Gatekeeper Test runs

Raise your hand if you remember having to rely on commercials like this to find out what was new.

And your first POV was your first ride. :)

Now get off my lawn you mangy kids!

What better way to build up the hype of individuals even more by stringing them along! Brilliant!

Patience people....patience. Instead of hanging on the edge of your seat on every post and checking to see if the webcams are up every other minute, why not:

go for a walk, ride a bike, read a book, play video games, watch tv, go to the movies, study for upcoming exams, visit family, there is an entire world out there to explore..... to use up that energy.

CP will release whatever information they feel like whenever they are ready to. There is nothing we can do to change that.

My guess is that once the next batch of info is released, we'll see comments here about how there should have been more info released.... :-|

In the years to come, I would love to see any of the CF parks to try to keep as much a blackout on what is new for the coming year for as long as possible. A throwback to the days when we had to wait for the news media to report what was new a few weeks before opening.....ah those were the days.

For those that didn't see it already there is a new OnPoint.

Beat me by one minute!

*shakes fist at ThunderbirdsMT*

I feel that Onpoint is a result of the whining. :P

Adam, you'll be in Frontiertown with dvo on Media Day. Enjoy. ;)

I have a feeling you are right. Many people just need to learn patience. It will all be worth it in the end and it will be an awesome video!

I remember those days way before we all have computers, smart phones, & i pads. We did not know what the new ride would be up til about a month before opening day via commercal on tv. Also no webcams did not exist at that time to be able to watch the new ride construction progess though out the off season like they know.

Not really sure which GK topic to put this under, so just chose this one. Anyway, this past week I've been in Orlando at various Disney parks and Universal, and I've been pretty limited when it comes to the Internet (I kept myself to only checking facebook a few times) so I've loved reading through all this information. Via Facebook I found out GK started testing, so that was exciting to hear about while I was walking around in 80 degrees weather. But at Universal, my mom was wearing the GK offseason shirt, and a woman and her son came over to us and started talking about it. They were from the Akron area and have been following GK's construction and said they plan on going on it opening day, and they also asked where we got the shirt. So of course we told them about pointbuzz and the off season tour. But I thought it was cool to meet other local Cedar Point enthusiasts all the way in Florida.

Yea that was me and my mom :), although I was on my phone reading the blogs all day. But at the end of the day Hollywood rip ride rocket was just stunning to watch, and I hope gatekeeper looks the same.

Haha well it was nice meeting you and your mom. I couldn't believe we met other Cedar Point fans there, let alone finding out the person we met is on PointBuzz, too. Hopefully you and your mom had a great time.

This alternate Frontiertown Media Day sounds intriguing. We might have to branch off and extend our coverage.

You guys must be real Mavericks to get put back there!

Ok... that was bad. I'm sorry.

I just hope I don't have to pay for any kind of special fee.

The secrets to our 2030 season could be back there...

Amen to that! Those commercials bring back memories! Most of the kids on here don't have a clue what it used to be like.

So almost everybody on here has the patience to wait 2-3 hours for a 2 minute ride and nobody has the patience to wait a few days for webcams/ video. I am confused😄

Here come the new topics...

New topics? same as old. What's going to be removed, what should've been removed and why did Tony take the 4D cranial implant transmitters offline for the testing of the newest ride.

2030? hoping mag lav makes a full integration into roller coasters and they're hitting heights that's well into FAA controlled airspace

As long as Red Garter Saloon is serving, I could make it work. :)

Also, we can get some good views of the best ride in the park back there. And its fresh completed paint job :)

Thats it! Tony just confirmed the 400ft looping wooden roller coaster dark ride!
