The Interpreter Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 While reading the forii at Geauga Lake Today, I found this page of this thread. Some VERY interesting pictures of a fire in Dominator's station, which apparently occurred Sunday last: Scroll about half way down the page: http://www.freepowerboards.com/geaugalaket...-0-asc-315.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 3 possibilities: Fire was set by the park or fire department. (unlikely since deconstruction isn't finished) Fire was a result of a construction mishap. (most likely) Fire was set by a crazy enthusiast. (you're all suspects!!!)

The Interpreter Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 ...but only after an immediate arson investigation, checking out thoroughly the literal host of people with motives and perhaps even a modus operandi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahank Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 umm... HUH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Translated into English: If that thing ever burned, there would be a huge investigation, due to the large amount of insurance, the number of people who would profit from it being gone, and the number of people who would know how to make it go bye-bye. That better? (Modus operandi is Latin for "way to do it.") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I wouldnt mind seeing SOB go now, Its lost its style and loop; So props to the person or people who decide to burn it to the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 This is a place to point out that no ride should be burned, that setting things on fire for profit is called arson and is illegal, and that fires cause air pollution, can endanger fire fighters and the lives and property of others, including the lives of those on the highway as the fire fighters race to protect lives and property. Seriously. . . (and yes, I understand your point, but that still needs to be said...) Particularly during this, October, which is National Fire PREVENTION Month.... Have you had your fire drill yet? Do you know your escape route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TH13TEEN Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 ^^ i like SOB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 ^^ i like SOB You and quite a few other people. And that's just fine. There are plenty of rides I adore that others love to despise. Some day come sit for a spell and I will tell you the story of Rolling Thunder at Six Flags Great Adventure, and the time I rode it 86 times in one day. Most others love that ride nearly as much as many of the posters here do Son of Beast (which is to say, not at all). I also love the Georgia Cyclone, which many, many others believe to be a bone shaking monstrosity. Then again, some here, even, like Ninja in that park. I'd rather ride a Kroger cart down a rocky mountainside! So, yes, that's fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Butcher Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 count me in as one who liked Ninja quite a bit and got shaken rider syndrome on GC! I have told you though interpreter, I will get back on it in another place in the train, before I completely judge it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 3 possibilities: Fire was set by the park or fire department. (unlikely since deconstruction isn't finished) Fire was a result of a construction mishap. (most likely) Fire was set by a crazy enthusiast. (you're all suspects!!!) Just to verify: I did not do it, that is burn it down. I was not near Dominator at 0 hour. I could not do it for you see, I am a roller coaster freak that is plane to me. I could not do it no matter if the ride was good or bad, because burning a roller coaster would be so sad. So the next time you are on a roller coaster and you think it stinks, don't burn it down because it might be my favorite ride in that town.
