If you have days in June that hit 90 + degrees and the place hits maybe a thousand people, it don't look good. But, in an attempt to keep this light at heart, I'm sure Norton will like to cover it's closing. _________________ >>>>>Feuer FREI<<<<<< BANG BANG!

The water park this year has no crowds and little interest to go because the other side isn't open. If it closes at the end of this season....I wouldn't be shocked. _________________ Katie http://groups.myspace.com/againstCedarFair www.cnajunkies.com/board

Especially when you consider that there has been almost no advertising for it. I have seen more ads for Idlewild than GLWWK. I think that Schlitterbahn will be back in 2009 to buy the water park rides.

Within the next three years Soak City, what is there, will be torn out and WWK's slides and rides will be replacing what is there now. It will be advertised as "The Brand New Soak City"! Bet your money it will. _________________ Katie http://groups.myspace.com/againstCedarFair www.cnajunkies.com/board

Extra charge water park. Based on the past two days - it won't last. This time last year there would be a decent line on Thunder Falls' tube slides. There was nobody going up Thunder Falls most of the day. Katie, I may have to agree with you and Coasterdad. The original Soak City slides are quite dated. Thunder Falls and Liquid Lightning would easily fit in those locations. _________________ On September 21, 2007, a historic 119-year old amusement park had been secretly murdered. Never forget it.

You would need to go in WWK to see how busy the midways are. My guess is that they are extremely packed, its just that not everyone wants to ride those rides. Well at least thats someones opinion. As far as WWK surviving there is no way. CF has already showed that they plan on selling most of the land around it leaving no room for expansion. Plus who will buy land that close to a waterpark? My bet is that those rides are destined for SC and the rest of the land will be sold off. CF wants nothing to do with that property - they killed it, that was there plans from day two. A senile old mans brain is not hard to figure out. _________________ Greed is what caused GL's demise and that just makes me sick. Lets do what we can to rat out Kinzel - hes a snake.

If you count a hundred cars, figure at most there are 400 people. If you see more employee cars in their lot than the guest lot, you place is screwed... _________________ >>>>>Feuer FREI<<<<<< BANG BANG!

We all know how CF brainwashes there employees. Count on anything you hear or read from them as being a lie. _________________ Greed is what caused GL's demise and that just makes me sick.

Also, the magnum is starting to sink because the water park is directly under the ride, so they will probably have to tear down that ride, rip out SC, then replace it with WWK's rides, making (what most people said before), "the NEWW soak city!" _________________ rewind...way before, to about 2004, and talk to Cedar fairs plans for geauga lake for the next couple of seasons and tell us what they say..
