CHILLERLC1 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I went Sunday actually. The whole park looked pretty cool. The wooden coaster looks like a fun out and back. It was a biker's Sunday there. The real surprise was walking by the beach. The Beach Club was packed. I found the ballroom site. With it so flat it looks like a good site for a Wild Mouse in the future. I bought tickets for Devil's Den and the Tumble Bug. The Tumble Bug operator had a cool ACE pin. I did pick up a brochure in the park office. Thanks for the advice. I wish the place a lot of luck. It has a nice charm. I'm really glad I went. Now I can say I've been to Conneaut Lake Park, Freestyle Music Park, and Ghost Town in the Sky in their first years back.
FlyingScooter Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 Great news, Ken! We should be there in mid-august for a weekend and i can't wait.

Glad you liked my "cool" ACE pin Glad you had a great time. That wild mouse bit may not be a idea for much longer.
CHILLERLC1 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I came up to the park in 5pm hour Sunday. I knew I wanted Devil's Den and Tumble Bug but that day I thought I wouldn't have enough time and would have to cancel the riding. Nope. With a half hour to spare because I think the park closed at 6 Sunday i made it to the two. Seeing the kiddie coaster open surprised me.

Thank You Conneaut Lake Park Ride Operations As soon as I hear more information I'll post it. --Robb
FlyingScooter Posted September 1, 2009 Author Posted September 1, 2009 That is good news! Thanks for posting that, Robb.
Riffraffrp Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 That sounds awesome. I'm going to plan on being there.
monsterfan99 Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Amazing price for what they are offering. I hope everyone that gets a chance can attend, I would love to see the event a huge success.
Dailey Enterprizes Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Pending registration details I think I'm pretty interested in this. I wish I could contribute more than $11 for the Blue Streak, but me being in college + credit card payments = me watching every penny I spend.
kidcoaster 2 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Thank You very much Robb!!!! I can tell you all that regristration will be all done On-Site meaning you don't have to go through all the hassle with sending things out and Pre payments. The $11 price also includes your rideband. Any thing else feel free to ask. I will have competed information hopefully by Friday!
Big Mike Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 I have a quick question. Is the Little Dipper a coaster that adults can ride usually during park hours or does it have restrictions? Thanks! Peace, Big Mike
kidcoaster 2 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Adults are not allowed to ride it at all during any part of the season. We will exclude that policy for this event only.
kidcoaster 2 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 So does that mean we can expect to see the great Big Mike at Conneaut very soon?
Big Mike Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 I checked my calendar and I am away and busy 7 of the last 8 weeks, and sure enough, your event falls right on the one weekend I have nothing to do yet! I know Blue Streak is closed, but I have that already. Is the third coaster open also? Peace, Big Mike
kidcoaster 2 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Hmm.... Not sure what happened to my last post but No the Toboggan is down for good but you still have the Little Dipper to get and The Devil's Den. I will be sure to find that Red Carpet for you Mike! Can't wait to meet you!
Dailey Enterprizes Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Well cool, I got the day requested off from work and all I have to do is show up with the money. Sounds like it will be fun.
kidcoaster 2 Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I have some info in the link below and as I get more I will add it there www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=244519175061 Thanks!
kidcoaster 2 Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Thanks for the support everybody but due to an unexpected curve ball thrown in this week we have to cancel the event this weekend. We may try to hold it at a later date. We apologize for inconvenience this may have caused.
Dailey Enterprizes Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 ^ Luckily I decided to check the website one last time because I was planning on going tomorrow. It's a shame...
milst1 Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 So what was the curve ball and is anything rescheduled yet? Are there other ways for people to help? I bought one of those commemorative coins a year back or so. I care about Blue Streak; it's the only SBNO I've gone out of my way to visit on a trip. -Martin
kidcoaster 2 Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I am not at liberty to say the Curveball. But we appriciate your support! I will discuss your question next time I meet with the Liskos and I will get back to you. Thank You!

kidcoaster 2 Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 The Hotel Conneaut at Conneaut Lake Park is 108 years old. Said to play host to numerous spirts which roam its halls to this day when they said to have passed away in a fire at the hotel in April 1947. I myself have seen and heard numerous things I can't explain. It looks like something worth checking out and maybe some of you will too!
