I went to GL the year it was closed. While I enjoyed some of the rides they had there such as Dominator I can see why the park wasn't succeful. Instead of staying smaller family park which was what the main midways appeared to be built for. I could only think how crammed the midways must get on a crowded day. The Big Dipper was one of the better rides there. I didnt see too many places to eat or by gifts but I didn't really look as my visit was only a few hours on a Saturday a sunny Saturday. I was able to ride all the coasters and Dominator many many times. It would have been better left as a small family park.
