Question about Gatekeeper: From the animation video on their website, it appears that Gatekeeper is a shuttle coaster. Any views?

GP alert!

 

Kidding, but seriously, it's not a shuttle. Explain how the ride would be able to go back through the entire layout without extreme forces and multiple launches.

Are the footers past the beach (in the lot and entrance) poured?

Footers have been poured in the lot, and I assume around the entrance as-well. Usually, vertical construction speeds up (as of now) once all the footings and ground work is complete/near complete.

They just posted another picture of the lift hill to their Facebook. Picture is below.

Whats the point of making a new roller coaster when the park is closing soon due to the season?Soo Haley your going to have to wait,till spring
And you go higher, and higher and higher......then ya fall smack back to earth cause the ride isn't even close to being done yet! LOL

Not really a cure for anything if you cant afford for a pass in order to even ride it!

Wow! It always amazes me how quickly progress can be made on builds like this.

 

I guess it's just a big Lego really!

 

 

It would be interesting to know how much time (and money) is spent to prepare for the construction versus installation. How much does track manufacture cost versus putting it in place? How long does it take for the engineers to design the ride and for the factory to make the track?

 

As for a big Lego, what if Legoland is making a coaster (out of Lego?).

 

I love the facebook comments about the new ride. It has me wondering how someone can be smart enough to use a computer and then post those things.

 

A small technical question about the lift hill: I don't understand why they didn't add the railings for the lift stairs while the piece was on the ground. Would the railings be in the way of assembly? Surely adding the railing when it's 50 meters in the air will be more complicated.
