First Thing To Leave/Break on Gatekeeper?

Bizarro at SFNE and SFGadv. They both have on ride audio (Who thought it was a good idea to put the speakers facing forward into rain and other weather).

Great Adv no longer has it (Hoo-RAH!) I don't know about NE's.

Rode both Bizzaros about 2 days apart. I hope they remove the box from NE's as well. It really didn't do anything for the ride, was more of an annoying noise.

Heck, I'm partly deaf and the audio bothered ME!! White noise was all it was to me. Not only are the box and speakers gone from Medusa/Bizarro, but the missing two seats in the back row have been re-instated.

I can hear and it was just white noise to me. I can't imagine what they were trying to do with it, but they failed miserably, as far as I'm concerned.

When you all say "white noise" do you mean just annoying background sounds? Because I all I remember from both of them is the speakers sounded like the cones were either cracked or crinkled, all I could hear was half music half static.

Yeah. All I heard was garbled static-like noise. Maybe a word or two here and there but certainly not a distinguishable word and certainly nothing that sounded like music. (Though I am eternally surprised at what other people enjoy as music, so maybe that's how it's supposed to sound?)

In response to the OP, without having read the previous 4 pages, I really don't think anything will go wrong with GateKeeper. It's just another B&M, with a special train. Since no LIM/LSM portions are involved, very little can go wrong. Honestly, the only difference between GateKeeper and Mantis, for example, are the trains. This ride will run fine, immediately, and will not duplicate the problems of Intamin's Dragster or Maverick.

I couldn't agree with you more. It's B&M we're talking about here.
