Yes, this Centurion/Gatekeeper, front gate theory sounds plausible. The new giga coaster will definitely be a major front of the park attraction.

So if the name is true, I guess this is Ouimet's idea of a "front gate statement"? And unless the park tears down a few things, it seems kind of hard to make it to the front gate.

That picture was posted here a week ago, and was taken by one of our members.

Good to see Lance continuing to steal from us and not giving credit. Just link to us, jeez. :roll:

And also I have it on good authority that the Skycoaster is completely dissasembled and sitting in the nearby parking lot in pieces. They took it down very quick, I wonder how long it will take to put back up.

If it took a week to take down, it's probably only double the time they have to put it back up. I imagine putting up a ride or coaster is much more difficult than taking it down. The park still has to deal with survey markers and all that.
