Pieces of Park History Preserved:

one thing I will never understand. I get the closing of the park- although with the creative minds and resources that CF has i can't believe that they could not make a park work in a metro area that consisted of Cleveland, Youngstown, Akron, Canton, Columbus, and Pittsburgh all within easy driving distance.

Another is why even after they made the decision to close why they wouldn't open for 1 or 2 more weekends after announcing the "swan song" to get a few more large paydays from the park- all the while offering a bit of goodwill to the residents, faithful and enthusiasts....

CF certainly is above my scrutiny and petty questioning- but I cannot figure that out. in a few short weekends they could have made more money than in the entire auction.

Someone explain that logic. I don't need the symantecs of why close the park- that's sort of an easy one.

So hows the waterpark holding up?

Really, there was no reason not to tell about the dry park was closing for good. You're probably right. They could have opened a couple more weekends and made a little cash. The problem with one of the metros you mentioned (Cleveland), is that their economy is in the crapper and has been long before the rest of the economy got there. Why would a lot of people drive from Pittsburgh when they have Kennywood which is a lot closer? As far as Akron, Columbus, Canton, and Youngstown go, I don't know enough about them to really try and answer that.
