WOW, all I can say is their plans for Wyandot have changed drastically from what I heard in mid 2006 right around the time of aquisition! I am really happy it is getting a facelift! Obviously what they are actively doing with the Wyandot Lake is completely opposite of what I had heard. They must have decided it to be in their best interest to keep the park and upgrade it than tear it out and implement the plan that I heard of last year. Had I known that their ideas for the park changed I would have obviously left out outdated information! So i am sorry for any panic that I caused anyone and more importantly sorry to have given outdated info! I am completely suprised that the directors did a 180 from what the Wolfe's stated. For the better I guess anyways. Feel free to list those circumstances. The parks are similar in some ways and different in others, you are right, what I was pointing out is that GL is going to be the equivalent of a better Lesourdsville Lake (which of course is up to debate, but GL has a water park and more attractions, and more land). And as you pointed out, the differences are in favor of Geauga Lake staying around. Management is MUCH better due to CF's ownership. This is part of the reason why GL isnt going anywhere, in the next 5 years anyways...alot admittedly can change. Also economically, although GL's area in and around Aurora has suffered, there is still more economic prosperity than there was around LL until the last few years. The weather is one factor that is worse I guess, but for the most part GL should be better off than LL was and that should lead to it being around for some time to come! You are right however, we will see this next season.

Oh, I remember those days, lol! Oh how glad I am now to be mid 80's, now if only I could learn to make a darn birdie I came close two weeks ago! I cant quit just making par

I think he was just uninformed, unless of course Paramount had a park in Pennsylvania...which, to my knowledge they don't! GL will be fine, parks all over have had trouble surviving at a little over 450,000 a year, but GL manages to pull in 700, 000 they will be fine! Heck even ole miserable Wyandot Lake next to the zoo was able to sustain for ever...until of course The zoo decided that a polar exhibit would draw in more money than old Sea Dragon and some water slides! As of now Geuaga Lake is going to be like a souped up LeSourdsville Lake with a water park. And, LeSourdsville Lake/Americana had less to draw with (aside from the history of the lake and Screechin' Eagle) than GL. Also, don't forget that for the last several years from the late 90's to 2002 when it closed for good, the park was in a very financially strapped area. It is just now that 63 is being widened and the 75 Corridor expanded. If LL could do it marginally while pulling in 400,000 in a financially strapped area, then GL can deffinately stay around at 600,000-700,000! And as long as she draws in money, she'll stay!

Don't hold your breath waiting on that to happen... As for the soft drinks, I would love Pepsi products. Now on to the more important issue "BEER". Yes the prices are extremely high however that will never change, people want beer and they pay for it. Nice new rides have to come from somewhere! I personally greatly appreciate your wallet getting gouged to support my ride habit! Drink up! hehe

i see that you decided to post a period! Thats a first! lol Those truly are some magnificent pictures! I actually like the model the most though! You truly are the owner of some rare treasures!

Well too bad Eisner is gone, or Disney Vilains Theme Park could be opening as soon as 2012 But who knows, perhaps Iger will see this to fruition?

Odd, I didnt see Typhoon Lagoon, or Blizzard Beach? Must have missed something!

Sounds to me that people who make brash and not-well-intended posts should lay off the boards! Next time you get a thought like that, please, just let it go

Are you people still not getting it? OMG

You guys have some good points but when we remove her why not do her some justice? BON fIRE!!! i'll bring the weiners! we can have smores too! You know what, lets take out Racer too, it really is old, noone rides it, its never full! We can put in another ride kindof like Italian Job because I love it! and we could put in another topspin just like Tomb Raider, because, I dont think we can have enough indoor themed topspins to movies! as for the parking lot for beast, I love it! there are always problems with parking, so lets get rid of the problem and add more parking. For the Eiffel Tower, the way it sticks up in the park...ugh, like a soar thumb I say! Demon Drop, woohooo! now that would even be better than the Eiffel Tower!

haha this year is weird for me, usually I would have made it to Disney by now :( Oh, how I miss Disney, and Splash Mountain oh, a yah, and KI too!

