People need to keep in mind Cedar Fair is trying to run a business here and with this particular park, if the city refuses to cooperate then CF will need to cut the park loose and cut their losses. It's sad to see any park close. I visited Geauga Lake on it's last season and it just feels weird going to a park to have it close for good a month later. Luke and Joey are correct, the "Fan Zone" seems like a great idea but I don't think Cedar Fair will want any part of it.
