Those were the fun days! Had plenty of great memories riding Corkscrew, Dipper, and even Villian and Batman/Dom. Those where some great times, wish I could see those days again. I do want to thank Fun time, Six Flags, and such for giving us so many good memories. However, screw you Dick Kenzel and Cedar Fair for taking our future memories away, now when I have kids of my own, they can't share the same memories I had. _________________ http://zerognetwork.com

That park should be run to it's full potential. If CF doesn't have the money to run the rides, then why was the park purchased in the first place? To keep competition away from CP even though we knew that wasn't going to happen.  I'll be damned if I see any of those coasters or rides at Kings Island or Cedar Point.

CF is at falt for dealing with this guy for so long. I blame CF for this nobody else. People say Six Flags, nope sf tried to make this park huge even though they failed they gave it a shot and lost a huge amount of money. I wish someone else would of purchased this park back in 04. Imagine this park with Skyscraper, X-flight, Superman, Serial Thriller, Hyde's, RWB, Batman, Big Dipper, Villan, DL, BLMR, all the other rides, a few new rides added, a musik express, and the monorail. That would be the perfect site. You have to admit the new water park if they added a few more things is a great water park. If only someone else stepped up in 04. _________________ TOP 5 FAVORITE RIDES: 1.Maverick. 2. BATMAN KNIGHT FLIGHT( forever at SFWOA). 3.X-flight( forever at SFWOA). 4. Millenuem Force. 5.

This was the park I grew up in and had my family raised in. Even the orginal owners kept putting money into the park.  Even the last year they owned it.  When Funtime took it over it kept getting better. I lost Euclid Beach, which was hard for me and my wife.  But atleast we knew it was coming.  Other parks just Closed.  Like Meyers Lake and Puritas Springs.   I saw many rides at Geuaga Lake in my years. The cuddle up, FunHouse And wipe.  It took me two years to get my first rid on the BD.  But was it great when I finally did it.  Then there was the wild mouse.  I rode it the first year it was put in.  I got scared the first time I rode it. Put like I said Up to when CF bought it, it always had something new their.  I heard one of the Funtime owners wanted to buy it back But CF got to it first.  Things would have been different. I told my wife that I cannot go by that property anymore.  If I go to Aurora Farms I have to be taken a different way.  I really feel hurt that this happen.  I know when CF got it this would soon happen.  The first sign was Hollow Fest. Hope that the truth comes out soon and Dick will get his.  Next park that will be gone will be KI.  Next year is the last year they have the Smurf contract.  DK just wants CP to be the park for all of Oh. Thank you for letting me rememer