1. Name change to Kings Island Story 2. History of Kings Island by year or major improvements (whether improvements or not, additions if you will) 3. keep the lucious landscaping, it is a magnificent area in a park that has nearly lost them all (insert IJ:ST reference here) 4. Entertain many for years to come while keeping history alive!

hey just be glad you have a president, if you didnt wed be waking up in the land of the rising sun! Haha I sound like an amvet... I think its funny when people call out presidents whether they are horrible or not, freedom of speech truly is great! I love how we can say what we want...sometimes things are overused though Having an american flag will remind us of a president that some of us dont like? I guess we should remove them from schools to, and if they are at half mast for fallen soldiers, well lets just get rid of them, dont want to be reminded that we have a democrocy and a president, heaven forbid. People that make those types of comments not only have failed ideology but a real serious problem of dilusion, grow up and honor your flag for its whole, not its parts!

OMG enough with the map already!!!!!!!!! When someone knows, we'll let you know, ok? Nothing is gonna change if you just keep asking, when one is found one will be posted, I promise, if not by me, by someone else...

I can't wait to see the finished station and what it will look like!

Didnt someone on here already post the 2007 Brochure? The pictures look the same as what I saw almost a month ago!

Well noone has a problem with Cedar Fair buying pants this year. Lots of employees hated having to buy their own shorts because very often Paramount wanted them to buy a certain type that they couldnt even find, so obviously people just wore what they could find and everyone was mismatched. I was talking to a girl who worked at the park for some time, and either this year or the year before it girls had to have like a 2 1/2 inseam on their shorts, and she said that she looked everywhere and couldnt even find anybody that made nice khaki shorts that short for girls. So it wasnt just that employees didnt have common sense to look alike, but they couldnt always find what they were supposed to have! As for the shirts noone minds wearing all the same shirts either...the beef amongst some employees this year, is that they are just hoping toget a new style of shirt not just the old Paramount ones! They like the cut and things and even wearing them...just not the colors in the past!

Paul, is the chairman too! lol

Im not saying hang it, but have it come out of my wall at an angle, lol. Like they do when they bring the fronts of real cars out of kid's bedrooms on Monster House, or EM:HE!

....How about a Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls-style ride? Maybe we should retheme the Wild Thornberrys ride to resemble Ripsaw Falls. I'd call it NickToons Falls or something like that. Since RF has a Mount Rushmore-thingy with the characters from Dudley Do-Right, NF would have a Mount Rushmore dedicated to the characters of the NickToons (SpongeBob, Tommy, Cosmo, and Wanda). Only here the setup of the ride would be similar to Splash Mountain. You know, where it's just a general romp through the world of NickToons. And it would have the quirky theme song from the Nick Celebration Parade. It doesn't really have a name, but you know what I'm talking about. You know what, I actually like that idea. Im not neccesarily to big on the Nicktoons, but it would be nice if CF could either use that or get a separate licensing and take us into a whimsical fun-filled journey on a 8 minute long Flume Ride, I'd be all for that! Cory, who is Splash Mountain's biggest fan!

That would look eerily amazing coming out of my wall above my headboard with my animal theme in my room! I've just decided, Im bidding! lol, not really, but I can only imagine how great that would look in my room when I get the whole Animal Kingdom idea finished up...I have to strip wallpaper off my walls and I refuse to do so.. so the project is on hold. Besides, I'll be moving out in like three years after college so there is really no point now anyways

We may not even have to wait that long...

You guys really need to quit dissing my ride! lol, its IJ:ST darnit!

Well the uniforms bit, is somewhat worrying quite a few employees of KI. I personally have no preference however, I know that the old KI uniforms are not liked too much by various members of the KI community.

Anyways, its been said over and over again that the park is putting in a "simple swoosh" nothing more, nothing less.
