So the announcement is Monday at 3:30PM, but the inevitable web developer fail is upon us. As well as the Cedar Fair naming fail, but the ride looks solid.

AHAHAHAHAAH!!! That ride is amazing! The zero-g-roll, through what I assume is some kind of gate, is so cool! Can't wait to go next year! Way more than I expected, way to go B&M, and Cedar Point! I love the drop into the Immelmann as well! Holy crap this ride is hardcore batman! And it's like 190 ft tall! So stoked!

I've been saying all along I wanted to see blue/cyan track. I also said that Gatekeeper was kinda a dumb name UNLESS they made a sick logo to go with it and make it work. The above logo makes the name work I think. And the double keyhole is sick and CP's front gate is gonna be like nothing else out there. I say well done.

As much as I detest wing riders, that looks really good.

There isn't a single thing about that ride that isn't beyond beautiful. I can't wait to see all the great shots we'll see of this ride and somehow they managed to make the name work amazingly with the logo and location (especially with it going over the entrance) and the trains are also beautiful. Oh and double keyhole zero g is epic beyond words. And for all you naysayers about the colors they're the one thing that CP skyline is missing and really go well with the new modern entrance.

That looks amazing! I keep looking at the layout and the first half of the ride look incredible! All I can say is wow, I'm just waiting on the real stats.

If you google Gatekeeper Cedar Point, it looks like it was up until yoshifreak found it XD...Any stats?

EDIT: After doing some research it looks like its going to be 67 mph

Love most all of what I see, including the name and especially the location. Here's hoping the ending is strong too...hard to tell. Props to Cedar Point and B&M though.

Looks incredible. I'm in awe at the colors. That's my favorite color blue ever, and they used it. It's like a dream come true. It looks beautiful. I'm really excited to see more shots and the animated video when they make the official announcement. I'm anxious to see the speed and pacing. SO relieved to see a MCBR, that could spell smooth 3-train operation; keeping my fingers crossed.

EDIT: And looking at the layout picture, there appears to be a true camelback hill after the first immelman! I'm so stoked to see that.

This coaster will be pretty awesome, I can tell. And no I'm not just saying that because this is CP, this thing really looks beautiful!

The (probably floater) airtime hill is sure to give you a really great sense of freedom while in those wingrider trains. And the ride going through the head/footchoppers is sure to surprise quite a number of people.

This is going to be amazing.

That reminds me, I should get back to work with my B&M Wingrider for the Wingrider contest, lol.

Looks good. Anyone else think this is the only time we see that layout on a wingrider?

I am palpably disappointed at this name. It's abysmal...it's as bad as Chinese coasters we laugh at (worse, even) named simply for the function they perform i.e. 'Dive Coaster.' This haze of disgust makes it hard to appreciate anything about the ride, but the layout does show promise.

Should've called it Guardian. At least. Anyways I can't wait to ride this next year!
