That's sad, i enjoy this ride, but the damn seat belts are waaaaaay too short! No reason for it really. The belt should come up between the legs like on Maverick.....or just be an inch or two longer. -

Is there a low temperature cut off point for B&M roller coasters? Just curious if this will be running if the temps are still under 40 degrees at 5:30am. -

With the extra supports needed on Ka's tower, i don't think there is enough room for them on TTD as to where the Tower is located in the park. Plus walkways and buildings right in that area. I just don't see CP doing this with Dragster. -

I feel sorry for the workers that are going to be catching hell from parents because of this decision. Im just glad my kids are over 48" (49" and 52") so i dont have to deal with them being disappointed about not being able to ride a coaster that they were able to last year! This is ridiculous! -

They probably would have some lighting package on the towers as well. I hope they would go with the multi color towers, the plain color would not look good on the new midway IMO. -

Without the seat belts, kids could easily slip out. There is enough room for my kids to unbuckle and just slide out between the gap left between the restraint and the seat/side of the car. Most of the turns throw you to the right of the train and i was watching my kids as they sat in front of us, and i could see how a small child could slip out without the seatbelt. I also watched as a girl and her mother were panicking as a spider was in their train, the girl got out (restraints were locked) but the ops told her to get back in the seat. I wonder if we will ever see the rumored replacement with Gemini's two trains that are sitting idle, if that is even possible. -
B&M Wing Rider Coasters - Love or Hate?
JWAddington replied to jfruge's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
From media day rides on GateKeeper, then compared to the rides i had at their Halloweekend event (awesome event btw) GateKeeper was a better ride. The unlocked vests really make the difference, along with whatever wheel combination they were using. I never expected GateKeeper to deliver airtime or extreme forces, i just expected a completely different experience from any other ride in the park and that is what it delivered! Its a very good ride that i know will keep the line moving with how its a "people eater"(insert music here) The feeling of it being rough, in my experience, towards the back of the train, it felt like the train was fighting itself if that makes sense. Kind of a jerky, quick back and forth motion, maybe add in a bad wheel, but it wasn't every time. Each train probably travels the course a little differently, everyone usually has their favorite. -

Fast lane doesn't belong on low capacity rollercoasters/rides! And thats coming from someone that has used Fast Lane! -

I highly doubt that's the track seams as the train rolls over them. That would be horrible designing/engineering of the track! You can see the anti-rollbacks rattling up and down as you are riding, causing the noise you are hearing! -

Good Pizza, burgers, salad bar, taco/nacho stuff, pasta fixin's, meatloaf, fried chicken mashed potatoes and gravy, mini corn dogs, smiley fries, good mac n cheese, had some decent pulled pork the last time we were there also. Made sandwiches out of that. If you leave hungry, thats your own fault!
