Pavers. They saved the old ones, and the concrete is lower than the outer edges. Pavers on their way.

Not at all, just being observant with the webcam, and I'm only guessing. I'm not a park electrician, don't play one on TV and I didn't sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

So what all do they have to do to the GateKeeper entrance plaza before it is fully ready. Is it just concrete and landscaping?

I think they still have to refurbish the concession stands. I don't think any work has been done on them yet.

^^That and finish the station. As well as hook up all the necessary electrical components (lighting, sound, etc).

Looks like they may be enclosing the storage tracks after all. There is now a wall between the storage tracks and the brake run. It's a little difficult to see, but if you catch the webcam when part of a train is behind it, you can definitely see it.

The first of those Gatekeeper entrance logo pieces is going in. Those "gatekeeper wings" that lead up to the main entrance. Also, the shade awnings by the beach on the plaza are in. Another thing I noticed is that they are in the process of painting the gift/photo shop blue. Take a look: https://www.cedarpoint.com/online-fun/webcams

I see stuff that makes me think we might get a fountain after all.

They seem a bit tall for sprinklers don't they? Could be light posts though.

Now that's a sexy sign. Though I'm a sign installer so it's extra sexy to me. :)

I thought in the rendering the letters were gold? Are they leaving it like it is?

It's not done Shawn. The black lettering seems to be an outline for vinyl or for an extruded version of the letters. My money is on an extruded set of letters.

Canada's Wonderland added a countdown clock to Leviathan to keep the dispatch times correct and they've added a grid showing which seats have been checked to the station. Scroll down to the Levithan pictures on this page to see what I'm talking about. I think it's a great idea and I hope GateKeeper gets it.

^ I think that's a great idea! I know that Raging Bull at Great America has a countdown clock in the station above the ride operator, and I always have enjoyed watching it, but not many people know what it is...
