[Astrojack]

Welcome back Tony Looking forward to the blog posts and night time ERTs.

[traincrossin]

Welcome back Tony! Always seemed like you had more natural enthusiasm for the park than other blogs out there.

[IrishBuckeye]

Welcome back Tony! Really enjoyed some of your posts from seasons past in the OnPoint blog.

The Sandusky Register posted some very cool pictures on their website that they took on a tour the park gave them.

Photographer Jason Werling walked with Cedar Point's Annie Zelm to the top of the lift hill for a higher view of the ride, the park and the lake.

Fantastic! Cant wait to go to CP this summer!

I have a feeling this coaster is going to spawn a lot of very nice photos once it's open.

[DougMJr]

All I could think of when I saw that last photo was "Awwwww Yisssss."

[zachclarke2]

^That's exactly why I included it.

[ChimyChanga]

My new love is almost ready

I don't know if I should go opening day.. it will probably be too crowded.. do you think the weekend after opening day is safe?

[Coaster Curt]

What is the circle in the ground by the turn heading into the lift hill on those pictures?

[Legoguy1395]

 

How much longer before Gatekeeper becomes solid white?

Opening day will be crazy. you could get fast pass but that is your call. the week after should not be to bad.

But a new ride wil bring in a lot of people so the sooner the better. I my self am still trying to find a way to get to media day

[rcjp]

Those pictures just look sweet. I'm guessing gatekeeper will indeed be a very photogenic coaster, specially as it is by the park's entry.

Haha they probably poop all over it

I'm guessing that's what he was insinuating.

[TyRush]

^I know. Just had to state the obvious!

That's where anyone who gives this thing a stupid nickname like "Gatey" or "Keepy" will be swallowed up for eternity.

What's wrong with that? Maggie, Mavie, Millie, Draggie, Gemmie, Mantie, Raptie, Wickie Twistie, Corkie, and Windy need another partner!

^ That post is both wonderful and tragic at the same time.

Could it possibly be a foundation for the ride sign? I imagine the park could install a sign similar to Leviathan's. Does anyone know where the entrance/queue is going to be?

[OISU8P]

^It is a planter

[Voxelmatic]

The ride sign has arrived, part of it is visible on webcam.

That circle in the ground is probably where the sign/ entrance is going to be. In a previous statement, the park said that the queue will run along side the beach and (correct me if I'm wrong) under the station.
