Geauga Lake is dying

[MrBetaKiller100]

when cedar fair got ahold of mia adventure they made it awsome, when they got this, they made it die...

[HeatherandViolet]

This was my first amusement park. When i was there i was little & i remember saying when i get older i want to go here & go on big rides & turns out i have to go to cedar point.

[mommamissi31]

OMG BEN FOLDS RULES!!!! Kudos on the music selection...I miss Geauga Lake!! Its like they stole my childhood...

[fuzzy1416]

:'( why did they do this? Why?

[alexbasketball2]

How could they tear it down. I go there every week to wild water kingdom and stare across the lake and say why. Almost everyone that went there has a good fun meriories. How could cedar fairs just crush the mermories. Well thats about thew only thing left to the park the mermories that everyone had there.

[jumpbacktome]

As hard as it was to say goodbye to Geauga Lake, I'll never stop going to Cedar Point for fear that the same thing might happen to it someday. I don't care who owns it or what those people did elsewhere. It's still my favorite amusement park with my favorite roller coaster, and I'm not about to watch it deteriorate like poor GL if I can do something about it. :(

Any Geauga Lake person who wishes bad things on other parks is just as selfish and mean as Dick Kinzel himself.

[DTYGA]

@Coreee0802 I dout that any thing going to happen to cedar point jus because of there declining attendence. because all they have to do is add some more record breaking rides or jus great ride in genral and they be good

[Coreee0802]

Geauga Lake's closing was is all owed to Dick Kinsel. He is a greedy old bastard. He doesn't want anything that could possibly harm his precious Cedar Point. Cedar Fair intended to close that park from the day that they bought it. Its all good, its all coming back to bit them. Cedar Point's attendence has been declining every year since 2001.

[Cinestrio]

@Coreee0802 Thats exactly when Geauga Lake's (SF Worlds of Adventure) attendance was highest. So who cares. Cedar Point and Geauga Lake, both owned by same company. Make money from 2 parks, instead of upsetting the people. Right? Would you rather make money, or upset the people, thus making people hate your parks, thus making your attendance decline more. I mean did CF even think about it?

[SuperFlashDriver]

@Coreee0802 Man, Dick Kinsel.(Now I hate to say this but, WHY DID HE CLOSE THAT ENTIRE PARK!!!)

[conweber54]

@SuperFlashDriver Because it wasnt doing anything to help their busniess. They couldnt just keep throwing money into the park and not make any profit. Dont get me wrong i miss that park it was great but i mean.. it wasnt exactaly six flags or cedar fairs fault. when the economy became bad geauga was losing attendance left amd right.

[Traggy25]

your steel venom is at our dorney park... a good ride, named it voodoo, then changed it to possessed

[ichbinstark]

Michigan's Adventure got your Thunder hawk. Did it always break down when it was there too?

[summerschoolgrad]

yes it  did bad ride

[cps6290]

thats a damn lie

[IwishIcouldSparklex3]

Well personally I went to GL every monday in the summer (season passes) and i dont think it ever broke down when i was there but yes it does break down alot.

[cps6290]

to tell u the truth, dominator and thunderhawk were the most reliable rides at the park....does it break down everyday now or something?

[cdc9549]

geauga lake was the first amusement park i ever went to ... it was were my parents used to take me every summer for a day "vacation" from the time when i could walk until it turned into six flags (thats when it became overpriced and just dirty). i rode my first everything there! i was planning a day trip last summer w. my mom just for old times sake, and went to purchase tickets ... i was not aware that it closed the previous summer :( soo many great memories.

[Gopedanarchist]

jvg we all new the park was dieing half the rides were closed down and the prices were getting pretty bad. We all knew. Fuck cedar fair.

[ichbinstark]

you know that it's not cedar fair's fault. Why do you think 6 flags sold it to them in the first place?

[coasterking]

Cedar Fair bought GL just to sell it...hense no compition with CP. Six Flags should never of bought GL in the first place.

[ichbinstark]

Ok but you didn't answer my question.

[jvgsjeff]

This video was posted a month and a half before the closing was announced. Sounds like someone had some inside information.

[Marinegirlfriend18]

sorry to hear ur guy's park is closing but carowinds is GETTING HEADSPIN!!! WE CANT WAIT TIL 2009 WHEN CAROWINDS FINALLY GETS A NEW COASTER ITS GONNA BE AWESOME ITS GETTING NEW TRAINS AND ALL YAY!!!!IT WILL BE CALLED CAROLINA COASTER!!

