The giant flat spin is going to provide a very unique experience for every seat. This element is perfect for wing coasters. Looks to have a mix of lateral G's, hang-time, and the height factor.

Lake Erie is 9950 sq mi. Flooding is the least of CP's issues.

Well what coasters do you like. You seem to really dislike them. What all do you want out of a coaster?

^Lets not forget the target audience here. The Family. Iron Dragon, Blue Streak, Gemini, Cedar Creek Mine Ride, Corkscrew, Mean Streak etc. They all meet the quota for what they do, the park can't only have high octane thrill machines. Just look at Thorpe, only 2 coasters really stand out of the rest. That's an even poorer ratio.

-Millennium -Maverick -Raptor -Magnum -Dragster -GateKeeper (soon to be) All great coasters. For you to say "Not REALLY" doesn't make much sense. There aren't many parks out there that offer this amount of quality coasters. Maybe Magic Mountain or Great Adventure.

They're near clones already.

GateKeeper seems to be focused on thrilling elements and the sensation of flight, hence all the size of the coaster. It's main focus isn't the near misses, like most other wing coasters.

GateKeeper is another fantastic addition to the Cedar Point skyline!

Exactly. As long as the ride experience is good and memorable. Some coasters are superb, but seem really dragged out (Voyage). But that's also what makes them so great, a relentless action packed ride is something every park should look into.

This looks to be classic B&M design, the forces are going to be there, that much I can already tell. It's really the most impressive beemer I've seen since Sheikra. This just looks amazing!

My Bad. Edit: "Other than being mirrored the only differences are: Swarm has a Inclined loop, X-flight has an Immelman, and X-flight has helix after the inline roll. And I do find them very alike. Swarm -Wing over drop -Zero G -Inclined Loop -Curve -Zero G -Curve -inline roll -brakes -turn -brakes X-Flight -Wing over drop -Zero G -Immelmann -Curve -Zero G -Cruve -Inline roll -Helix -Brakes -Turn -Brakes Very minimal difference. Both cookie-cutter beemers, and both are still great for what they do.
