snuggles Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Why don't they sell a couple of rides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingScooter Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 ^With the exception of the BlueStreak, I think they could sell 6 rides and not hit 300k. I remember those tokens though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Nagel Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 This has happened every year for the past 10 years and every year they have opened. I think we all know it's just a matter of time before they suffer the same fate as other have. I'm glad I finally got there after all the years of wanting to.

snuggles Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I really think the man who was going to buy the land, should buy the park. Then he could build more of a destination, and fix up some things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coaster05 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I had a great time there on my last visit and thought the park looked much better. I have also stayed at their motel and ate at the Restaurant and had a good time doing both. If they get the token thing up on their website I will purchase one even if nothing happens. Heck I have wasted five dollars on a lot worse things. Personally I feel that if they were ever really going to do an ACE museum they should buy a park like this, keep the rides and add the museum on site. course that makes sense and we also no the museum is never going to happen.

FeelTheFORCE Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 It really says something about what the community must think about the park if they can't get the local business population to help raise this money. It's not so much that they don't care, as it is that the community is too small to have an amusement park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N'at Man Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I think there's a difference between the Whalom Wales and the Conneaut tokens. Whalom was already a lost cause when wales were sold. In this case Conneaut needs money to open for the season since the future is held up in the courts. Selling tokens won't save the park but it could help get it open for a while. The problem I see is how long will that help if the land sale is held up in the court? Conneaut operates on such a shoesting budget that this may just work to at least get the park up and running for the season. The community came together to get the train and tumble bug going last year so this may work. If the land is sold then the park has a good chance to survive but who knows when that will happen. I really don't understand many of the details of the land sale such as why is only one person trying to buy this prime property and why can't the zoning laws be modified for something so critical to the community. Maybe the new Snow Waters developers should pitch in some money to make their property a bit more attractive. A struggling open park would still look better across the street than a closed down park.

Wes Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Sounds a lot like the "Buy a Whale" last ditch effort that went on right before Whalom closed it doors. I would totally buy a whale. Is it like the Jaws head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Upsidedown Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 The tokens are a decent deal actually, buy one for 5 and go to the park and get a 12 pass. http://www.meadvilletribune.com/local/local_story_114231637.html From the article about the land sale. The park had hoped to sell 3.3 acres of land at the park to Gregory Sutterlin to help pay down the debt and give the park the money it needs to open. That plan fizzled Monday when Crawford County Court of Common Pleas Judge Anthony Vardaro decided against the land sale, offering seven objections. Because it’s a charitable trust operating under court supervision, the park must get court approval for moves like selling land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 They finally have the info on the website now but it looks like they are only taking phone orders. I'll probably buy a couple, for the same reason as coaster05. I can think of a lot worse things to spend $10 on. If I head out to CP later this year I'll swing by for a couple of hours to get some rides on Blue Streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidcoaster Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Deshner told me if they do not get the full money he will open in phases. Starting with Hotel Conneaut and Camperland. Then Kiddyland then the other rides then the rest of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Kiddyland then the other rides then the rest of the park. Open with the hotel first? I wonder what the reason is? Without rides running, i imagine Camperland will be a ghost town except for the seasonal RV's, even on weekends when it's usually crowded. We plan on going their next weekend and buy some tokens.

kidcoaster Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 ^ well the reason the hotel is opening first is because it's ready to go. I stayed a night last week. Kiddyland is far from done but it will take less work than the big rides. I have been there helping out and yesturdayI helped prep the Hotel Dining room for a prom for a local high school last night. Me and George went looking at the damage for a series of storms that happened on tuesday. And A tornado touched down a few miles away. But the only real damage was a tree that went through a bathroom at the Bluestreak Picnic grove. It also went through this shed. Across the tracks Now it has a sky light At least it was not the Bluestreak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dailey Enterprizes Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 ^ I'm glad that nobody got hurt. I hope the park can pick itself up again this season. I would like to visit Conneaut again this summer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingScooter Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 I remember seeing that tree. Like many around the park, they're huge. Glad there was no major damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
