[Dom497Donkeys give me orgiastic scream!]

I am utterly disappointed.

What exactly were you expecting? This surpasses my expectations by a mile!

Same here! I was expecting a whole different layout! This one is a hell lot better then what I imagined!

[downhillMTBI Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

I am utterly disappointed.

Inline Twist > Inversion style drop
Large Loop Element
Airtime
HUGE CORKSCREW
Zero G Roll Through TWO Keyholes
Immealman Styled Overbank Turn ......something new
Another Zero G Roll through TWO keyholes
Brake Run
Twisty Low-to-the-ground layout
Station.

OK....you have me sold CP! This is gorgeous

Agreed, ton of fun features. However by the photos it looks like you'll only go through the keyholes once, the track is behind the keyhole on the way back.

Edit: Although, looking at it again, it does have a "leg chop" (close to the concrete pillars) on the way back.

[JonnyRCT3I wrote the book about donkeys!]

^ Didn't even notice that. This looks INSANE! I smell a Maverick type line all season.

Maybe this means the GP will flock to Raptor and Gatekeeper. Maverick will have less of a line on Opening Day
Everyone will rush towards that thing, this may mean that Maxair and WT will have long lines now, I enjoyed 15-20 min waits for an inverted Hypercoaster and a giant frisbee.

I'm not sure I love what I see of the new entrance. Looks a little plain, but that's just a glimpse I see, so I'll keep an open mind for the final outcome.

The ride however, looks like the first Wing Rider that I would be willing to make a trip to ride. I'm excited to see more.

I am utterly disappointed.

I was expecting something other than a wing-rider. I was disappointed by X-Flight at SGA. That said, I am in no hurry to get to CP for the Gatekeeper. (Yes, I held out that CP would simply fool the public.)

Any estimates on the height? I see 67 mph, looks to be what, 170?

[asimowalkIndiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Donkey.]

I'm a little skeptical that that is the final look of the entrance and keyholes... It has a very sleek modern feel, but still a bit bland.

The coaster looks great! Comparing it to Wicked Twister, it looks like it's around 200 feet (if WT is 215ft). The memo that was leaked said 170. I'm looking forward to the full stat sheet.

PS. Anyone see the irony with the teasers that say "We can't keep it locked away much longer"?

[Lone WandererWhat's with the donkeys anyway?]

Let the Ghostbuster references begin! Epic!

Are you the Keymaster?

Also CP needs to clean their roofs, doubt many people would want to be looking at those much.

[ParallaxDoes Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?]

170 sounds about right. It looks pretty close to Wicked Twister.

[TXman308I teach at the school of donkey!]

Seems to do an X-Flight style dive right after the mid-course. If the brakes don't stop it hard then that element should be pretty intense. Disaster Transport, I'm sorry that you had to go, but for this, I really don't care anymore.
