Let's start the fusion... owwww, yeah, it's fusion!

^ i agree. Hydraulic is very flammable. What a horrible accident.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Man that was a good one! But that is a totally true rumor! They'll build it at GL, complain about maintenance costs and then move it to KI or Michigans Adventure. At that same time, they'll remove Cornhole and put in a massive Pull-a-Duck and Win! booth. (and yes, i did say Totally true rumor...

Well, we shooting for going to CLP this weekend and still might make a day-trip out of it. Hit Conneaut Cellars for a few bottles maybe check out Cutters if it's still there. If we get there saturday afternoon, I'll look for ya ken if the L'll dipper is running.

Stand Still Dumpster, errr, Top Thrill Dragster gets my vote for most overated.

I can't recall a single rider line either, and i rode X-Flight over a hundred times.

I hate when people ask for an interpretor (spanish) after you ask for their name and they repeatedly say: yo no se? (sp?) Trans: I don't know. You tell they you'll get an interpretor, and then, in perfect english say: Thanks, that'd be great! Press 1 for English! bah! (sure, if you're not in the US, taht's one thing...)

Yeah, if i had the land, i'd have one. 25 foot turn radius! ahhh, someday. here's another RailHead site: http://www.trains-trams-trolleys.com/home/narrow.htm they also full-size trains and cars.

I'm not sure if you guys have seen this, so i thought I'd post it. I want one of these! http://ridingrailkits.com/

My personal favorite in the rumor mill is that Walmart will either buy out 6Flags or Cedar Fair. There are no facts supporting this rumor, except the line: They could buy it, they could buy anything they want. Which is pretty much true.

Don't forget WildWood Waterpark Columbia Station Ohio. (of all the ohio waterparks, this one was my favorite..) A friend of mine went to Pioneer last summer, and he said it was okay for a 'Trailer Trash' waterpark. As far as Dover lake is concerned, Glassman didn't think he was making enough and chose not to open. (most of their money came from Company picnics and such. The place was only open two months a year anyway.) Latest rumor on Dover: Peak Resorts, owner of Brandywine and Boston Mills bought the land and our going to convert into more skiable slopes.

We usually camp there Memorial weekend. Odd, there was no mention of Camperland, which actually showed a profit last year. Ken: Are there still seaonals parked in Camperland, or have they all moved out?

LOL, CP loves fast speeds and TONS of trims! Look at Mean Streak. that sucker has trims on its first hill. (yeah, we all know the reason why, but WTF? Why build so tall or accerlate so quickly if you're just going to trim in less than 200 feet of track?)

A big bbq grill.

The stations around here got smart, they waited til today to raise the prices yet again. B@st@rds!

4762 (they really should go online to sell these. The selling pace is seriously slowing down.)

^he is. He's chillin' with Princess Di, Elvis, Howard Hughes, and James Ruby Oswald. (sorry, couldn't resisit..)

Why does this not surprise me...

Don't bite the hand that feeds.... Why would anyone want someones hand in there mouth??? Other parts, maybe, but not hands.

Prices around me went down about 20 cents a gallon this morning.

