Geauga Lakes new for 1996 ride will be Carrowinds new for 2009 ride, Ill bet everyone down there is pleased. It will replace Flying Super Saturater which was rumored at one time to be coming to GL for 2008. We all know what CF gave us for 2008 now. Click on the link below and read the July 4th entry. http://newsplusnotes.blogspot.com/2008/07/carowinds-2009.html _________________ 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.

Will they put it up for sale? Glad to see Head Spin get's a new home. I will always remember it as Mind Eraser on the right side of GL by Big Dipper and Superman later in the Six Flags era. I will always remember it. I thought it was fun going backwards.

However, if CF trully wants GL's WWK (lame name) to succeed, they should build something "new" to get people's attention.  That something "new" could be Super Saturator given the current schedule for WWK it could potentially work out. ~Rob Willi

Look at the rdcb.com site... every third coaster is a Vekoma SLC or Boomerang. And they're sll the same. Mourn the Double Loop and Villian... DL was the first double inverting coaster ever built, and Villian was a unique custom design. And they will both be rubble feilds by weeks end.

And what does the WWK mean? Is it wild water kingdom? Plus I feel if they even want a chance of this waterpark to succeed, they have a lot of work to do! Maybe put in a watercoaster or something that would make people want to drive to their park verses people going to their local city pools!

I hate to say this, but WWK will have NO chance of survival (as Soak City will not, either) if the city of Port Clinton goes ahead with their waterpark plans.   It's gonna be BIG!

It dumps water on people waiting in line and they spray water at you from below. I rode it when I visited Carowinds and also Hershey Park has one also. I rode that one in my bathing suit it was alot of fun. I hope it  goes to another park in the CF chain.
