Yea using other parks in a company ad is showing off that park but its showing off several different parks.

First of all Six Flags did companay commercials. Cedar Fair does actual park commercials but Cedar Fairs suck compared to Six Flags.

Thats the kind of advertisment that i talk about all the time sucking, needing to do more and better ones!

Back in 2000 when Six Flags was rebranding Geauga Lake to Six Flags they probably had every intention on making this park acheive. Now by making that park acheive they had to open more things which took the park and spun it around and made it a whole new park. It wasn't Geauga Lake anymore, and Six Flags probably didn't want people remembering it like that. So they added tons of rides that i personally thought were great. Now after 3 years of operation under Six Flags, they decide to sell the park to Cedar Fair, which they want to return the park back to its roots. The first year nothing happens, the second year the park adds a major new water park, (actually not that major) ACCROSS the lake not on the same side as the park where it originally was. Then the third year they finally added the second addition and they failed to do that because all we got was the wave pool. Then finally their dream came true the Amusement Park finally closed.

You think that water park is good...I dont see what is good in it at all its very boring. The only ride i would pay the unreasonable price for is liquid lighting but i wouldnt pay that price for one ride that is actually fun. And do you think that the water park is going to be kept up, I personally dont think it will at all, There was nothing new last year and there wont be anything new this upcoming season. And havent you ever seen the attendance drop between 2003 and 2004 personally i think people completley forgot that the park was even around in 2004 because the attendance was way down the next year after Six Flags sold the park. And i was just at Kennywood last year and the park was great...Yeah it didnt have large rides but the flat rides that they have there are thrilling flat rides compared to what Geauga Lake had. They didnt have any flats. And i think that if they wanted to return the park back to its roots i think they should have cleaned up the front of the park and added tons of flat rides, because that was what the classic Geauga Lake had! And yea they did close Sea World because they bought it out so they werent going to be able to keep the name, So yes i do know that, that was definatley not an option to keep the branding names and animals. And do you know how much land Geauga Lake actually owned, It was a HUGE park so it was most likley one of the larger park even though a lot of it was still undeveloped.

The closing of Sew World was not a smart idea and then try replacing it with Shouka and other animals was definatley not a good idea at all. Six Flags tried bringing it into a new generation, they most likley saw a whole new way to make the park good but the company was in a huge dedt so they sold their larger parks and guess what that park was probabaly one of their major parks that could get more profit off of it by selling it. Now I know that when Cedar Fair bought the park they only had a month to advertise a whole new park but they really didnt, they could have advertised as the park was open through the season. So i understand for a bad attendance the first year but then the second year rolled around and you know as well as i know the second season should have been the year that they made their comeback, but they really didnt make a good comeback they added a water park. In Ohio if your park is declining in attendance you really cant try holding it up with a water park...in Ohio. Cedar Fair is known for adding big roller coasters so we all kinda thought that the amusement park was going to continue on with being bid nope they just continue with a water park. And honestley i went to the water park once and in an hour i was bored and this was on the year that it was actually all open. So their attendance now is not going to strive because you can be bored in an hour! In 2003 i went to Six Flags every weekend because we had season passes but that park was always crowded even if it was during the week. Then i went once in 2007 and it was rather boring in the water park side and not to many people were there!

Indeed that is one sad video of Geauga lake. But in repsonse to the closing and why there was no attendance in the background. Who would really want to go to a park that had an old water park that was rotting away and filling up with disgusting water, especially since it was clearly visable on two of the rides that went through that area. Then they remove one of their top roller coasters (x-flight) and then another one brakes down at the last few weeks of the season, then they tear both of those out. So now their already down from 10 roller coasters to 8, then during their last season one rides breaks down and then they never repair the ride so now their down to 7. Now if your a true Geauga Lake lover like I am and tons of others are you would go. But if your not and your just one that wants to ride a roller coaster your not going to go to a park that is loosing their rides left and right. Thats most likley why attendance was down so low.

I dont see how this is still on subject but i will try to get it back on subject so......I think it is great that a historical ride is being moved somewhere and not just being moved into a dumpster!

Please inform the rest of us IChase how you know that TR:TR isnt coming back in future years?

