11slataus Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 This definitely looks epic. I was very hesitant about CP getting a wing coaster after riding SFGAm's X-Flight (which is OK at best), but this appears to blow all the other wing coasters out of the water! I really hope there is an inversion after the MCBR, however. It appears to be just a helix but it's hard to see. Just a helix would be a bit of an underwhelming finish, especially after the MCBR. Really hoping there's not a trim on the giant airtime hill. That would be just like something B&M would do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Farmer Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Looks like a fun coaster. I'll remember to take my seat on this one mindful of the low expectations I had for X-Flight as I sat down for that one- ended up being pleasantly surprised. After the article in The Sandusky Register, I think the biggest question I had was whether it would have an X-Flight rollover drop, or something along the lines of Wild Eagle/X-Raptor. The name is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock_boehm Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 This looks awesome! What a gorgeous B&M. I wasn't sure about the name at first, but I think its growing on me. The layout looks really nice. I kinda thought it would be a little taller (I was thinking over 200'). Looks like it will be a great ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simaticable Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I can't wait to see the final product of this monster! This looks like the fun and intense coaster that I would love! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigaG Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 That dive loop looks inclined to me, like Hydra. It might invert more than Hydra, but depending on how this turns out, it might just be an inclined dive loop like Hydra, which I don't consider an inversion.

theonetheonlyJT Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I can't wait to see the final product of this monster! He isn't a monster he is the guardian of Cedar Point and his name is Fred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 After seeing what has been leaked, I'm pretty excited for this thing. I also really like the name. I guess I'm gonna have to figure out a way to make an opening day CP trip for the first time in a couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaMiTsPaT Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 The part above the main gate looks absolutely stunning and I love the color. I was worried about Cedar Point putting in a wingrider, but this coaster has me excited to return! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intaman Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I like both the look and lay-out. I also really like the key-holes over the front entrance. Gatekeeper should be a great addition to the park! I am looking forward to next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanLegend Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I didn't realize Wingriders had such a lukewarm reception. I really liked X-Flight and would love if it were closer to home. This is shaping up to be the Riddler's Revenge of Wingriders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
australianalex Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 That dive loop looks inclined to me, like Hydra. It might invert more than Hydra, but depending on how this turns out, it might just be an inclined dive loop like Hydra, which I don't consider an inversion. It's more of an inversion than the inclined loop (which is actually just a helix) on the Swarm at Thorpe Park that doesn't even come close to inverting you, I don't think it even tips past 90 degrees. Yet RCDB and Thorpe Park still count it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I'd like to point out that the emperor is not wearing any clothes. Four B&M Wing Riders have been built and have not been praised by enthusiasts yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Look like it will be a great addition to Cedar Point. I didn't love the Wild Eagle but it was a lot of fun and should be a huge crowd pleaser for the massive crowds at Cedar Point. I'm glad to see them incorperating the interactive elements at the front gate, that should be a specatucular visual for people entering the park (or shorten lines at Maverick 0.

alpengeist04 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 No limits on ride POV. Not sure how it ended so I just tried to connect it. Well you went with the most logical guess, a long break run. ...Nicely done. ^The Key Master would be just as awesome as The Gatekeeper. The only thing I'm a little disappointed about with this announcement is no giant dog-like statues. Maybe they'll surprise us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odene497 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 The whole wing-rider concept doesn't really excite me, but as far as the layouts go this looks like it'll be pretty fun. I guess I'll be renewing my platinum pass next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRCT3 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 a wing rider to me is: a sit down style layout with advanced inverted trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUSHIE Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) I hope the supports for the ride over the park's entrance aren't too intrusive. Nothing uglier than supports sporadically in the middle of a walkway. The portions of the ride that go over the gate itself look more or less symmetrical so hopefully it doesn't look too bad, and it looks like the structures for the keyholes will also act as aesthetically pleasingish support for the ride. It also seems that Space Spiral being taken out really had nothing to do with this ride. Edited August 12, 2012 by SLUSHIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazywolf88 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Even with the leaked layout I still wonder what " They will be set free" means. Guess we're going to find out tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
