Double0Kevin Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I hereby declare the previous page to be the "Official Gatekeeper Lift Hill Page." I was thinking the same thing, also I get the feeling that some people did some pretty ungodly things while sitting at their computer looking at that page.

Philrad71 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 This is going to be a beautiful ride. It's interesting that Cedar Point is getting this coaster in the post-Kinzel era. I remember reading an interview where Kinzel said Cedar Point would never get a B&M flyer because it was too gimmicky. I wonder if Kinzel would have nixed this coaster type, too? The wing coaster is pretty much the only logical choice for Cedar Point from the B&M catalog, and should at minimum provide some beautiful ocean views and a fun, smooth ride. I've also heard that you'll be able to see Canada across the ocean on a clear day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legoguy1395 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 ^ Actually the lift hill is facing southeast so unless you can turn your head all the way around, I don't think you will be seeing Canada on Gatekeeper anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The lift hill will also need to be way higher to be able to see across the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 ^ Actually the lift hill is facing southeast so unless you can turn your head all the way around, I don't think you will be seeing Canada on Gatekeeper anytime soon. I think he was making fun of the fact that someone referred to lake Erie as an "ocean". You're reading too far into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCW_Nut Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I love watching B&M's go up. Something about how quick they can piece these beasts together just amaze me.
