How do they take down a steel/wood coaster when it's going to be scrapped? I hate to see Villian be scrapped. It's a great coaster and will be missed by all people that visited GL. Have they finished taking out Grizzly Run? How many people does Cleveland Scrap have working inside the park? They are clearing out this stuff in a hurry. Has anything happened with RWB or BD yet? I don't think I want to go by the park for awhile until things calm down. I don't want to to see the deconstruction. It's too upsetting to see this happening to my home park.

They took most of the train coaches away. The one that remained was traded to a fellow who bought a bunch of the go carts. The guy from CS said that the signs may be "donated" but i'm not sure to who (historical society i assume). _________________ Somewhere.... whales, dolphins, penguins, hotties in wetsuits, Kieran Burke, and George Millay ....are laughing at Cedar Fair.

It is unfortunately the end of the road for Geauga Lake and I want to 'see it to the end' if that makes sense. I thik since I dont live very close it will give me some closure. I think I am still in denial that it is really happening.

Agreed! Well now I know where they're ending up. I just wanted to know what their fate was, and if anyone saved that cool sign on the station. I've had chances at Arrow cars in the past and never had room for one, but I think I'd make an exception for DL. Would make interesting home theatre seats! _________________ Thanks to YouTube, Geauga Lake will always be open

Agreed... and it would be even better if they were posted someplace prints could be ordered from - and even better if they weren't covered in watermarks. Sorry... I'm stuck working on this scrapbook and taking prints to Wal*Mart with watermarks all over them kinda ruins the scrapbook.

They want the park to be forgotten. They bought the park to close it IMO. Why are they working on the front of the park already? Has the stuff in the back of the park that was bought by Schlitterbahn been removed yet? When I was at the waterpark the other day the bees, scrambler, pirates flight,nets, star castle voyager, tea cups, and ferry boats were still at the park. I wish they would have left Happy Harbor open this season for the water park. We have lost everything and it's very hard to accept.

It sucks they have to close the ride side down, but for what reason did they need to close Happy Harbor down. Those rides could have been left operating this season along with the theater and the simulator. It sure doesn't seem WWK is quite they draw all their research told them it was. The only explanation is that they want to get that stuff out of the way so its easier to unload just the waterpark next year. _________________ 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. In the end the truth will come out and we will then see whos laughing at who.
