It would be great if you would share some photos. I was wondering... Did you ever go to Geauga Lake when it was opened? If so, what was your favorite ride? _________________ Life is like a rollercoaster. It is full of ups and downs!

What I've seen is people post them through a web photo site like Flickr or Photobucket and then insert the link of the photo into the thread and it would appear.   Be sure to put a watermark on all your photos. That's how some people found out that some of the photos from this site were stolen and used to try to sell some of the rides a few months back. _________________ On September 21, 2007, a historic 119-year old amusement park had been secretly murdered.

Congrats... you got the last photo on top of DL's hill.  That's gotta be worth something. Absolutely painful to see what a crimp-claw does to Arrow tubular steel track. Thanks for sharing. BTW: Cleveland Scrap didn't buy the old Caricature stand under Dipper, did they, there's a ton of grafitti in there I'd love to buy. _________________ Positions Held: Ancillary: Front Gate Photo (Cameras In Action) Games - Arcades/Coin Op Ancillary: Antique Photo (Kamman's Art Shoppes) Big Dipper Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNMH9Z8NMFc

It just breaks my heart to see the Villain now and what's happening to it.   Seriously.  I cannot believe I can no longer ride my favorite woodie...ever.

If you would have told me on opening day in 2002 that Six Flags would sell the park to Cedar Fair in only a few short years and then shut down the park after only four years I would have told you that you were crazy.  All we have left now are the memories of this once great park. RIP Geauga Lake

Those are some very sad pictures, but at least someone like you was kind enough get take pictures and share them to us all on Geaugalaketoday.com That was real cool of you to do that! Thanks for the pictures and last seconds of Double Loops life, much appreciated! Also, thanks for the update on the log ride, at least some kind of good news out of all this! It must have been hard for you to help tear down these rides that you grew up around all your life! _________________ (ACFG)Anti-Cedar Fair Group
