Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[UrbanLegend]

Although it'll probably mean a forceless ride, I love how every element of this coaster is so big. It just looks really visually impressive.

Just felt this thread needed the most epic "gatekeeper" reference ever put to film.

[MillenniumCP]

I am super excited for this ride. I am looking forward to taking pictures of it just as much as riding it. I like the way the construction area's dirt blends nicely with the beach sand. It would be cool if they left the beach facing side supports under sand.

^^I must respectfully disagree:

 

We all have opinions. Wasn't saying mine is right, but I can daydream based on the photos just posted. Sorry, I should have said "supports surrounded sand". Seeing that Wicked Twister has sand around it's supports, there may be a chance it could happen.

 

He wasnt talking to you. He was talking to the guy 2 posts above you.. that's what ^^ means.

[MillenniumCP]

Sorry, not on forums much. Thank you for clarification though.

Gatekeeper update!

[firewalk13]

mmm, there's station porn in that post.....

[thrilljunkie]

Don't have a clue how it will ride, as I've yet to even ride a Wing coaster yet, but there's no question that this thing looks absolutely stunning! I am in awe of the colors and its placement along the lake.

 

Looking forward to returning to the Point (and the Breakers Friday's ) this year to take Gatekeeper for a spin!

Rode X- Flight in Chicago. It was very smooth and fast. The best part is this Gate Keeper is quite a monster compared to that.

If Gate Keeper is as smooth as X Flight it will surpass Millenium Force and Top Thrill Dragster in attendence.

That's kinda a stretch. Maverick had come close, but I don't think it surpasses MF or TTD. I definitely see it passing up Raptor and Maverick though. Who knows? Maybe after opening year the lines will stay as long as they will be in 2013. That would be impressive.

[CoasterGuy06]

If nothing else, Gatekeeper will have higher capacity than either Millennium Force/Maverick/TTD, and likely will have higher uptime. That's a good recipe to beat them out in overall ridership, especially in its first season.

[jray21]

It really is a great looking ride. I still have never ridden an wing-rider. Maybe this one will be my first!

[Coaster Curt]

Really looking forward to riding Gatekeeper in May, at least a couple times. I hope the lines stay long at Gatekeeper because that will shorten my wait time on the other awesome rides in the park

[DougMJr]

Yeah, I hope that Gatekeeper will help take care of the morning rush so I can get my rides on Mav, Milli, and TTD first.

When it comes to the GP: TTD > Everything else

^ Although Magnum still gets the best ridership in the whole park.

[thepoint4life23]

Magnum is a people eater

[Coaster Curt]

Seriously, Magnum has the highest amount of riders?

 

What are the top ten rides in the park according to rides given per year?

[Koasterking48]

Magnum is a people eater

funny thing is Gemini was the highest capacity roller coaster in the world back in the day. 6 trains that fit 30 people on each one wasn't just a people eater. It was a capacity monster

[Carnage]

^ Back when it did a decent job at racing as well. I can fondly remember doing repeated laps on Gemini in a row. It's been a long time since I've had interest or ability to do it.

[Koasterking48]

I honestly find the ride butter-smooth. Other than the final helix, it's a very enjoyable ride.

[JonnyRCT3]

She's a great coaster. That helix is a reminder that this thing is fun to the end.

What do you expect, it's not an Intamin. So it is actually going to be a thing called "open".

[TyRush]

I could really see this becoming in the top 2 in popularity at CP if its a good experience. Since B&M coasters are 99% reliable most of the time, it will be open much more than TTD/MF.

[Koasterking48]

Gatekeeper will, no doubt have a longer line than MF and TTD, but I'm just wondering what happens in 2014 and beyond.
