Cedar Point recently opened their 16th roller coaster, GateKeeper, and entirely redesigned the main entrance of the park to do it. GateKeeper is the fastest, longest, and biggest drop of any winged roller coaster in the world. We gave GateKeeper a spin during a media preview, and you can check out our full review of the attraction here. To celebrate the debut of the new GateKeeper roller coaster, “Adventures by Daddy” is giving away this embroidered Cedar Point GateKeeper messenger bag. This bag was a media gift from the preview and is not available for purchase anywhere. Continue reading for details on how to enter below.

Favorite coaster is Millenium Force at CP. It’s so smooth with a great view of Lake Erie. Second is The Voyage at Holiday World in Santa Claus, IN. I like the Hulk at IOA, but everytime I get off that ride I feel like a pretzel all knotted-up from the several twists and turns. Honorable mention to the Beast at Kings Island in Kings Mill, OH…A great wooden coaster since the 70s.
I love(d) the Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake Park in PA! My all-time fav as a kid. Gotta love the wooden coasters! The sound of the track cannot be duplicated! Love your FB posts - I’m sorry I am not a Twitterer though or I would love to follow you there too! Thanks for the offer! Looking forward to riding the new coaster at CP! After Disney, of course…
I’ll go wit the first “adult” roller coaster I was ever on. I was really frightened of roller coasters when I was young. I was probably 11 or 12 when my family was at Kings Dominion and somehow my dad convinced me to go on Rebel Yell. For some reason my fear left me and I must have ridden it 5 times. Ever since then I love roller coasters. Liked the facebook page and following on twitter.
For a steel coaster, Millennium Force-hands down is my favorite. For a wooden one, The Mean Streak (but I always need to see my chiropractor after riding it). Looking forward to experiencing some rides out at Knott’s Berry Farms later this year. And I already like and follow Adventures by Daddy. =)
My favorite is Rock n Roller Coaster.
I both Like (Heather T…… F…) and follow (@wdwnotjustkids) Adventures by Daddy.
Until a few months ago, I hadn’t ridden a coaster in over 25 years. So, my favorite has to be Manta or Kraken at Seaworld. They were great, day and night!
My favorite coaster is still the Beast at Kings Island. As far as I know it is still the longest, fastest wood coaster. It gives a good ride with just enough shakes to be enjoyable without jarring you to death.
Biggest drop I will do is Splash Mountain and Expedition Everest. I gave up the big ones a long time ago, but I love watching other people on them. I “like” Adventures by Daddy on Facebook.

Best coaster EVER is Millenium Force especially riding it 51 times in a row without ever having to get off the year it opened while filming the commercial. (Scariest part was the e-stop at the top of the hill and staying there for at least 5 minutes while the ride op laughed at us.)
I have followed you on Facebook and Twitter. You are my new friend

My favorite is Rock n Roller Coaster, but having grown up 10 minutes from Cedar Point, I love all of their classic coasters. I follow you on FB and Twitter!
