speedracer Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 This is just too funny not to post, latest from Screamscape: http://www.screamscape.com/html/geauga_lake.htm Sounds like a trip to Cincinnati is a must, quite the party town I imagine being the "Cornhole capital of the World" and all!

bulldogmom Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Now I've seen everything! And they have their own association! It doesn't even sound like fun. I wonder if the winner of a tournament is called The Great Cornholio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Looks like a bean bag toss game by the wikipedia pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwerling Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I seriously cannot believe how many people have not heard of cornhole. Its great, sort of like horseshoes-o wait anyone out of Ohio has probably never heard of that before either. Seriously though it's a great little game, I even have my own Cincinnati Bengals cornhole edition I just got for my birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjeagle35 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Living in Ohio, I can tell you that cornhole is a pretty big game here. I honestly didn't think that Ohio was unique in playing this game and that many have never heard of it before. Its the perfect game for your outdoor festivities, like tailgating for sports events or having some other kind of outdoor party in the warmer months. As for it succeeding at Geauga Lake, it just might, because it is a fun and enjoyable time. If prices are understandable, I think Geauga Lake could have some success with this game.

thecoasterkid Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Ahhahahaha...ACE could take on a whole new meaning! American Cornhole Enthusiasts! Where do I sign up!? Seriously though, I'm going to be taking a picture infront of this new cornhole game in the summer...how can I not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRollergod Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 My family hand makes these things and sells them. for $120 you get a hand made (to official size) (2) boards. Also a set of 6 handmade (corn filled) bags. Each also have a custom paint job! Sorry about spamminbg here but I need these out of our garage.

imbordisux Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Ohio has bean-bags. New York has $600 videogame systems. Culture shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astat Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 As an Ohioan, Cornhole is like...REQUIRED at any party or else the party sucks. Every grad party I went to over the summer (ok...all 3 of them...) had the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete4winds Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 ^^ Cornhole (heeheeheeheehee)...ahem...sorry, carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masked_Maverick Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 This is interesting. I have been an Ohioan all my life and I have never heard of the game Cornhole untill today. I'll give it a try sounds like fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 This is one step above Bocce. And that isn't saying too much. And by that, I mean it's not saying anything at all because this sounds just like a bean bag toss with retarded rules. But whatever. Does this count as another step on GL's road to closing?

jamesdillaman Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I don't know how this will fit in at the themepark, as cornhole is usually played around here in bars. (I live in Cincinnati). Much like other bar games, it's best played while stumbling over drunk, so playing it sober is kind of a let down. -James Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haux Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I only recently heard of this game because I just moved to Ohio. It's so weird that this game is practically an Ohio-only thing. It's not even a regional thing. It's just Ohio. I don't even understand what the big deal is. Horseshoes, beer pong, tossing a beanbag in a bucket 20 feet away -- it's all practically the same, yet Ohio invents its own hick version. And don't get me started on "Sweetest Day" or whatever. This crazy state! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Z Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 They should also add games like Washers and lawn darts. I'm sure I would head out to the park just for that alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though it's a great little game, I even have my own Cincinnati Bengals cornhole edition I just got for my birthday. We have heard of it in Omaha. It is actually pretty big here too, especially during the College World Series. We just called it bags though. I can't to tell my friend who has his own set its called cornholing. That is too damn funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This crazy state! Believe me, it's regional. We have two boards, beanbags and all here at my house, and probably every other house down the street. It's very fun and a must at all graduation parties and family outings. (Heck,we played it last tuesday at a Mardi Gras party). It's seemed to even replace DDR and Guitar Hero as the friday night game kids play where I live. As for its appearance at GL, I think it's no big deal. It's just like all the other games you see in amusement parks like throwing balls into baskets and knockng over beer bottle pyramids (what's more hick than that?). Besides, the name really isn't that funny and this shouldn't be bracking or shocking news. Kevin "some people just don't get it do they" C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffy Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Also you can find corn hole in the north part of Kentucky. I think the game was at every party I went to last year. Kings Island had corn hole at the start of the season over by Days Of Thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatOne Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 ^ Yep. Kings Island had this over by SoB over the summer for a week or two. It seemed like it was there on and off at least twice this past year. I imagine CF might have been testing to see if it would legitimately bring in money. You might as well try it out in Cincinnati where everyone likes to cornhole at each other's houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I saw a Philadelphia Eagles set at Sam's Club on clearance. I just figured it was some beanbag toss game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
