GateKeeper is a wing coaster located at Cedar Point Amusement Park that offers a thrilling and unique riding experience. Standing at 170 feet tall, it features the world's highest inversion, a stunning half loop that starts with a 180-degree rotation as the train dives into a wing-over drop at speeds reaching 67 miles per hour. The ride allows passengers to sit on either side of the train, creating a feeling of flying as they navigate through the air. The coaster's iconic design includes two 100-foot keyhole elements that riders glide through, adding to the sensation of soaring. Opened in 2013, GateKeeper is not just noted for its impressive height and speed but also for its elegant, gliding movements and striking visuals as it weaves through the entrance of the park.
