It's going to be some kid of Wong coaster (see wild eagle at dollywood) probably 170-180 feet tall. Will be around the main gate area with some kind of gate keeper theme and will have a bunch of inversions

The new coaster at Silver Dollar City is a record breaker. Announced August 8th titled "Outlaw Run", will feature the worlds steepest drop on a wooden coaster at 81 degrees, nearly vertical. The drop will be 162 feet. It also features the only wooden coaster to twist upside down with a record breaking 3 inversions!
Also is listed as the second fastest wooden coaster in the world. The 10 million dollar investment is hoping for Silver Dollar to be a wild runaway.
:-? I might have to go ride this. When is it being built
The best amusement park builds the best rides. New in 2013: GateKeeper! Watch the video of this winged record breaking roller coaster: http://bit.ly/gkvideo

The skyline is sure changing at Cedar Point right now. Earlier this year, the park has announced the closures of Wildcat (a Schwarzkopf coaster), Disaster Transport (an Intamin bobsled coaster) and Space Spiral. While Wildcat is in a different area, it is surely missed by everyone. Disaster Transport has been almost torn down. While the facade still stands (for now), the ride is being scrapped with few items being donated to the National Roller Coaster Museum.
So....to what you all have been waiting for. Gatekeeper. While Cedar Point had a little "oopsie" on Saturday evening, the official announcement is taking place as we speak (3:30pm EST).
Gatekeeper will sweep over the main entrance of the park and will drastically change the front area of the park and give a better and more open view of the beach area (near Wicked Twister).
The newest addition to the park will be built by Bolliger and Mabillard coasters and is a "wing rider" type coaster with the seating on the edges of the track (like Wild Eagle and X-Flight).
Some facts about the ride:
-Teal track, white supports -64 miles per hour -Double key hole element -170 feet tall -Longest drop on a wing rider -4164 feet long -Will have no B&M roar

The Bolliger & Mabillard roar is it's signature, but people would be complaining just because of how close to the entrance Gatekeeper is. People need to get over it
