                                      the gate I have out, that's

                                      be the "roller-coaster" I have set

                                      the first of them, and you fall
                                      into it. Then it sends you to just
                                      above the next one, and so on,
                                      until you get to the last gate
                                      which puts you back where you
                                      started. It's quite a wild ride
                                      that lasts for about a minute. :)
                                      Anyway, all of them are of the
                                      "check the destination" type of
                                      gate, so I imagine I'm doing most
                                      of it to myself. :) Oh, if you
                                      ever want to try the
