Gatekeeper

Jul 28, 2013

Since I used to live in Ohio, over the years I got plenty of chances to go to Cedar Point and on one of my last visits in 2013, Gatekeeper had just opened. I was amazed at how photogenic it was both due to the location along the beach and its interactions with the path. Here are a few of my favorites from this beautiful ride.
