Comeagain? Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Was rewatching some episodes of Insane Coaster Wars, and in the segment about Gatekeeper, the narrator said "This might just be the most intense coaster ever" . I haven't ridden Gatekeeper yet, but I highly doubt it's the most intense coaster ever. I rode GateKeeper, and it was one of the least intense roller coasters I ever went on. Can I say something crazy? My mom says Gatekeeper is the best coaster she has been on. What about the others? And we've looped back to B&M making awesome coasters, even if they're disappointing to enthusiasts.

Gatekeeper does deliver especially in aesthetics and layout. The forces aren't there, but it is still a great ride. It definitely does look like the best out of all of the wingriders, but I still prefer Wild Eagle.
MagnumFreak25 Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Gatekeeper is still only one of two rides I've ever grayed out on.... The bottom of the loop and Immelman is the only spot with any G's though.
Nwstone Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 I do remember some good forces present on the final helix too
DonGeorge Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 I guess Gatekeeper isn't that bad. It is, like you guys have said, it is still fun and visually entrancing. It also gave me a great reason to go to Cedar Point over Hawaii back in 2013. And visiting in the opening season, it did seem to please visitors. So, Gatekeeper is not as stupendously horrendous as I may have come across depicting it. On the subject of Gatekeeper... (From the TPR Gatekeeper video)

I haven't ridden Gatekeeper yet, but I highly doubt it's the most intense coaster ever. Remember how in that episode, the girls who voted said that Gatekeeper had lots of "airtime"?
Password121 Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 In Maverick's station last August... Random guy: "That is an INVERTED drop" Well, if you want to look at it that... no actually no.
Nwstone Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I get so pissed off when I'm watching a video of something coaster related, and I go through the comments and see people trying to act like badasses. I'll go through the comments and see someone say,"This is nothing I've ridden kingda ka it's ten times worse than this." I just get so mad when I see something like this. Then everyone goes out of their way to say that their home park is the best and all the others suck. " CP is the best, no SFMM is better, Oh yeah, well KD takes a giant crap on both of them." Do people realize that there are other parks out there besides the closest one to them? If you haven't already seen it watch the video where Kevin Hart and Jimmy Fallon ride Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit and read through the comments, there are enough stupid comments there to supply a years worth of material for this board.

Thanks for bringing that up. I just looked it up, and these are just a few of the dumb comments I read... -Please, that was pathetic That roller coaster was woosie. That isn't even scream level at six flags. -if been through worse why look up the goliath on 6 flags greats america and im only 12 when i rode it. -1:55 WTF is there like a TV strapped to the chair? -Everytime i go to a roller coaster i think i'm gonna die, but sure i'm not like them xD -I am 9 and I went on that roller coaster and I wasn't scared -this roller coaster is nothing like kingda ka six flags new jersey Edited December 29, 2014 by VF15
GCI Wooden Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 -I am 9 and I went on that roller coaster and I wasn't scared Why is a nine year old on Youtube, isn't that illegal? Also, I've realized that people forget how to spell and use correct grammar whenever they comment on Youtube, this annoys me as well. Youtube is the place to go if you want to see stupid stuff. Also, FACEBOOK is ridiculous, people complain about the Fast Lane system all the time and it's really annoying.

Especially when 12 year olds are boasting about rides that are made for kids as young as 6.
gerstlaueringvar Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Ellen riding Incredible Hulk videos are gold mines.
VF15 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Some more dumb YouTube comments I found watching coaster videos: -YOUR WRONG! THE TOP THRILL IS TALLER THEN KINGDA KA! TOP THRILL IS 486 FEET TALL! KINGDA KA IS ONLY 378 -Well we're all going to die someday why not on a rollercoster -Nearly died on the Vortex in California's Great America. The bar that comes over your head did not latch do to my rotund size. The ride attended pulled at the bar sideways (not up and down) to check if it latched and gave the ride operator the "thumbs up" sign. The ride started and my sister watch in horror (from the line to get on) as I swung the bar up and down as the ride moved to the top of the first fall, Some how I swung it hard enough just as the ride crested the top to latch it. The whole time up to the top I contemplated where I could jump that would at least be survivable... Luckily I never had to find out. -So you'll be trying to enjoy food while hearing teenagers scream their lungs out every minute? Who's the idiotic architect that designed this!? -On a Fury 325 video: Why can't a coaster like this be at Canadas Wonderland?
Uriel Galindo Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 At my homepark (La Ronde) there's an SLC (Ëdnor) and a Batman the ride clone (Le Vampire) and one time at school I told one of my friends that Le Vampire is WAY better than Ëdnor and then he stared at me in a really weird way and he told me that Ëdnor is better because its scarier and you feel like if your legs are going to be choped off.
GCI Wooden Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 you feel like if your legs are going to be choped off. Some people enjoy strange sensations.
Uriel Galindo Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 you feel like if your legs are going to be choped off. Some people enjoy strange sensations. Yes lol
KingRCT3 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 you feel like if your legs are going to be choped off. Some people enjoy strange sensations. Don't we all love near-misses and head/footchoppers elements?

Don't we all love near-misses and head/footchoppers elements? Yeah but the point is that he prefers riding a Vekoma slc than riding a Batman the ride clone
KingRCT3 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Yeah of course there is no point of comparison between those rides. But that argument is actually legit, even if less significant for the most of us.
Paradox Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Didn't someone lose their feet in a rollercoaster accident?
DonGeorge Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 ^I recall hearing that a test dummy got its limbs ripped off while on The Swarm.
Projektion Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 ^^ Not that I recall, though there was the girl who had one (or both? I can't remember the details) of her feet amputated after a cable snap on a drop tower.

A cable snapped, and then whipped around and severed the girl's feet.