Token Count: 4678 as of yesterday. They should've started this last fall. (yeah, i know, hindsights 20/20...) Congrats on making the paper, Ken! Students ponder summer job options if park doesn't open Kiddieland's Little Dipper was the responsibility of ride operator Ken Jones in 2006. He’s hoping it will be again. (VALERIE MYERS/Erie Times-News) CONNEAUT LAKE -- Ken Jones has operated rides at Conneaut Lake Park for the past two summers. By Valerie Myers valerie.myers@timesnews.com CONNEAUT LAKE -- Ken Jones has operated rides at Conneaut Lake Park for the past two summers. The Meadville Area High School junior doesn't even take breaks on the job; he loves the work too much. This year, Jones has been volunteering at the park the past three weekends, hoping to be noticed. "I've got my application in," he said. "If they don't open the park, I'm hoping that I can work at the Hotel Conneaut until (the park) opens." The Meadville High School junior doesn't know what he'll do if the park doesn't open at all. He has been saving money he earned in past years for a family tour of Pennsylvania amusement parks this summer. "I like the roller coasters," he said. Conneaut Lake Park is a major employer of area high school and college students each summer. It employs an estimated 75 to 100 young people, mainly as ride operators and in food services. But this season isn't typical. Park overseers expected to decide this week if the park, or parts of the park, would open this season, and when. The park traditionally opens Memorial Day weekend, but time is running out to raise the $300,000 that overseers said it will take to order food and get rides and other attractions up and running. Park officials had hoped to sell 60,000 commemorative coins for $5 each to pay those expenses. They've raised less than a third of that so far. The park might not open at all or could open later -- possibly for the Fourth of July. "I don't know where else I'd apply this summer," Jones said. "There aren't that many places around here to work." Conneaut Lake area adults sympathize. A number of them and their children got their first jobs at the park. Borough Secretary Betty Sherman's son, now 43, worked for the park's food contractor during his school vacations. "The ferries were still running in those days, so kids could take the ferry back and forth to work," Sherman said. "It made it nice for them." Carolyn Stell of Conneaut Lake's Ardis Dress & Beauty Shop helped pay her way through college working as a waitress at the park 50 years ago. Summer workers in those days were mostly from out of town, she said. "Most of the people I worked with were from the Pittsburgh area. They didn't hire many local kids." Stell worked at the park's sandwich shop from age 18 through 22. She earned 95 cents an hour. "It doesn't sound like much these days, but I got room and board and quite a bit in tips," she said. Stell picked up additional money babysitting for guests at a park hotel. "Everyone who worked in the park had two or three things to do," she said. This year, only three employees so far are on the job handling more tasks than that. They're taking reservations, managing park maintenance and trying to be sure that the park is ready to open -- just in case. Job-seekers aren't the only ones calling to ask what's going to happen, administrative assistant Leisa Leymeister said. "One man who met his wife when she worked at the Hotel Conneaut one summer have come back each year on their anniversary," she said. "His wife died just before Christmas, but he still wants to come back by himself. He called and said, 'You have to be open.'" Students who work in the park each summer hope to help grant that wish. But many seemed to be waiting to see what decision would be made on the park. Leymeister had just 60 applications earlier this week. The park generally employs about 320 workers each summer. Conneaut Lake Borough will have a few jobs at least to take up the slack if the park doesn't open. The borough hires local teens as lifeguards and parking attendants at Fireman's Beach each summer. So far, though, there's been little response to those borough help wanted ads. "We only got two applications for lifeguards," Sherman said. "Maybe kids have just given up looking for jobs this year."

They hired a group to run the restaurant? With what money did they hire them with? Beach club open, restaurant closed, please! Big question here: There are two main people that run the park, right? And neither of these two can run a restaurant? Sounds like the buddy system again. Hey , bobbie, need a summer job??? We'll pay 10 grand for two months work. and, it's all you can eat! I've run several restaurants in my life, and it's not that tough, believe me. the main thing is staying alert to your surroundings. Having 5lbs of cheese stolen by employees is one thing, Having 50 lbs of steak, lobster or crab ripped is another thing entirely. OPEN BLUESTREAK BEFORE THE RESTAURANT!

4245 tokens sold so far. http://static.cnhi.zope.net/flashpromo/meadvilletribune/pdffrontpage/front_page.pdf The park opening on July 4th, though good to some extent (at least it's opening), won't help the park that much. They're losing one whole month of a three month season. I hope they're NOT going to run the hotel restaurant this summer. That was the largest source for them losing money last year. Of the 240k they fell behind last year, 200k was loses from the restaurant alone.

Continued testing after they announce they're getting 3 new sections of track. Though that doesn't make sense to me, it may make sense to someone. Maybe they've watched too many episodes of Star Trek. Scotty: but Captain, she'll break apart! Kirk: BREAK her APART then , Mr Scott!
