I never made it, Ken. Couldn't get out early to drive there. We'll hit the P-fest this year, though. I've always wanted to see that. I've never met Wanda. Looking at it from a business perspective, though, it would do her business no good if the park did not reopen eventually. That area can't be doing good without the park this summer.

X-Flight, re-named Firehawk, is being moved to Kings Island in Cincinnati, while the next location for Steel Venom is undetermined, Edwards said. "They were popular coasters, but they weren't the most popular coasters there. We just think they'll be more popular and better utilized at other parks," he said, http://www.cleveland.com/chagrinheraldsun/news/index.ssf?/base/news-0/1175717251159120.xml&coll=4 Why do i think the above quote will be used again? -
Maverick - Is it worth the wait?
FlyingScooter replied to jason10's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ I thought the same thing. I remember 90 minute waits for Corkscrew when it came out. 120 min for Gemini and 60 min waits regularly for the Mine Ride. CP=Constant Patience. -

LOL, but it would look great for St. Pattys day! -
Geauga Lake Discussion Thread

Not being a waterpark enthusiast, I can't speculate on how good or not so good WhiteWater Kingdom is. People have told me that it's better than the old Dover lake park and Pioneer, but that really isn't saying very much. In all my trips to CP, I've never gone to the waterpark. Ted hit the nail on the head when he used the word "disappointed", which is what i am right now. Did Cf ever say why they stopped Phase II for WhiteWater kingdom? -

If two more coasters do get removed, bringing the line-up down to 6, what do you think the admission cost will be? -
Geauga Lake Discussion Thread
FlyingScooter replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Looking it from Ted's satelite pic, it looks bigger than i thought. Maybe what CF means when they say: Traditional Family park they mean, rolling grassy hills, a handful of swings and a teeter-totter. I seriously hope not. Why not announce that Dominators last day is coming and get what money you can that way? Bouncing this off a few people i work with that have Masters Degrees in business and communication, they think maybe CF does not want GL to pull in great figures. Does that make sense to me, nope. But as they said, sometimes business decisions don't make sense to anyone. -

CF yanking two more coasters does not surprise me, I just wish one of them wasn't Dominator. Take HeadSpin, please. Who knows, maybe the rumor I heard a few months is true: The ride side will be turned into condos. All told, though, it doesn't matter what they do with it. Taking X-Flight and S:UE/(or whatever CF called it ), was bad enough. Remove Dominator and i have NO reason to go back. I'll also think twice about going the CP. -

I'd buy a brewery, a bowling alley and become a ski bum. -
Great shots! Fantastic angles. This summer seriously raised the quality bar on pics. Yours are some of the best I've seen.

I've got it! It's a hole, dug in the spirit of frightfest to bury Geauga Dog and what's left of the rides at GL! -
Great TR! I've got to go back to the Smokeys. Best VAca ever. From what I've seen from photos, looks like the skiing there is pretty good, too.

PKI Ride Removal?
FlyingScooter replied to Mind Eraser's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The fact that most guests only go to the water park is quite relevant as far as ripping out more coasters is concerned. ^ I couldn't agree with you more, Ginzo! And while we're on the subject of coasters, why isn't RWB's running yet? -

I like the bathroom idea. Maybe they'll fill the hole with water and put some sharks with frickin' lazers on their heads! -
