster Friday at the 364-acre amusement park. Riders on Gatekeeper will fly through a wing-coaster record 4,164 feet of track along Lake Erie and across the park’s redesigned main entrance. The ride will also set world records for the longest drop (165 feet), tallest inversion (170 feet), the most inversions (six) and fastest speed (67 miles per hour) of any wing coaster. Cedar Point and Gatekeeper open to the general public for the 2013 season May 11. Courtesy / Cedar Point Trains for Gatekeeper after they were placed on the transfer track of the ride yesterday to post on KIC. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanna Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 This is very exciting to see the ride and stats. Now I'm truly frightened, and might have to take that trek to CF. The restraints look very adaptable to many different body types, which means I won't feel like I'm falling out of the chair during the inversion.