[ChrisBrwnShawty]

lol head spin awesome ride!loved it! not geauga lake is just a water park, im never goin back i liked the rollar coasters

[666mecrazy666]

i miss geauga i went there like every day FUCK CEDAR FAIR

[matters9319]

Cedar Fair owns tons of other parks, cedar point is the cedar fair headquaters, its makes the most money out of all of the cedar fair parks. Besides, Cedar Fair has built 2 hypercoasters over the coarse of 2 years. They're fine, and will be here for many years to come. Wish I could say the same about Six Flags. Selling Darien Lake gave them quite the money, but the poor management probably wasted it for something stupid, or out it in sharers pockets

[Doomsdesire360]

FUCK CEDAR FAIR

[matters9319]

Cedar Point is larger, better ride selection, its the #1 park in America for a reason. Geauga lake is more of a family, fun, and a very warming park.

[ChrisBrwnShawty]

you forgot to metion alot more crowded,like 10x more expensive than geaguga lake,longer waits in line.....shall i cont?

[raven1111r]

while everyone is bitching about which is better -geauga lake or cedar point- let me tell you...cedar points attendance was down drastically this year too! so maybe all of you should quit yer bitchin & go to the park NOW or we wont have cedar point any more either.

nice edit at 3:23-the starngers name thing was good.

[matters9319]

Oh please! Cedar Point is in good shape! On average they get 50-55 thousand people a day!!!! All parks attendance records are down due to economic toubles such as gas prices and inflation. There just isn't enough extra money in an average americans salary to take a vacation.

[t737p]

Arrowdynamics95.. if geuaga lake is better then why did it die while cedar point continues to win awards

[firestriker972]

agreed. Cedar fair was loosing money keeping it open, why would you keep it open if you have to fork out lots of money for a park that only a few people are going to compared to the other of cedair fair parks that pull in millions.

[firestriker972]

Get over it. Cedar point is way better, the coasters are so much taller. Granted the water park could be improved but still...

[coasterking]

Yeah, it could be improved by bringing back Sea World.

[Arrowdynamics95]

Your a fucking bitch.You need to go fuck yourself uo the ass.What would you say if cedar point was closing? Geauga lakes better,the coasters are smoother?Bitch.

[myredrose1974]

Thought King's was doing good. I got to take the kids back this year and ride the Beast.

[silvertone169]

next to be closed will be kings island by 2010

[myredrose1974]

what is wrong with King's Island?

[silvertone169]

it means dick kinzel will close it because it will be too much compitition for cedar point like Geauga Lake was

[beautifullybroken077]

ummm he may have bought it to get rid of the competition but close it??? the money from the park was now his...doubt that's why...but anyways, never know with big corporation people

[Arrowdynamics95]

Um,no.Their building a coaster for 2009,it'd be a waste of money.

[summerschoolgrad]

who?

[Arrowdynamics95]

Firestriker972,what an asshole!

[coasterfanatic23]

It would be even worse if the ENTIRE CF COMPANY SHUTS DOWN!!

[mp33122]

I hope the whole company shuts down so people that loved Cedar point would know how it feels to lose your theme park.

[ToyStadium]

i hope it doesnt. then there wouldnt be any theme parks near me. i feel your pain. i know how it feels to lose someone or something you love. But i love dorney park&wildwater kingdom. (my home park)

[coasterking]

Yeah well if Dorney Park closed down, then you'd know how we feel.

[myredrose1974]

It all started with Sea World.

[slayer1051]

i loved this park. people are so fucking stupid in this world

[lucy1]

its sad to see geaga lake park go, the same fate that euclid beach park, and other great parks in ohio. we need to Stop closing great amusement parks in ohio area , we need them !!!!!

[uluvpink]

Wow I really miss G-L. I graduated in '07 and my school took us there but I had no idea it'd be my last time there :(

I am going to cedar point on the 14th but if I had a choice I'd choose G-L.

[Bx2vids]

ive gone there all my life and now they are closing i wanna cry.... im never goin 2 cedar point now u suck cedar fair

[cookes100]

i wanna cry

[jmz1030]

just like euclid beach, the niggers ruined geauga lake sad sad sad!!!

[myredrose1974]

lol at jmz.

[MyLifeRules76]

Why would you make this before the park closed? I'm going to CP now.

[coasterking]

I totally agree with that closing statement, "Thanks Cedar Fair, for nothing." It says it all right there.

[cedarpoint00]

I grew up going to that park and suported it.

To bad Cedar Fair didn't support us back.

We could have Cedar Point and Geauga Lake. We the powers to be will see this. 119 years wasn't built around a water park. R.I.P. G.L.

you will be missed!

[GhostHunter511]

As much as I love cedar fair, this pisses me the F*** OFF!

[goodrider1]

haha!!! bitch!!! We got x-flight at ki!

[summerschoolgrad]

whats the name of the song?

[enfynet]

So much potential washed down the pockets of the greedy Cedar Point owners.

[Moonpies]

Sad, sad, sad -- and great choice of going with Ben Folds Five for the soundtrack. Kinzel earned his first name with this move.

[mccormackxl200]

I really just want to cry.

[summerschoolgrad]

me to RIP. FUCK THAT WATER PARK

[w8nforthatday]

Sad, but true.
