Hmmm....now what was that I heard about WWK soon to be the biggest waterpark in Ohio?

WWK was supposed to add a second addition in 2006 and it never came. We got a wave pool and that was the last addition to the water park. I would like to see WWK survive and make it but with the way they handled GL closure, the auction, removal of auction items during the season, and destroying a park after 119 years, I think it will survive a few more years then close.

I think this is totally awesome if it goes through.  For those of you who don't know, Port Clinton is about 20 miles west of Sandusky, also on the lake.  This would be competition for Soak City, Kalahari resort, and also Great Wolf Lodge.

Monsoon Lagoon? How many more water parks, whether indoor and/or outdoor, does Ohio need? _________________ On September 21, 2007, a historic 119-year old amusement park had been secretly murdered.

Thats why WWK is so stupid because it is only a seasonal water park. I'm good for winter fun...or a multi-season waterpark. _________________ Geauga Lake I will miss you!
