It doesn't have the gold colored letters over it yet (which I'm guessing it will have). You can see the bolt holes even. It's going to be amazing.

Wow, it looks great! Gonna be a great photo op especially with the lake in the background. This coaster will just scream photo ops all around its course.

The entry sign looks really nice with the lake in the background. ^^It should look really good with the gold lettering. I did think it looked a bit dark until I read your post.

Dump Truck backs into Blue Streak

Subtitle of the week.

 

Not really newsworthy, but mildly amusing nonetheless. Get well soon, coaster friend.

 

Definitely looking forward to the finished GateKeeper sign!

Now if only one of these things could back into Mean Streak.

Just RMC that bastard.

I think Iron Horse is only reserved for woodies that really really need it.

And MS is one!

Would THAT many people STILL rather taer down Mean Streak than see what Rocky Mountain can do with it? As someone who never understood the total hatred for MS, I am really excited to see what iron horse transformation could do with this ride. I've never had extremely painful rides on MS, especially compared to the other 2 Curtis Summers-designed coasters I've been on - Timber Wolf and Wolverine Wildcat. It's just not a GREAT ride like people claim it was before the first drop trims were added. For those who complain about the rough ride on MS, you should try Timber Wolf on an average day. I swear the ride is trying to kill its riders. When TW was young it was my favorite wood coaster. It's sad how badly Dinn/Summers coasters age.

 

On a more positive note, WOW!!!!!!!!!! Gate Keeper plaza is looking good.

Nice! From now on there will be one new verb: to RMC!

Given the amount of space the ride takes up, tearing it down and building something new on it's spot could be a better use of the space. Though an iron horse treatment could be awesome as well. Either option would be nice.

 

However, I don't really think either option is imminent. The ride is still in decent enough shape, so I don't think it's demise is a huge priority.

[JJLehto]

Actually I used to like MS!!! It's too tame now. It was always kinda boring but at least it was exciting when it was rough.

I don't want it torn down though. As I said:

Thank you

 

 

Yeah I can't wait for opening weekend. Gatekeeper looks legit good besides just being a wingrider.

[rcjp]

^You're welcome, that seriously made my laugh

[traincrossin]

For you handrail enthusiasts.

 

#GateKeeper queue line is almost finished! #worththewait pic.twitter.com/rcYCiCc6EG

[Tmcdllr]

Is that actual Speed Rail brand railing?

[TyRush]

And that will be all filled up!

[coasterbill]

Is that an additional set of switchbacks on the top left part of the picture?

 

Thank god for Fastlane plus!

[coasterjohnh]

Why do you think they used black top there?

[cmullin]

Wow that is a really long queue line. It is amazing to think it will be all filled up! Thank god I bought Fast Lane+ for when I go!

[azza29]

^^Platinum Pass early entry will definitely be useful as well!

[3Mutts]

Why do you think they used black top there?

 

It isn't, its stamped concrete, it just looks like that because its covered in sand and its wet.
