From Atlanta, Heading to Kings Island This Weekend (Looking For Advice)

[sheikra_rocks]

So? I was asked a question and I answered. On a side note, had thegajone went to CP this year they would have ridden Gatekeeper and next year could have ridden Banshee on a Kings Island visit. Glad they had a great time though. I read the trip report.

Gatekeeper has developed a "bump" in the back of the trains, much worse than Diamondback's shudder.

Got to ride Gatekeeper 30 times on media day and loved it, then went back on opening weekend for Halloweekends, and wanted my one ride to be over with.

Is B&M getting lazy or something. It seems like all of their more recent coasters DB and Gatekeeper have tgis terrible shuddering while ither old coasters such as BTR and Nitro are still very smooth.

I'd suggest you look at who is maintaining what how. I highly doubt B&M is "getting lazy."

In maintaining a coaster, choices can be made as to costs and reliability and ride comfort. It's a tradeoff, and different parks and park companies maintain their rides differently.
