Robbie Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 So Geauga Lake hasnt removed Mr. Hydes Nasty Fall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 ^ I think Geauga LAks' has been removed. Demon Drop at Cedar Point possibly has not(depends on if it's been sold or not). Though Demon Drop's days are numbered regardless of if it's sold or not. We probably won't know for sure until the next season begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality15 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Geauga Lake's "Dr. Hyde's Nasty Fall" freefall ride hasn't been removed yet, but it's on the offseason "to do" list parts are going to Cedar Point to be used for spares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalMAN123 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 ^ For what I know, there is only three left. Freefall @ SFMM, Demon Drop @ CP, and Mr Hyde's @ GL. I really hope they reopen Freefall for Tatsu's opening, seeing as I have never been on it. ---Brent 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few in Japan still running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoubraStreet74 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Awwwww.. I hope SFMM's freefall isn't next. For it's height, it really gives a great drop. And I like how it's situated very close to Riddler's Revenge too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Fan Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 1) Demon Drop - CP 2) Freefall - SFMM 3) Mr. Hyde's Nasty Fall - GL 4) Free Fall - SFOG 5) Wildcatter - SFOT 6) Galaxyland (Think this was removed tho) 7-?)

MJHammer1 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 (edited) This board has (happily) not been involved in the rumor side of this piece of news, but now that it is official... www.cleveland.com/newsflash/cleveland/index.ssf?/base/news-28/116418647144830.xml&storylist=cleveland X-Flight is leaving Geauga Lake for another Cedar Fair park. Anyone know what one? Mike Edited December 8, 2011 by larrygator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 So the spokesman of the park which takes down one of it's best coasters doesn't know where it's heading Oh well time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJHammer1 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I wish he would have just said where it was heading. Let's do process of elimination: No Ways: Dorney - New stuff too obvious with Planning Commission Valleyfair! - Building wooden coaster Knott's - Building family coaster Cedar Point - Maverick Great America - Already had one of these! Carowinds - Already HAS one of these! Doesn't Make Senses: Canada's Wonderland - Already has (nasty) flying coaster Kings Dominion - Just rec'd coaster in '06 The Rest: Worlds of Fun Kings Island MI Adventure The parks that are left are odd, IMO. Kings Island seems somewhat close to Geauga but the parks do serve different markets. WOF just rec'd a coaster so that seems odd, too. And MI Adventure still seems like it wouldn't receive a ride of this size, but then again, it is used at this point thus reducing the capital involved. Time will tell I guess, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 According to Geauga Lake Today, this quote says it might go to PKI. He was also able to see who the van belonged to as the van drove away later on and noticed it was from a company called Berding Surveying. First question - why would a company be surveying a fully built ride? After further research we have found that Berding is located out of Milford, Ohio, which is a suburb of Cincinnati. I wouldn't be surprised if Geauga Lake goes away within a few years, not because of attendance, but for cost cutting. Cedar Fair will sadly pull off an "Astroworld" on this park.

Milkchan Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I doubt that it would go to PKI, I think it woulb be going to Michigans Adventure or World of FUn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Canada's Wonderland - Already has (nasty) flying coaster Tomb Raider is drastically different then a Vekoma flyer though. That being said I don't see it going to Wonderland just because there's not a whole lot of room for a ride with that footprint. Makes sense to send it to PKI. I mean nearly all of PKI's roller coasters hurt like hell, so may as well add another one to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I reckon this could be quite a wise move by Cedar Fair. Geauga Lake was saturated with coasters (X-Flight was shoehorned into a car park in true Six Flags style) after they moved in to the park and somewhat foolishly try and compete with Cedar Point. Now that Six Flags have disappeared off the map of Ohio, Geauga Lake desn't really warrant having that many coasters in the park, especially when attendance hasn't been spectacular.

mcjaco Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 MJHammer, first problem with your post, you name non-Cedar Fair Parks. It's certainly not going to any of those, as the article said. I rode X-Flight this summer. I was not impressed. Ops were horrible and the ride was just OK. I can see GL turning into a water park more than anything. Wildwater Kingdom was packed while the Park side was empty. It's sad though, as I really enjoyed the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I *called* this one when they bought the park, but nobody believed me! No one would want to listen to crazy "realistic" Robb say that "It's only time until they start parting out the rides to other CF parks..." Everyone thought I was insane and didn't know what I was talking about.... Honestly, why would it be "sad" if they closed GL? They would move all the good rides to other parks, and it seems like it would put another dying park out of it's misery. Now granted I haven't been there since CF took over, but from what I understand they have kind of just let the park go and it's not really supported by the locals. Have there been any real improvements other than the water park? Seriously, if they got rid of the rides side of the park, and kept it as a "Soak City" would the locals really care? It seems like most of them just go to Cedar Point if they want rides anyway.... Anyone from the area care to comment? --Robb "While I don't see them closing the park anytime soon, I also don't see this park having a long life span in it's current form..."
