Gatekeeper Test runs

Coasterfanatic2012, I thought it looked awesome behind Pinks as well! Awesome job Tony! I guess I can relax now until I get to fly in a couple of weeks.

Great update, Tony! Well worth the wait. Bad thing is having to wait another month to ride it.

30 days til Media Day!

Wow.......that was delicious! I've dabbled in video editing a bit but Tony is definitely in a league of his own! I always look forward to the quality work he does with these pointcasts. Maybe one day, I'll be as good as him.

Now can I be invited back to the media day event?

Thanks for the video Tony! I was having Gatekeeper withdrawal and that hit the spot. Cant wait to ride!! I'm counting the days until I am there may 15-18th. Four days of adrenaline filled awesomeness!

What if they put in another kiddie coaster in the back? There could be anything in the back. Even new boats on Shoot the Rapids! We'll take the back!

Or tony was just getting TTD away frome gatekeeper and nothing is happening in the back at all.

"you'll be in Frontiertown..." because that's where the end of the wait queue for Gatekeeper will likely be this year.

Does anyone know why B&M's brake runs are at a downward angle now? I've been noticing that a lot lately.

Because gravity works easier than kicker wheels. And gravity never breaks!

It all makes sense now

B&M's brake runs have always been angled down. Only thing that's different on the newer ones is how steep. Just about all B&Ms only have drive tires in the station and on the transfer track

Hopefully they get all the fast wheels on and going by opening day. Rain has slowed testing today. Drove out to view it today during lunch and not much going on. Weather could slow things the next few days. I will spend some time out there Saturday again.

^I'm sure they will have the fast wheels on by opening day. Like he said in the video, they're in the testing phase right now and will slowly take the slow wheels off and put the fast ones on.

That part of the video seemed strange to me, as usually more of the fast wheels are replaced by slow wheels as testing progresses, since the early test runs are when there's the biggest risk of valleying.
