Cedar Fair To Open New Park in 2009! · Quote From what i have heard and im not going to name my sources quite yet, but rumor has it that Cedar Fair is looking to buy the old Six Flags New Orleans Site. Names are still being discussed but heard that the most popular one is Cedar Fair's Recovery Zone. Thoughts? _________________ Top 10 Coasters:  1. Millennium Force  2. Maverick  3. Dominator  4.

As of now the parks future is uncertain. _________________

If it's already destroyed, why would Cedar Fair want it? It's more fun to buy an open park and destroy it yourself. _________________ Always remember Geauga Lake...
