Yep, price is dropping per barrel but the price per gal. sure isn't--went from 3.49 yesterday to 3.89 today in the Canton area.

I'm not excited either to see a ride that is recycled yet presented as new-guess they figure them dumb southern's won't know the difference

They could give advance notice on ONE SINGLE ride but they couldn't let anyone know they were closing Geauga Lake. Great job Cedar Fair!!!!!!!!!

Stricklers?? I am not from the Cinnci area--could someone please give me some info on this? Cost? location? etc... I am looking for an older style type park ie:like kennywood Thanks!

Yes a thread is being worked on www.geaugalaketoday.com which has most the major items prices. your welcome to see how little they got for some great pieces.

We did show our support--attendance of 700,000 isn't too bad for a small park- Mich. Amer has less but they are still there. Use some common sense, you don't remove rides and expect a park to grow in attendance. Also stuff was being pulled out of the park with in A WEEK!! of closure. You don't open up a phone book and say hey mr movers come move this big giant ride. Parks plan in ADVANCE of everything they do, so they knew. For a company that promotes "Intergrity" and that is straight out of the company employee hand book which I grabbed at the auction on Tues, they sure didn't show any. You guys got jerked around on your Amerciana/Led. Lake closing and that parks wasn't as old GL.. It should have been handled better.

I came to this forum to see if anyone here is aware of the current Big Dipper sititation at GL.. I went to the auction yesterday the BD and RWB was sold for a grand total of $7500. 5000 for the BD 2500 for the RWB. The APEX machine co of Akron Ohio bought it. IT WILL NOT STAY ON SITE!!! I grew up in the Akron area and as some of the posters here have stated, people in this area are VERY PO at Cedar Point for the whole way the closing of GL was handled. I understand that the "theme" this year for KI is something along the idea of traditions and family fun. What everyone up here is so angry about is if it is such a "tradition" why not allow GL to make it to 120 years old (this year) then close the park. Other parks were closed with some advanced warning-little tiny Erieview at Gen. on the Lake and Astroworld are two that come to mind. This is no slam on KI but I can't see much of a tradition in a park that opened in the early 70's. I have been to KI and it is a very lovely parks-with shade and pretty landscaping but did not visit as much al GL due to location-30 minutes for GL vs 4+ hours to KI. I hope you all are not going to screwed over as we were here, but be warned--if stuff starts to be "relocated" and your "footprint" is just being rearranged--make your voice is heard EARLY and maybe you'll save your park. Don't be stupid like us here and believe everything will be ok.
