Gordon Bombay Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 While the specifics of the auction have yet to be announced, Norton Auctioneers will be conducting an auction of what seems to be everything left of Geauga Lake. The only description they have provided thus far: Huge Auction of Complete Park! Information Available Soon! It's the 17th and the 18th of JUNE. I wonder if this would be something worth checking out? Source: http://nortonauctioneers.com/upcoming.htm Quote
Cory Butcher Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 The auction is not this month. The auction is scheduled on June 17 and 18. Quote

The Interpreter Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Apparently will probably include Big Dipper and the other two wood coasters, unless something changes: http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/200...mp;Profile=1073 Quote
Beast1979 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I hope that Big Dipper is sold. All I can say without crying. Quote
Tomkatt7 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I'm think I'm gonna go bid on the woodies. It'll be a great way to get some cheap firewood!!!! LOL Just kidding. Quote
Phantom Theater Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 ^Not funny. Yeah,I would hate to see the Big Dipper demolished.I loved that coaster. Quote
FOFirehawkFAN Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Sadly the Big Dipper is not worth being moved and CF seems to have no desire to sell a small area of the park to ACE (the only one interested in buying the Big Dipper and keeping it on site). So it's prob gonna get demolished. Villian is the only one with a good chance of getting saved in my opinion. Quote

Im sure that CF will at least sell it to someone,but not across seas.(I hope)or they could sell it to coney! Quote
CoastersRZ Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Cedar Fair will sell the land and properties to whomever offers them the most amount of money. To be honest, they probably don`t care whether the highest bidder will keep the Big Dipper or not. Quote
KIBeast Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Hopefully someone will buy Big Dipper and The Villain. After that, there's not really much else worth saving. Quote
Phantom Theater Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 ^Double Loop is Well worth saving. From the sites ive seen Ive been told it was a maitnence plauge.I also think we should get El Dorado,on wiki it says those types of rides ar no longer available. Quote
Phantom Theater Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I have a question from my last post on here,If you look at the date of when BEAST1979 post that it says "mar 30 2034",why does it say 2034? Quote
KIBeast Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Perhaps a look into the future? I really don't know I rode Double Loop and I stand by what I said. Quote
