Got to ride the rocket car and had some frozen whip. Looking forward to next year. _________________ " My Memories never to be erased."

Had a great time talking to him.  He told me many hiden stores about the park.  We talked for about a good half hour or more.  Last year they had one of these for Purtias Springs Park, which was on the west side of Cleveland.  I would have loved to go to that one,  but forgot about it.  I do have pictures of that to share when I come to another met up on Geauga Lake.  Thanks to this group for letting Geauga Lake live in our memories.

You probably almost ran a few of us over when you were parking!  If you saw people in the parking lot waving everyone around that would have been thewave,doubleloop and myself. I'm glad you had fun!!

My only thought on improving it would be to give the tour guides small megaphones. They had some really interesting information but even the ones who were relatively loud-spoken were hard to hear at the back of the crowd (which skews older to begin with, meaning there are probably a few attendees with hearing problems). Hope we are that energetic and active in 40 years!

I had a bad reaction to some medicine that a doctor prescribed to me so I was not myself! The medicine helped my original problem, but I gained other problems. Today is the first day in a couple of days I have been feeling more like myself! I am looking forward to the meet up! _________________ Life is like a rollercoaster. It is full of ups and downs!

It was so much fun working with Elva and meeting a lot of the Euclid Beach "Nuts". We saw some Geauga Lake friends   (sorry we missed you, geuagabob 3) and met some new ones! Hope to see all of you at the get-together. A speedy recovery to you, dsloban! Everyone - plan on being at Euclid Beach Park next September. _________________ Geauga Lake 1888-2007 2008-Forever in our Hearts

Once again, Euclid Beach Now really knows how to run one great event. Nostalgia has great appeal, I hope someone realizes the unique potential that the Geauga Lake property has. http://www.euclidbeach.com/id3.html

The one thing GL still has is a working coaster, I could not even imagine the turnout if EB still had a working coaster. If only someone would realize the potential on that property in Aurora. _________________ GL's demise was caused by one mans foolish greed. In the end the truth will come out as it always does.

Since we are dreaming, in addition to Dipper, Euclid Beach's Racer, Thriller, Flying Turns, and Idoras Wildcat would be a sight to see along Aurora road. _________________ GL's demise was caused by one mans foolish greed.
