Yes. hooky, who has to do this to not break a rule! They found my secret wifi antenna and eagle-eye me now!! it's horrible and it's my own personel computer!!!

I am blocked here at work from tweets so what did the tweet say? Did it just say aquatrax?

That was a really nice article from the advicate!! The story from nthe first gentleman almost made you feel like you were back at the park.

It was a great day. even though it was the first absolutly beautiful day of the year we still had 120-140 people show up. Dave set off the event with a nice speech, than turnd it over to Charlie Jacques, an author of several books on parks. He gave a great recolection of riding the big dipper and the entire park the way that he only could! The next speaker was napha historian Jim Futrell about the entire funtimes era that we all went through and enjoyed!! than we heard from Howard Gillooly, who is the current ace preservation director. He had a very nice presentation about what the possibilities are. He shoped how leap the dips in PA. sat for 15 years before being brought back and the area around is growing, even in this economy. There were also some other examples of retail facilaties excelling with old coasters as a centerpeice!! The memorabilia went around both sidesand in the back. A lot of stuff that hasn't been seen in years!!! The aurora and geauga historical societies were there. They even had geauga Dog's head!! I think there were 2 things that I found amazing, first is the wide range of ages that had stories of how they loved the park. One gentleman actually brought a photo album of pictures and picnic passes from the 30's and 40's. It was great to talk to all of the people!! The second was the amount of support from all the people from setting up, getting the word out, the people that set it up spent their own money to do this!! We had some good response and support from the Euclid beach group that is turning into nice relationship between the park's fans!! Oh yeah, by the way, We also had the gentleman who is the contact to the owner was there. He seemed very suprised to see the support we got and he was VERY receptive to the ideas laid out. He was a very nice gentleman who showed us that the person who owns the ride is set on preserving the ride someway and has the ride's and park's interests at heart. It has been a long time since i had so much hope for the situation!! Thanks again everyone for their help!!!!

Thank you everyone that came out on saturday!! It was a great day with a lot of light shed on the situation!! For the first time in a while i have some hope for what is left of the park!!

I can't wait till saturday!! It's going to be great at geauga lake!! Hey that sounds kinda catchy, that should be a song!!!

I hope everyone that is going this weekend to opening weekend has a great time!! Is anyone from here going to the geauga lake meeting next Saturday? I will be going to the meeting on saturday, than going to KI on sunday.

Coasterdad is right about everything to do with the meeting. This is not being done by a big corperate anything. It is being done by people who have spent a lot of their life enjoying geauga lake and the big dipper. It is a bunch of good people who choose to do something rather than just complain. Nobody is making a dime on this(actually people are spending their own money to put this on) When was the last time that something was done good just because it was the right thing to do? I would really appreciate anyone from here to come up and take a look at what's going on. There are a whole bunch of people just like you , love an amusement park, just like you . The only difference is that in week your park is opening, and their's is not. They are just trying to save what they can to share further with their families. I think it is very refreshing to see people do something rather than just crabbing about it. I will be there and am very proud to help this great coaster, along with my friends.

It is really nice to see people doing something to save what is left of the park. This is a very positive way to save the Dipper and remember the history of the park while there still is time left. The event is being done very professionally, with respect to everyone involved! I hope to see a lot of people there.
