| So Jenn and I went up to Cedar Point for the weekend for my birthday, but we had no idea that the day we went was the same day that Cedar Point planned to reveal their next huge roller-coaster for the 2013 season. They had been planning on doing so for a while, and we just happened to be there on the day of the huge announcement. So I of course had to be there, so at 3:30 we walked out of the park and into the main plaza where they had a huge crowd surrounding a podium full of microphones and TV cameras. I took out my camera and recorded the entire speech about the new coaster, and holy damn does it look awesome. It's called the Gatekeeper, and it's going to be the tallest and longest winged roller-coaster in the world. A winged roller-coaster looks basically like a plane where the seats are hung over the sides so the track isn't actually right beneath you, all you can see if you look down is the ground far below you. The coolest thing about the ride is that it flies over the entrance to the park, so it will be the first thing you see when you walk towards the ticket booths.
