Its just the wheels hitting the bolts on the track.......

The best way I can describe is when a seat belt in a car locks, it tightens and wont release. And unlike a car where you can just unlock the seat belt when ever, you have to wait till you're back in the station. For me it was more of an uncomfortable pain then intolerable pain, after my 2nd ride on Wild Eagle I was just ignoring the pain.

The trains look amazing there are more pictures in the blog http://www.cedarpoint.com/blog-article/online-fun/First-Look-at-New-GateKeeper-Trains The guardians are awake =D

Guess what we got a sneak peek of today? Check out on OnPoint blog on Monday for the rest of the picture and more! http://bit.ly/VBxUtu From Cedar Points Facebook

At least this year Ill be able to see more TPR members then the last 3 years. (I was the one that put up the little TPR sign in Mean Streaks control booth when TPR visited in 2011)

Hes saying that he would like to see Planet snoopy expand into Kiddy Kingdom ( Mind you KD added a small version of Planet Snoopy in 2010 where most of the Nickelodeon stuff was)

I have a feeling at least as to why the top of the keyholes has a gap is to allow the cable of the crane to pass through, to place the segments of track a lot easier.

You can actually see how the keyholes will connect and where the track will be supported in this video Cedar Point posted on their Facebook, of the fist section of the keyholes leaving the plant. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151214618461463

Cedar Point posted a new blog. http://www.cedarpoint.com/blog-article/online-fun/Keyhole-Exclusive http://www.cedarpoint.com/blog-article/online-fun/Keyhole-Exclusive http://www.cedarpoint.com/blog-article/online-fun/Keyhole-Exclusive http://www.cedarpoint.com/blog-article/online-fun/Keyhole-Exclusive

something interesting I found on Google earth. I know it's 2 photos spliced together but I find it cool that the satellite was it the right place at the right time kinda thing. from Google Earth

New location for the up close webcam , now facing the entrance http://174.121.245.214/cp/HalloweekendsCam_640.jpg

Stengle Dives

No limits only offers Chain Lifts unless you mess with textures in the program (no easy task)

I don't mean to get all technical but a that's considered a Dive loop (opposite of an Immelman). According to CP's press release they call it a Inclined Dive Loop – a tight, 180-degree turnaround pushes riders through an overbanked turn and rockets them back towards the station.

So far (and ill be fine if i dont get anything eles) a Coasterdynamix Scorpion

If you cant tell by the Photos I'm doing a recreation of Gatekeeper. I'm going at the pace of what they are doing construction wise so I dont get too overwhelmed with this project. I'm putting in some of my first 3Ds into this model, so tell me what you think. P.S. The keyhole pic is just to see how my 3D would fit with the track and how it would look. What the construction crew had done 12/8/2012 I wast testing out my 3D of the Keyholes and how they would look with the track

Knobels is the best small park IMO

That's the first inversion ( Wing over Drop) he's talking about the the second one(immelmann). Which should be the tallest one in the world, I cant think of any large ones out there; besides the one on the Superman floorless in Spain.

Here a nice little time laps video made by the park, of yesterdays lift instillation.

Really? Did you even watch the video, Wes? God you're so dumb... http://youtu.be/cJqhApNBjes?t=1m23s I'm sure he meant, "really did he just ask that?"

It was done that way for the announcement to delay showing off the Key-hole towers.

I was just thinking, there should be a thread like this. This is my idea of how you should enter Gatekeepers line. The rough dimensions are 20ft wide by 14ft tall. Also here is my idea for a Gemini sign if the ever gave the ride one neither project is done

The storage area is in what was the preferred Parking lot, Its about where the air time hill and giant corkscrew will be.

The Blog is back with some great shots of GateKeeper vertical construction. http://www.cedarpoint.com/gatekeeper/news/gatekeeper-blog/blog-article/Back-OnPoint And some Photos posted to The Great Ohio Coaster Club/s Facebook http://www.facebook.com/greatohiocc http://www.facebook.com/greatohiocc

Does it really matter? You never see it anyway. The thing could be pink with spots, and no one could care less. Calm down, I was just asking a question, it's not like I'm losing sleep over it. And sorry for asking the same question that was asked a few posts earlier.