I wish it was coming up here to Geauga Lake but we all know they wouldn't because they just wasted all that money on tearing out all those perfect rides. I never thought it was so bad except for the loop but i usally dont complain about pains on a roller coaster to me there all just awesome!

Every company has their share of misfortune! Its not like Cedar Fair hasnt!

Ha looks like you had a great time i actually just went a few weeks ago. I went to the same parks as you! HRP is awesome its so worth the 50$ though!

Actually the Carousel is actually still at the park under what they call protection but its just a clear tarp that flies ope eveytime there high winds!

WOW THIS IS WEIRD you post these and today my neighbor is leaving for Slovokia today for a foriegn exchange student program!

Yeah i stated this in another post cause i thought that we were posting everything in the diamond back thread! Does anybody know what it was about i had to go !

Hey on Good Morning America will be some news about Diamond Back i just saw the preview you might want to watch it if you can!

They both had parts in it but me and a lot of other people beleive that CF had more to do with it then SF had to do with it. I like though what Whatever6750 said though what would you think SF would have done if they closed it? Just let everything rot away...But yet no one knows what they were going to do, just because their recent sellings of parks doesnt mean they were going to close it...they may have sold it with the company that came in and bought the seven parks that they just sold off you dont know, does anybody i dont think so.

What are you talking about there was so room to expand it was bigger then Cedar Point and if im correct i think its bigger then KI. Plus reasons that they sold was because their CEO was gaining to many park at one...kind of like Cedar Fair buying the Paramount Parks at once. And how could of it been flooded i dont get where you are getting that! And scare villagers away i dont get that either because there was way more people at the park there then there was during Cedar Fair years...i went every year it was Six Flags and i went once in 2004 and 2005 when it was Geauga Lake again and it plain flat out sucked i hated it. I had high expectations when Cedar Fair came in but with the removal of rides to make it a family park maybe you should think about putting in family attractions to still bring in people. Being to big was not the problem it was the company not doing the right things seriously do you think its wise to tear out 2 rides in one year and still expect people to come as much as they were i dont think so. Say an example like Wal-Mart came in and decided to take out all the supercenters and just make them half of what they were do you think the same amount of people would come just to get clothes when they used to be able to get everything i dont think so, or come to get just food when you used to be able to get clothes they just wont come if you do that!

You have a good point damage was made before Cedar Fair came in but when a company is putting so much into a amusment park that is getting bigger and when they sell out then the next company cant come in and just start ripping out things left and right you have to go slowly, which is what they didnt do tear something out but add several family objects but they tore things out and didnt add anything.

How do you know they were going to shut down you dont know what they were going to do no one does its not like you can skip to the future and see whats going on. With this new CEO of Six Flags that park could have been great and couldnt of you never know so stop saying that they were going to cause YOU DONT KNOW! Also the park hasnt been demolished yet the last time i checked there is still stuff there.

So what at least a good company would be owning such great parks, actually i think all the companys would do great!

I said Dominator and a few small flats, i didnt say a correct amount. I said puncuation because back when people were slaming me for not spelling things correct or whatever somebody said puncuation and it was just my spelling that i was talking about. When i was talking about The Interpreter i wasnt refering to you slaming a new attraction. I'll be back later to do some more talking but i have to go !

Good God i really hope they get these parks cause i hated it when they announced the Worlds of Discovery Dubai.

Are you not happy with your freaking Hyper-Coaster? I mean seriously you got Firehawk the year before and now your getting Diamondback and Kings Dominion got Dominator and and a few VERY small flats get over it! At least you are getting something other then your home park being ripped apart! Also if you could be so kind to also use right puncuation you all yelled at me for it. And if you are all going to slam me for being rude realize this your fighting over rides that are coming from a park thats being demolished if it wasnt for Cedar Fair not actually doing such a good job at the park maybe it would still be there and none of the parks were getting any of the coasters that were at Geauga Lake. Im not saying all of you were like The Interpreter, but crabbing at such an awesome ride that is just weird!

Congrats you guys...this looks like a awesome roller coaster and if no other amusment park passes this up i know where my trip will be next year. It looks like a total bad a** coaster!
