JonnyRCT3 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Looks like the other side of the immelman is going up! ^Did a double-check on that. Thought I was seeing double Interesting video and photos on GateKeeper construction, very informing at first. Then ends with a GP statement www.marionstar.com/article/20121208/NEWS01/312080020/Cedar-Point-s-Gatekeeper-tall-fast-winged -nearly 600 pieces of steel set to be laid over a 100 day period -180 footers -1,000+ anchor bolts -Testing is set to begin in April and last for at-least a month before human riders. -Footers have been poured for the Zero-G/Inline roll. (But the same gate is still there ) EIDT: Apparently, multiple rides have their lighting packages in Yolo.....err full gear. probably due to all the wiring just laid. Glad too see they're precocious.

DarienLaker Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Looks like the other side of the immelman is going up! Looks more like the start of a Cobra Roll as opposed to an immelman to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuschini Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Really looks like CP is doing this Wing-Rider the right way. Looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRHcoasterki Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 ^ Yeah, and I love where the ride is located, it makes it seem a lot taller than it really is. (Which is a good thing.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 ^Love that pic! The colors of the rides in that area really go nicely together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmicha Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 ^Exactly what I thought when I saw it. The introduction of the gorgeous colors of Gatekeeper plus the colors of Windseeker which tie everything together really make for a fun, vibrant, beechy color scheme at the front of the park. I'm a fan. Gatekeeper is looking great. I can't wait to ride it next season. It'll be exciting to see them construct the keyhole front gate. Definitely going to be the ultimate entrance feature.

screaminkid2005 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 That picture is BEAUTIFUL! I'm really happy at how much progress they've been making with this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CpBluestreakCp Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I really love that picture as well, all the rides just tie together. No clash at all. I cannot wait to see how the coaster will look over the entrance, it's gonna be a sight to see walking up to the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacificoaster Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 What makes that picture so great is the dark sky which provides an amazing contrast to the ride colors. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFOGdude25 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 ^I cannot get over how good this coaster looks. It adds SO much life to that section of the park. Hopefully the ride experience will be just as good if not better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Definitely love the color scheme on this ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zem Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Wicked Twister is looking kind of dull and faded compared to the new shine of GateKeeper. Wonder if any rides at CP will get a fresh coat of paint in the next couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcoaster 2 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 ^ They are in the process of painting Millenium Force and Blue Streak just got a repaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
australianalex Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 One more, from Cedar Point's Twitter account today: WOW! The pictures taken from a distance made Gatekeeper look a bit bland in colour to me and I wasn't sure if I liked the paint job, but this picture has laid any of my concerns to rest. The ride looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EquusStorm Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 The photo hardly even looks real. It's glorious! If Cedar Point were closer or I had money, you can bet I'd be storming the gates the second GateKeeper opens next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I love how the lift hill is at the same angle as Raptor's first drop. I think this will be one of those coasters that people will get more and more excited for as construction photos keep popping up. I have a feeling the renderings haven't quite done Gatekeeper justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Wicked Twister is looking kind of dull and faded compared to the new shine of GateKeeper. Wicked Twister doesn't look very faded in that photo. Twister's paint looks a heck a lot better than Xcelerator's faded track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
