kingsislandfan1972 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Six Flags New Orleans, I have always wondered if something will ever happen to it, I would like to see it up and running, but im sure that would take a LOT of work and money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride On_17 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 A very well written and informative article on Geauga Lake. Not gonna lie, reading this made me really sad and emotional but it's worth it, including the pictures. Even some of the comments are interesting to read. http://www.themeparktourist.com/features/20140824/28153/lost-geauga-lake-how-worlds-largest-six-flags-disappeared 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AintNutinElse2Do Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Opryland by all means is the defunct park that I personally went to that I'd love to see rise again. Geauga Lake was planned as part of vacation in which I scrapped that part of the trip something I now regret. So there's now much mystique for me there. Similar situation with Hard Rock Park. However the park that held the most memories for me that is now defunct is Magic World Pigeon Forge TN. While part of the remains of the small park are now a putt putt golf course, it was a place of wonder for me growing up. Loved entering the pirate ship, crossing the suspended bridge past a dinosaur into a Magic World. You could ride a UFO high above the Smokies (simulator) Ride a flying carpet over an Arabian land. Journey through a haunted house or board the dragon train (may not have been a dragon that memory is fuzzy) through a prehistoric world. Plus there several other rides but nothing huge, still I often asked to go there instead of Silver Dollar City/ Dollywood. It wasn't a huge park by any means but that place was great growing up. Edit: seems the suspended bridge entry was also fuzzy memory but for a view of this as well as some other lost attractions see http://www.volunteercabinrentals.com/smoky-mountain-blog/pigeon-forge-extinct-attractions-what-they-are-today/ 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Job 2005 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Geuaga Lake, sometime in the 1970-2000 era. Although I've never been able to go myself, I hear here on KIC all the time that it was such a nice park.

ChainDog Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Definitely would like to visit Chippewa Lake Park because I've done so much art work and research on the park in the past year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaks76 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I've thought that would be neat, too. Ain't much left of it anymore, is there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
