RCT3Bross Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Mother nature has given the blessing: The second key-hole goes up. Can't wait to see the track go through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamez Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Second keyhole is going up right on schedule: Edit: Beat me to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrocoasterkid Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Great to see the second keyhole going up. Side note, did anyone notice the section of track lifted into place yesterday, was removed later in the day (along with the support that was also installed)? Interesting.

Joe Cool Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 The key holes are awesome. Definitely will be awesome seeing the ride fly over the entrance in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCT3Bross Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 The last part stand up vertical. Come back to this post again for updates in the next few minutes. Edit: 3:01 PM: Keyhole replaced, now next to his end destination. Edit: 3:03 PM: Keyhole in the air. Edit: 3:06 PM: Keyhole at end destination. Almost ready for securing. Edit: 3:07 PM: Keyhole is ready for Securing: From the other side: Keyhole on his place. Now they only need some track going through them and its perfect.

I don't think any supports were installed though. » Tue Feb 05, 2013 3:34 pm That was the point I was trying to make. It looks the same as it did yesterday morning, but at one point the track and supports were further along in the circuit. Since I posted this, I found a discussion and photos to verify it. These our courtesy of a "davidw" over on Pointbuzz (Note the time stamps too): Support and Track "Installed" Track Removed Support Removed Support Loaded Back on to Truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePasswordIsPie Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Looks like a typical winter Ohio day for Gatekeeper. That lake looks nasty. I'm sure the CP fanboys are crying over the fact that Space Spiral would be smack dab in the middle of that photo. I haven't seen one person complain over the fact that space spiral was removed. You don't know Pie. *Sad music plays* R.I.P Space Spiral 1965-2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 They should have kept Space Spiral, like CGA has kept Star Tower when Goldrusher is being built. At least we still have the Skyride in the midway to get a bird's eye view of Cedar Point, but for how long? *DUN DUN DUUN* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) They should have kept Space Spiral, like CGA has kept Star Tower when Goldrusher is being built. At least we still have the Skyride in the midway to get a bird's eye view of Cedar Point, but for how long? *DUN DUN DUUN* Power Tower is only slightly less intense and has better ridership than Space Spiral. No dirty as sin glass to obstruct the breathtaking view of north central Ohio, 'Murica either. Edited February 6, 2013 by Ed Farmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traincrossin Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Don't know about you guys, but I enjoy observation towers that have air conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternut Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Interesting regarding the Coastermania post. I'll be there like always. I guess they're going to get the Windseekers going again. It's listed on ERT. I was wondering if any of them would ever run again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomman295 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 For some reason, I really like the CoasterMania picture. Maybe it's because they actually posted pictures of their real rides, after me being so used to the crap I let Six Flags get away with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koasterking48 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 ^ It's been better in the past. Last year's was Friday the Thirteenth and the lanyards looked pretty neat. I'm not to crazy about this year's picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CpBluestreakCp Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 At this rate, the Zero-G Roll through the key holes could be done today and maybe the rest of the track in 2 or so weeks, I'd say. They are going pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Mutts Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The Zero G Roll looks smaller than I thought it would be (Hopefully that means more forces ). The entrance is going to looks sweet with Gatekeeper going above it (WAY better than the 1980s entrance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
