Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

CP just added the "GateKeeper Beach Cam" to the site:

[DJeXeL]

Love it. Can't wait to visit The Point in June.

[DougMJr]

Awesome that they added another camera, now we can watch the station progress. Lookin good!

[COASTER FREAK 11]

From this angle it looks so funny, like the coaster is really separated from the park, haha. (I know its not)

[RCT3Bross]

I really hate the blog. It said that last Friday the Key-hole element would be placed but still nothing. But I love the placement of the new camera.

The park got slammed with a very windy snowstorm the end of last week, which means the cranes can't lift any of the steel.

[DougMJr]

Yeah, not a big deal. They will get them in place soon enough. I'm sure they used the time while the cranes were down to focus on other parts of the project.

It looks too short from station to lift......kinda funny looking in a way.

I figured there was something. Thanks for letting me know. Although I must say the park should have said something, like on Facebook: "Sorry followers of Gatekeeper but the Key-hole doesn't go up today, there is too much wind." There are lot of people who don't know this and follow the park.

Why would the park have a need to tell people anything? I would hope common sense would tell people that something was up and the keyholes didn't go in Friday. Or it was just construction in general and they got behind.

 

I just want Gatekeeper open the first week, planning another trip this year and this is one of the main reasons.

100% correct. There is no need or obligation for the company to address a slight delay in one aspect of the construction unless that delay is going to impact the established opening date.

[coasterlover420]

The first part of the keyhole is going up!

[JRHcoasterki]

^Yay!

[SFOGdude25]

Holy moley that's tall!

[vacoaster09]

HUGE KEYHOLE TOWER

[Fooz]

Wow, it looks taller than I thought, that element is going to be pretty big.

[Sammy*]

Wow they are taller than I expected, It will be interesting to see them apply the track to them when they are done

[JRHcoasterki]

The park just posted this on their FB page:

 

If you think this is cool, wait until you see what it looks like once the other half goes up!

[RCT3Bross]

Yeah It finally happened. Great news today. Soon the sexy B&M track will go through that (still open) hole.

Does someone know what those two connection parts, below the hole on the front, are for?

[therick311]

^ Signage?

[coasterlover420]

To connect the other half....?

[Astrojack]

Right side is for the inline element support.

[larrygator]

To connect the other half....?

 

[therick311]

Or maybe the part of the keyhole that closes the last side of the hole?
