Cedar Fair Throws in the Beach Towel...

Didn't know Dominator was at KI . -
Why dosen't Dick just SAY that Maverick isn't bringing in the guests that he thought it was going to bring? On the upside, no negativity on GL.

MSN top 10 extreme coasters
Kennywooddude replied to Browntggrr's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Ugh, Superman at SFMM extreme? Since when? Also, having TTD and KK on the same list is like having Wicked Twister and Steel Venom on the list. I can name tons of coasters are are more exciting than that. Im sorry to everyone who likes The Beast but I don't see how it can be considered "extreme". -
The only way you will know that SOB is open to the GP is if you are entering the parking lot and hear the screams of passengers in the rosebowl. I'm not talk about cheerfull TTD screams...i'm talking about screams that only come from someone when their legs are being beat to death by pure German steel.

Geauga Lake 2008 Attractions

The ride side gets a decent crowd in the evening when the temp starts to go down and the waterpark closes. It's nothing new. Ride Side in the morning, Waterpark in the afternoon then back to the ride side in the evening for an hour or two. -
Landscaping on Maverick
Kennywooddude replied to Browntggrr's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
As with anything that CP themes, it will eventually fall apart. I don't see the Water Cannons running much longer...I give it 4 years tops before it's broken and they decide not to fix it. -
Yeah, just like there are only three Beemer Flyers in operation (Tatsu at SFMM, Superman: Ultimate Flight at SF:OG, and Air at Alton Towers), and, strange as it is, they're made by the most popular ride manufacturer out there, besides Intamin. There are 6... Dick did state that he wanted to downsize the park but I don't think he's stupid enough to take out the most popular coaster and their biggest draw besides the waterpark.

Of all coasters...why a floorless? Their hardly being built anymore. It's not like it was back in the early 2001 when they were being built like crazy. The last Floorless built was Hydra and that hasn't gotten that many good reviews.

Even if the it becomes a waterpark, it will eventually fail like every other waterpark in the area. The think about GL was that you got into the ride park and the waterpark for one price. Ride some rides in the morning, then head to the waterpark in the hot afternoon then back to the ride side for a few more runs on Dominator before closing. -
I still don't see why people think that since CF took out two high maintence rollercoasters, that there going to take out a low maintence popular coaster. And what makes you think KI would even get it?

Dick Kinzel interview
Kennywooddude replied to Browntggrr's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Bill mentioned Attendence was up last season despite the shortened season. I think it's pretty good that a park, which recieved 700,000 guests in 2005 with a full season and The Haunt, managed to get 700,000+ for 2006 with a shortned season and no Haunt. -
Geauga Lake 2008 Attractions

People in NE Ohio head to the beaches for Memorial Day weekend, not amusement parks. Me, and alot of other people thought that park did pretty good for memorial day. My friend that for the first time in years, he rode Villain with a full train of people and when he got back to the station, there was an actual line. Even Texas Twister got some talk. Alot of people thought it was a new ride due to the new paint job. -
You just got a coaster this season. The most you will probably get next season is rethemed rides and a waterpark expansion.

Geauga Lake updates!
Kennywooddude replied to mutedarkness's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Then where have the guests gone to? If GL is having attendence issues, their guests (or former guests in this instance) have gone somewhere else. And yes, I do choose KI over GL. And I live in Erie, PA. about 130 miles from GL, but 360 from KI. Kennywood or Cedar Point. If you'd of asked someone here a few years ago if they knew what Kennywood was, they wouldn't have any idea. Now, most people know about it due to their advertising up here. Dick for some reason never mentions that GL had an increase in attendence last season even though the season was shorter. If they Haunt was still an event, i'm sure he wouldn't be so dissapointed seeing as the Haunt was a HUGE crowd bringer.
