dare-to-fly Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Lets try this a FOURTH TIME for the benefit of everyone. Lets agree to disagree and move on. I'll have my opinion and it will stay that way--you have yours and it will stay that way! Big deal--move on! Quote
Cory Butcher Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Ah yes, this does bring back a certain memory: Oh...what's the matter Cory? Can't think of an arguement? Thanks Browntggrr, It brings back a memory for me as well. Now, he is the one wanting to move on. Just funny, at least! Quote
dare-to-fly Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Its funny to me that you all are the ones that keep bringing things back up. Just get over yourselves, off your over-confrontational, egocentric feelings, and back on the topic. I think that is for the FIFTH time now. Agree to disagree and move on like any normal person would. Thank you JacksonPKI for agreeing with the idea! Quote
Browntggrr Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I suppose one of these times you will just stop replying (or is it considered backpedaling?). It's good that you are counting though! Incedently... Creating arguments that don't need to be created is not a character trait. If you don't agree with the trim brake discussion, then quit trying to tick the rest of us off! Quote
Cory Butcher Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 He has gone further back pedaling than he ever did going forward with his nonsensical ideas. Quote
dare-to-fly Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Let me help you all out. I think that it has potential to survive as a waterpark if CF wants to take the time to it right. This is still questionable, but only time will tell. We'll see! It's sad to lose the rides at Geauga Lake, and I hope they all find new homes. Thunderhawk is now safe, and Dominator is safe. The rest are still very much threatened. I'd like to see all of them relocated to a new home especially Villain. Whether anyone is a Villain fan or not in here, I enjoyed my rides on it this summer and found it to be one heck of a coaster that I wouldn't mind riding again! Quote
Browntggrr Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I might add that I am always willing to listen to people's insights as long as they are worth listening to. I'm glad I haven't made too many typos or you'd argue with that too! Thanks for helping! Quote

Whether anyone is a Villain fan or not in here, I enjoyed my rides on it this summer and found it to be one heck of a coaster that I wouldn't mind riding again! At this point, it does not look like Villain will be sold. Even if a park would decide to purchase it right now, the work necessary for: the deconstruction, prepping the land, electric, the rest of the minor essentials, reconstruction and ordering and recieving new trains, it would be ready for the 2009 season. That also means after over one year of sitting the value of the ride would drop as well. Not that it is not possible, but, it would be a small miracle for anyone to ever ride Villain again. And some really would not care, it was not one of those rides that you would be willing to drive an hour just to ride it. Quote

CoastersRZ Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Do we know for certain that this is the ride from Geauga Lake? While the description on Celebration City`s website matches the ride that used to operate at Geauga, it also does not state that the ride is used. Quote

DegenRider Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I'd hate to say it especally cause I REALLY liked The villain but the price for scap metal makes it a nice to just sell to the scrap yard and walk away with the cash. Its six flags investment so Cedar Fair makes money any way it goes. Quote

Its six flags investment so Cedar Fair makes money any way it goes. Oh, really? So do you think Cedar Fair paid less for the park and its rides than the park and its rides are worth in property value? A lot of people think that Cedar Fair planned all along to just liquidate its acquisition. I, for one, do not. Quote

RingMaster Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Since Kings Island, Kings Dominion, Dorney Park and Michigan's Adventure didn't state that Firehawk, Dominator, VooDoo, and Thunderhawk were used attractions directly in their press releases or on the official websites so that the general public would know they were, in fact, used rides from the get-go, chances are that Celebration City isn't planning on releasing information that it's a used ride to the general public anytime soon. That is, IF it's actually from Geauga Lake. Quote
KIBeast Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 There's no IF about it. It was the one from Geauga lake. Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 It most decidedly is the one from Geauga Lake. And I agree, I'd be STUNNED if Celebration City advertised that fact. Why should they? Quote
Vortex Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Does anyone know what rides have been sold from Geauga Lake so far and what is left? Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Since Kings Island, Kings Dominion, Dorney Park and Michigan's Adventure didn't state that Firehawk, Dominator, VooDoo, and Thunderhawk were used attractions directly in their press releases or on the official websites so that the general public would know they were, in fact, used rides from the get-go, chances are that Celebration City isn't planning on releasing information that it's a used ride to the general public anytime soon. That is, IF it's actually from Geauga Lake. There were two press releases about Firehawk, a typical fact sheet and one that was all about how to move a ride from one location to another. It was no secret for us. Quote
dare-to-fly Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Does anyone know what rides have been sold from Geauga Lake so far and what is left? Here is the current list as I am aware of it. Ground rides I haven't followed The Villain Raging Wolf Bobbs Big Dipper Dominator--Kings Dominion as Dominator--opening in 2008 Double Loop Thunderhawk--Michigan's Adventure as Thunderhawk--opening in 2008 Beaver Land Mine Ride Head Spin Steel Venom--Dorney Park as Voo Doo--opening in 2008 X-Flight--Kings Island as Firehawk--opened in 2007 Those that aren't marked are in jeopardy.

KIBeast Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 There is also the rumor that headspin may head to Kings Dominion to replace Hypersonic XLC for 2009. Quote
King Maple The Tree King Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 There is also the rumor that headspin may head to Kings Dominion to replace Hypersonic XLC for 2009. Yikes, both of those are pretty bad. An eye for an eye I guess... Quote

JacksonPKI Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Thank you JacksonPKI for agreeing with the idea! You are the first person to ever thank me! Quote
CoastersRZ Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 What happened to Carowind`s Wave Swinger that this ride is replacing? (For those who don`t know, a Wave Swinger is they type of ride that the Zephyr at Kings Island and HallowSwings at Holiday World are. Quote

DarkBeast Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 There is also the rumor that headspin may head to Kings Dominion to replace Hypersonic XLC for 2009. There is another rumor that if Head Spin does, in fact, go to Kings Dominion, it will be fitted with the new, lap bar only, Boomerang train like the one on Wiener Prater's Boomerang. Quote
