4th CP webcam is up! GateKeeper station

What's that mounted to?

MaXair

I honestly didn't realize how steep the lift was until I saw this angle. Wow!

It's on maXair. On the platform on the right side of that picture. You can see where the platform juts out a little bit.

On the new cam you can see where the queue will most likely go under the station. They have the opening framed already and some concrete poured it would appear

Wow. I don't know if it's just the camera or the angle, but that station looks really, really tall.

It's the camera. It's definitely "squishing" the image. :P

Can someone correct the title so we don't have to keep talking about the "Gatkeeper Station"? Thanks to the powers that be.

Damn glitchy keyboard. I can't edit the thread title either.

Is it just me, or does the storage track look like it is in fact going to be covered?

Depends on your definition of covered. Recently, the Cedar Fair B&M's have just gotten flat roofs over the storage tracks with no sides. So far, there doesn't seem to be any evidence that GateKeeper would be any different.

I would imagine it to be covered to protect sand buildup from the beach?

I believe only moderators can modify thread titles.

I meant covered as opposed to Mantis, completely open

Not that it makes a difference, but I wonder if the operator control booth is going to be positioned like:

Wild Eagle's (you can't see it too good in this pic) - http://i.ytimg.com/vi/V8ZP7R7deGw/0.jpg

Or if it's going to be positioned like X-Flight's -http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/02/X-Flight_station.jpg .

X-Flight's is pretty cool and interesting.

It looks like it'll be like X-Flight's.

If you look closely can anyone spot a couple of post's that hung a certain sign. Wonder if they plan on hanging GateKeeper's sign there also.

It'll be like X-Flight's. The animation shows this at the very end. :)

^ Ah. So you can see it. I guess that explains all the height on the station then. :)
