Capacity Inversions Fun Harness

Gatekeeper surprised me with how much I enjoyed it, so much that I went back in line for a second ride! Its beautiful setting at the front gate of Cedar Point — which I disappointingly never used in any of my two-day stay — and along the beach only improves what is a very good coaster on its own.

For a 50 year old coaster, Blue Streak gave some unexpectedly good airtime. I was out of my seat during most of the first half, just before the turnaround, which caught me off guard — as I had not anticipated any reminiscence of airtime or G-forces. Controversially, I would rank this as my 5th favorite coaster at Cedar Point, ahead of rides like Raptor, Rougarou and Magnum XL-200. Blue Streak packs a punch for its older age!
