The gates have been redesigned. The new ones chew up tickets much faster
than the old ones ever did, and they open and close the gates with
astonishing slowness, without always stopping properly if someone is
trapped between them and at an apparently random interval after the last
person went through.

So chase-the-gates is now more like Russian roulette than the innocent
little game of timing it used to be.

Yep ;))
