  • As is fully evident in this video, the entrance to Cedar Point has forever changed with the addition of GateKeeper - the park's new for 2013 B&M (Bolliger & Mabillard) wing coaster. The station stands where Disaster Transport/Avalanche Run was located and the coaster wraps around to the front of the park and back again sailing high over main entrance.
    Check out the rider cam POV video we posted to see what our first ride on GateKeeper was like: • GateKeeper ridercam on...
    Cedar Point is located in Sandusky, Ohio.

    I, occasionally, watch these theme park and amusement park reviews. Everyone who does these reviews are usually roller coaster enthusiasts and when it's Cedar Point they are reviewing they often say the Gatekeeper is among their least favorite AND that statistics show they are not alone. They say ridership is among the lowest of any of the coasters at Cedar Point. I don't think they are lying since every time my son and I have tried to ride it the wait has been minimal. But, my son and I are always HAPPY this is the case because we happen to LOVE this roller coaster. Frankly, it's my favorite roller coaster EVER and, trust me, I've been on A LOT of roller coasters. In fact, every time I ride it I say that whoever invented it was BRILLIANT. THE very first drop with the immediate inversion is so damn fun plus, no matter how many times you ride it you're always convinced your feet are going to hit the cement part of the "keyhole" openings. I absolutely LOVE this coaster and I don't understand the low ridership whatsoever. Yeah, it's at the front the park and nowhere near most of the other coasters but, imo, this is a plus, not a negative. If you've ever thought to try it but haven't, for whatever reason, you really must. I actually think this one is better for first time coaster riders than even the Gemini despite the fact that the Gemini doesn't go upside down. I think this because the Gatekeeper has a much safer "feeling" with the over the head restraints AND I think the ride is much smoother than most. I think this is a great combination for a first time coaster rider or a nervous coaster rider. It's not boring at all either, not by a long shot. I still love this coaster and will ride it multiple times this summer if Cedar Point is open under normal operating conditions this summer. We didn't go last year because they were making entry sound unbearable. I.E. half capacity on the actual rides and then masks required EVERYWHERE, including ON THE RIDES. On a 85° day, with even moderate humidity, this sounded more like torture to all of us than a good time. Hope it's better this year. We missed our multiple trips to Cedar Point last summer.

    Cedar Fair's CEO said in an interview that there are no other winged coasters on the docket right now for any of their other parks. He also has said they generally work with a five year plan for each park... but sometimes they decide on an idea and it is implemented in just a couple years.

    It's not bias if they just don't like the coasters as much as the ones at other parks. Ask many of our members, Top Thrill Dragster, GateKeepr, and Millennium Force have made many of their top tens. TTD even holds #10 in EastCoasterGeneral's rankings. More than plenty of CF members also have Cedar Point ranked as their favorite park, as well.

  • @mitchellries256
    @mitchellries256 5 лет назад

    It says that Gatekeeper stands on the former site of Disaster Transport only. It doesn't say Space Spiral because that ride wasn't in the way and they could've kept it even after this ride opened. They only took it down because it was old and unpopular. So they figured that while their clearing that section of land, they might as well take that other ride down as well.

Heres a tip for anyone who wants to ride it and avoid long lines; do not ride this before 3pm. The lines will be significantly shorter later in the day. If you ride it later in the day it will almost be a walk-on. Your welcome.

      Not on this one you don't. Its so damn smooth. On older, more rough coasters with loops like Vortex at King's Island, you feel the loops a bit more, but smooth ones like these, you don't. If you're nervous, just close your eyes before you go through a loop 😊

  • @CoolioJoe100
    @CoolioJoe100 11 лет назад

    I'm not sure why your comment received so many down votes. I guess it's because most the people watching this are American or Cedar Point fanboys. I myself am American and LOVE Cedar Point (I'm going there this summer), but both this and The Smiler look like awesome rides, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I personally love the design of The Smiler and think Wardley did an amazing job cramming all those inversions in without making it too repetitive. *steps down from soapbox*

    I feel like if this ride's wing style was mashed in with the upright coaster chassie like SeaWorld Orlando's Manta or Superman, it would change the dynamic of the ride COMPLETELY.
    Half of me is waiting for their chairs to lift back side up. How it looks here makes it seem like the ride's not all that interesting.

    Good lord, whats with the hate on this coaster? Not every coaster has to be "intense" or "forceful". Not everyone enjoys that. I don't enjoy coasters that make me feel like the wind is knocked out of me. I like calm ones like this. Just cause some of you don't find it fun, doesn't mean it needs to be "removed" or "remodeled". Its supposed to just be a chill coaster. Lmao there's plenty of other extreme coasters at Cedar Point. Everyone is allowed to have an opinion, but just cause you don't enjoy a ride, doesn't mean it needs to fit your needs and be taken down. I thought Gatekeeper was wonderful. A smooth ride, with a pretty good view of the park and lake. You really feel like you're flying on this thing. Also, its a lot faster than it looks. I felt like we were hauling. Cameras never do the justice. Cameras manage to make Dragster look slow..
