The park has once again been Derailed. Hope thing get better before opening day. More here

You should it's always alot of fun free food, free rooms at the hotel, and doing that will get you into places of the park that few get to see and you learn somthing new about the park every day you help. You should check into it. Other news a public forum was held yesturday very interesting things happaned It began with Wanda owner of Stable Pit and Pub speaking. Than it was a guy that was trying to get on the new board speaking. He did say what needed to be done such as smmothing out the midway puting neon on the midway. He also owns a bunch of nightclubs and has expeieriance in the entertainment buisness. Than was a local commisionar than was the pulblic. It was going good but Don (Forgot his last name) was getting all the hits from this meeting because he was saying things that I am not sure is true. So everyone was bashing him. Neither Deshner or Streans showed up for this meeting. Meeting Park Taxes

I have to at CLP but sometimes it might be fore their own good. If they are doing something that could endanger themselves or someone else than you should say some thing.

That is a stupid why make them get rid of the gaurd gate. During off season tat keeps trouble makers out.

I can see why the Bluestreak got this award. It is the same as when it opened in 1938. Same cars same operations. I don't think many classic coasters are still like that.

Well one major thing that would make a community want to keep parks open is tourism. Prime example is Conneaut: It brings in needed money to the community. When Conneaut failed to open in 1995 there was alot of business that closed for good, because they did not generate the income during the summer as they normally would. My neighboor owns a craft store down the road from CLP The Bears Pause and she said that if the park don't openthis summer she will have to sell the store. Also jobs an amusement park can hire alot of people. Every year Conneaut hire about 250 people and if it closes that is 250 people with out jobs. I don't know the size of whalom but I guess they hire about 150 - 200 a year. I can see the benifit of trying to keep the park open. I know alot of you here are spoilled with big amusement parks but some people charish these simple pleasures.

The Conneaut Lake Park Bluestreak has alot of airtime especialy if you sit in the back seat.

Well my grandpa told me he is planning on applying to be on the board. He said things need changing and no one will do it. He hopes to get on the board and help turn the park around. He is someone who is not afraid to get out and talk with people unlike Deshner. He would really be a good person for the board.

No date has been annonced yet. I bet once they figure out wether the park will open or not they will annonce the date.

There is alot of problems in this community right now. Someone posted a sign at thepost office and local grocery stores. About The beach Club owner and The owner of stable pit and pub saying plan be is a bunch of crap.

Another security guard died Jerry one I never cared for much. (From the inside) The park is lossing it's good staff for next year. They are lossing 2 mantmence, a really great geust services worker, and possibly my supervisor. And there is a news artical. Park Losing Add CLP on myspace

Well I did not say it was closing that is just what I heard. I did hear the park is threatning the Comision who passed the law about the condos. I heard from an inside source that Leroy said "If you do not give permision for more than six condos an acre, the park will liquidate and you won't get your money". A bit of sad news one of my good friends I worked with at the park Died. Kevin L. Ball was Conneaut Lake Parks chief security died Saturday after suffering a stroke. I will miss him and he was the only good security guard the park had. Kevin L. Ball

Yes most of the time. Do you have cats?

Mine is the Blue Streak @ Conneaut It does not look as cool as most coasters but It has unique features. A mouse the 06' crew called Streaks he is real cool and pops out of different places. It is halarious when he runs down the ramp and scares everyone in line. Of coures some kids like to try and stomp him.

One everybody should know from Scarface. "Do you want to play rough, Ok let's play Rough. Say hello to my little friend". untitled.bmp Scarface

Hope somthing can change because this is Conneaut's Last Chance. By Jane Smith 02/07/07 — SUMMIT TOWNSHIP — Although they could take no action Tuesday night, Summit Township supervisors agreed to investigate what’s needed to change the zoning ordinance to allow construction of more condominiums at Conneaut Lake Park than is currently permitted — a move which could save the financially-troubled park. Supervisors Harry McGrath and Joel Stone listened to a request by Greg Sutterlin of Conneaut Lake to amend the township ordinance regarding the number of condos which can be built on an acre of land. Sutterlin plans to purchase 3.3 acres of land from the park and construct condominiums, but the ordinance allows only six units per acres. His proposal is to construct a minimum of 31 — meaning a variance would have to be granted or the ordinance amended. He said it wouldn’t be economically feasible to construct fewer than 31. After a 30-minute dialogue between supervisors, Sutterlin, his attorney Bill Gregg, township attorney Bill Walker and CLP court-appointed overseer LeRoy Stearns, the supervisors passed a motion to have Walker “investigate a potential change (in the ordinance) and see what it would take to be approved.” Stearns stressed the need for the change, saying without it the sale won’t go through and the park is in danger of being liquidated. Plans are to use proceeds of the sale to pay the majority of the debt owed by the park and give it the money to open this summer. Stearns said if the proposal isn’t accepted and the sale isn’t done by June 17, “the park will be liquidated under court supervision or by a group of individuals,” referring to a new board of directors. That is the due date of two bank loans totaling $500,000. Stearns reminded supervisors that should liquidation occur, the creditors “would get pennies on the dollars” and the township may not get all the money owed for unpaid real estate taxes. “You have a responsibility to the taxpayers,” Stearns said, to ensure they do what is best for Summit residents. He said the park employs 250 people during the summer; if it doesn’t open, it will mean a decrease in tourism and loss of jobs. Mark Turner of the Economic Progress Alliance of Crawford County had suggested no changes be made until a development plan is complete for the rest of Conneaut Lake Park — which is expected “by mid-February,” according to McGrath. Stearns said Turner has no legal right to speak on behalf of the park. McGrath questioned the true debt, saying it was presented as $2.7 million. “That $2.7 million was not confirmed,” said Stearns, about the figure presented by Turner at a recent meeting. “The numbers should not have been made public until the judge and I saw them. There is a difference with what we have and they have,” he said, noting the park figures show a debt of $2.3 million now. McGrath questioned why nobody came forward sooner about the ordinance problem. Stearns said he only received the proposal in January and was made aware of the limited condominium construction when advised recently by Walker. In asking for the change, Gregg said it serves a two-fold purpose. The change would allow development of high-quality housing and allow Conneaut Lake Park to address its back debt and allow the park to make plans to open this summer. He said the park is “unique” and asked for special consideration. McGrath said, however, the park must be treated like all other township property. He must consider the safety of residents and not allow them to “be piled on top of each other.” Sutterlin said there are other developments across the country which have higher population density codes, including in adjacent Sadsbury Township. If he wanted to build in another section of the park (which is located in both Summit and Sadsbury townships), he could meet the ordinance with no problem, he added. However, he said the lakefront property is more valuable for condominium construction. After supervisors gave Walker direction to investigate what can be done, McGrath said no decision could be made until the March meeting, followed by advertising of a possible change and public input. At the same time, he said he wasn’t opposed to holding a special meeting, if necessary. Supervisor LeRoy Bell was absent.

Currently there are many rumors circulating around the area. I have heard they might not open for 2007 because of a development next door that will cause a major road to the park close. Don't know if it is true or not that is just what I heard. Also If it does open the Bluestreak may not open because it won't pass inspection.
