What was the accurate hint about Gatekeeper other than the leaked plans?

They released photos of the logo along with things to decode. Sure, it spelt out Banshee, but hey. :)

I feel like Jason doesn't know how to keep a secret...or give out hints and that he is still in the learning process.

I've noticed that all the clues given out have been from Twitter...not FB, not the blog. The only other one would have to be the banner from the Coaster Campout. Being that all of it is from Twitter, something that a lot of teens have, could it be a hint itself? Or is it just something to promote CP's twitter, like they did for Windseeker (*scratching head*) on Facebook?

Tony's most recent tweet said he's working on a "verRrrry hard assignment." Why so much emphasis on the "R?" Pirates say ARRRRRR. Maybe he's making reference to Jason's tweet with the old Pirate Ride pictured.. Or maybe I'm just thinking way to hard.

Or, maybe Tony is just going to lunch. Where do pirates eat? Arrrrrby's

I too take all clues with a grain of salt. Windseeker was billed as a thrill ride and Maverick, a family coaster.

I never realized how much space CCMR and Snake River Falls takes up.

Snake River Falls? That's not even in the picture, Skyhawk is. SRF doesn't take up all that much room, nor does Skyhawk. If they tear Skyhawk down even to put in the greatest coaster of all time, I will be completely pissed at CF.

The land that CCMR is on is pretty choice land in my opinion. I don't want to see Mine Ride go, but I love that kind of swampy type land.

I don't think they will be getting rid of Skyhawk. I will be pissed if they get rid of Mean Streak though.

Honestly, you will be one of the only ones.

Skyhawk definitely isn't going to go. I was more commenting on the fact that it takes up little room and is one of the best rides at Cedar Point (including coasters, it's probably my #3 favorite)

I have never been on it, but I have heard a lot of good things about it, i'll try it out this weekend. You're right, probably only Mean Streak Henry and I would be upset.

damn, I haven't posted in here since like eighth grade lmao. anyway, wouldn't it be a possibility to get a dark ride and a flat/coaster?? since wonder mountain was 10 million, that easily leaves another possible 10 million to spend on a ride. Outlaw run was 10 million ;)

Pirate themed Paddlewheel Excursions? Dual-type thrill ride? Mean Streak Cup Holders? Possibilities are endless!

I would miss it (and CCMR) also! However, one reason I love them both is because they are good rides, especially at night when they are walk-ons, and you can get a good ride again and again without waiting.

Mean Steak is always a walk-on at all times of the day. The only time I ever saw a line for it was a day when Maverick was down.

Or on hideously busy days like Halloweekend Saturdays.

Anyone speaking of the demise of CCMR is a blasphemer.

And perhaps a witch.

I would like to thank Tony and Jason for influencing more page views at PointBuzz. I owe you both a frosty beverage or something.

^ lol, right? You're welcome. :)

Fair enough, I may have interpreted your comments a bit off base, which is easy to do on a message board from time to time.

It looks like you interpreted his comment just right.

They are really liking the R's. Rrrreading through some tweets, Tony said he'd be lucky to make it 5 days before an announcement. Said in jest, most likely, but noted nonetheless.

There are markings in and around Point Pavilion. That's largely separated from the Blue Streak plaza shown. Could be a tall ride behind Raptor that would stand up in the shot but not sure where it would go. The markings don't suggest Pirate Ride building since that's on the other side of Raptor's turnaround. There's room for little more than a maintenance road between BS and Raptor at that point so I don't see anything crossing from PP to PR, at least without clever modifications to Perimeter Road and/or BS's structure, or crossing over another ride.

But again, this is all just speculation. The only one on here who knows anything is Tony, and he's not ready to say. :)

Good observations. How about crossing over top of the Raptor loading area, especially if the old PR building was out of the way?

...and when you guys figure it out, let me know, k?
Cuz I still have no idea what's going on next year. #|

I don't go on Twitter but think I got it. I see some car rides area modification or demise...

Over the top of Raptor... I was thinking something along those lines. Gatekeeper on one side of the entryway really has the other side needing some attention. What better than to put the 500' lift hill over Raptor and by the left side of the entrance. Follow the parking lot, turn around at the causeway and come back in. Think we got it now!
