i think CF will be out of their outstanding debt by 2013. Their parks pull in a lot of people, and if gas prices go up again people would rather drive 30 miles than 500 to get to orlando

What Do YOU think???????????

This is from what i put in the +Geauga Lake+ thread

Now that i think about it, i think canada's wonderland and six flags fiesta texas have the star shaped shishkamabober in the picture on page 6

I don't think a county would have a town hall first of all, but i don't know if they need a building permit for amusement park rides.....do they?

It's sad that all of these Cleveland-Akron-Canton locals are blaming Cedar Fair for intending to close Geauga Lake, when it is realy because Six Flags overexpanded the place, and they even formed an Anti Cedar Fair Group on the Geauga Lake Today & Forever Forums! Someone should talk some sense into these people!! (Someone is one word, right?)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It looks as if the loop was untouched from its condition at Geauga Lake

isn't that just a star shaped version of Delirium??

i wonder why these Cedar Fair geniuses didn't just move big dipper to KI last year to add to KI's collection of famous woodies

Why in the world would another park chain buy the land? GL is gone and no park or chain has the resources, capital or could receive the financing to build a new park in the same location where one use to sit. Secondly why would Busch whose future and ownership is in doubt build a park on land they use to own? Remember they sold Sea World to Six Flags. Then there is Paramount who sold all of their parks to Cedar Fair. I dont see them deciding to get back in the park business and compete against Cedar Fair on their home turf. Not happening. If the locals wanted a park so bad they should have supported the one that was there. The best use for that land is housing and big box sprawl. I am sure that is what will eventually happen. I was talking about what SECleveland Residents wanted, not the park corporations, and paramount did NOT SELL ALL of their parks to CF, they have a 5-year managment contract with paramount for Gilroy Gardens

I don't think that Geauga County will let Jacobs' "big box" plan go through for many reasons, first of all there are already a TON of shoping centers going up in Baindridge and they don't want to have the same problem they have in Chardon when stores open and close and move around and then there are a ton of empty Giant Eagles and Targets Second the local area wants to see another chain such as Paramount or Bucsh (re)invest in the land, but not overexplode it like 6F did when they purchased the GL property and added 4 coasters and almost 10 flat rides for 1 season. Third Jacobs has been known to sell off his properties (Jacobs Center-Key Tower and Jacobs Field-Progressive Field) [i dont know if this would be a problem though]

The Last Day was in November, but you can order one on http://www.visitkingsisland.com and get your passes processed when you go to the park next year, and if you're getting the same type of pass you had for '08, they just rescan the barcode and you use the same card.

according to WKYC, KD will also get GL's El Dorado Car-Flyer ride http://www.wkyc.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=102738

Exactly....for my cousin in Tampa, no Florida Discount on Disney tickets UNLESS you buy season pass

oh....i see the problem

Thanks forgot to copy/paste!

Don't forget the way it looked in it's final moments (even though no rides or stores were open) http://www.geaugalaketoday.com/A_Final_Goodbye.htm

Go to www.gaugalaketoday.com now it is called geauga lake today & forever, they have photos during GL, SW and SF's existance and photos of the remains plus forums

I'm not sure if it was heading to KI but yestrerday around 2:30 i saw a flat bed truck carrying large metal boards, that looked like something they would use in a loading platform for a roller coaster heading Southbound on State Hwy. 741 in Springboro.

Its true,in 3010,lol.But my friend told me that their takeing down Corkscrew at CP and its going to KI.If it was true they could fit it into King Cobras old spot! Thats hilarious.....A waitress at Tumbleweed on Fields Ertel Road told me about the airport thing

1973, 33 years before CF took control of the Paramount Parks Chain
