GateKeeper

GateKeeper
GateKeeper is a wing coaster currently under construction at Cedar Point. When the coaster opens, GateKeeper will be the longest Wing Coaster. It will also have the tallest inversion on a roller coaster ever, with a 170 foot-tall drop/loop. The ride will replace the former bobsled coaster Disaster Transport and the gyro tower Space Spiral.

Ride history
The ride was officially announced outside the park's main gate at 3:30PM on August 13, 2012. Planning for GateKeeper began in 2010. On April 24, 2012, Cedar Point leaked details they would spend $25 million in refurbishments for the 2013 season. They also announced opening up the beach, indicating the attraction may be close to the beach.

Ride construction
On July 13, 2012, Cedar Point ordered the closure of Disaster Transport and Space Spiral. The rides closed two weeks later on July 29. On July 17, 2012, the first parts of GateKeeper's track arrived in the park's parking lot. Disaster Transport started dismantling on August 6, 2012, and Space Spiral was demolished a month later on September 12, 2012.
