Gatekeeper!

I'm one of those crazy people who loves riding roller coasters! And thankfully, in 2013, Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio will be adding another to the XX already at the park.

With a trip that travels 4,164 feet that includes a 16-story drop, GATEKEEPER will be the world's longest winged coaster. It's called a winged coaster because the seats on the coaster's train are situated on wings off the wheel-track assembly. The winged design givers the riders the feeling of flying.

As part of the design, Gatekeeper's tracks will come to the front of the park and ride over the entrance gates to welcome arriving guests.

I have ridden every coaster at Cedar Point. Coasters are something you either love or hate.

Get a feel for the ride in this video: Gatekeeper Video.  One note, the ride does NOT go backwards as the video implies.

If you need someone to hold you hand on the coasters, let me know.  We'll have a blast!
