Anyone else notice the huge airhill? That looks delicious.

Only Cedar Point! The line will be horrible.
Edit: Statistics show that Cedar Point lost 2 roller coasters, but in my mind they got five.

It'll free up other ride though^. It's such a shame I live in Florida. But BGT is fun. The coaster looks awesome, much more exiting than Wild Eagle at Dollywood.

Quite the contrary, this is going to have a three train operation as it has a MCBR and anybody who's ridden a B&M running three trains can tell you, they eat up people.

I'm so happy to see this! It's beautiful! That's literally my favorite color blue. It's like a dream come true that they're using it. When I design coasters on NoLimits, I ALWAYS make them this color blue to start out with.

The layout is amazing, the location is perfect, the elements are beautiful like the double keyhole...The airhill is a huge bonus, finallly they combine some inverting elements with some hypercoaster elements.

MCBR looks promising for three-train operation, which makes me ecstatic. X-Flight had poor two-train operation. Hopefully this is as efficient as Raptor. I'm so excited to see the official debut, when they release animated videos. Stoked to see the speed, pacing, and read official statistics.

Way to go, Cedar Point and B&M! I hope this establishes a contract that includes more B&Ms at Cedar Point within the next six or seven years!

If this turns out being anywhere near as good as Wild Eagle was then Cedar Point got themselves a winner.

Hopefully will be a lot more reliable than the Intamins... one big reason the lines get so long for them since they break down constantly.

This looks awesome! I want to ride this thing so badly! My dad said he would take me here for graduation (4 years) So, maybe that will be my chance! And tomorrow we will find out if CP is really getting that, what if secretly they're just planning a kiddie coaster, all of you Ohio people will be sad, lol

its very unlikely as those images were found on cedar points website directly. Don' think they would take the time do do that and then pull JK on us.

That is definitely what the ride is. They just screwed up. You could find the link by Googling GateKeeper too.

You freaking crack me up.

I spot two airhills. one before and one after the MCBR.

You cans see the simple yet awesome trains and a few different shots of the coaster!
Edit- Haha, most photos are just snapshots of the mess-up Cedar Point page, but still pretty cool to look at.

I can say it's safe to assume that one side of the station will be for Fast Lane users. Basing on what they did for the Dragster a week ago (used the front halve of the station for Fast Lane). Thus making long lines for non Fast Lane users.

I think this is going to look great at the front of the park. I'm glad they put in enough inversions and also a few airhills in there. I like the Gatekeeper name too, it's unique.

Overall, a new major looping coaster was a need for the park, and I think they definitely got it here. I hope it rides as well as it looks.
