Gatekeeper Documentary


Recommended Posts

I also saw that documentary- it made Gatekeeper look awesome, and gave a good idea on how a coaster goes from concept to construction to reality...and while the removal of Space Spiral has changed the "landscape" at Cedar Point, true, Gatekeeper also brought its own massive landscape changes with it as well, even if SS could have somehow been saved (I fail to see how it was ever in Gatekeeper's way, though I am guessing it's removal had to due more with age and decreasing popularity as the video suggested) and GK still built where it currently sits- especially given the modifications to the new entrance and the keyholes. (I'd also suggest removing bobsled-in-a-box affected the landscape more than removing Space Spiral)

Awesome video!

^And if SS wouldn't have been removed, it also would have been very cramped near GK. Plus there wouldn't be that shaded plaza area outside the Coke Freestyle and Frozen Yogurt place. Yes, it was a Cedar Point icon, but sometimes things must be removed for the better, as heard in the video.
