While not an official announcement yet we all know what happened with the rumors of GL closing. I would bet that this is really going to happen given CF's track record. Spread the word, maybe we can gather support from them with GL. http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=46047&highlight=Star+Trek+Experience _________________ Greed is what caused GL's demise and that just makes me sick. Lets do what we can to rat out Kinzel - hes a snake. In the end the truth will come out and we will then see whos laughing at who.

Kind of funny you didn't tell your friends to make their last visit. Or was that just another one of your lies?? _________________ Where are you May 10th?!?

So then how come everyone was in total shock on this website when it was announced? Oh and I also love how you say on Pointbuzz, that Jeff and Walt's complete silence to the matter clinched it for you. Why do they have to speak out about it when you can't either? But it doesn't really matter because they didn't know and neither did you. _________________ Where are you May 10th?!?

Its just the fact that everyone already knows but in typical CF fashion they will not announce it. _________________ Greed is what caused GL's demise and that just makes me sick.

But it doesn't really matter because they didn't know and neither did you. Actually, he did tell. Wharfier heard it from him and told me, but I did not think that CF would be that stupid. After all, we went to GL many times during the 07 season and it was much busier than 06. Also CF kept saying that they would be there in 08. I asked directly. What CF did not say was that it would be as a water park only. Were we shocked? Yes. I never thought that a business would risk it's good will with such a stupid lie. They lost me as a customer. And many others. I know of at least one union that will not be going to CP for their family day.

Including Coasterdad! Now why would he do that if he knew about the closing back in May?? _________________ Where are you May 10th?!?

According to the Trekkies, on that site, it was a cool exhibit. I'm sure a bunch of trekkies won't like the situation but it's for the best I guess. _________________ 2008 - Mantis Crew 2007 - Rocket Sled Ride ATL 2006 - Dominator Crew

Star Trek the Experience is not owned by Cedar Fair. It is managed by Cedar Fair, similar to the management contract previously held to run Camp Snoopy at Mall Of America. Cedar Fair opted not to renew the Camp Snoopy contract, and the owners later turned it into Nick Universe. Life went on. Whether or not Cedar Fair renews their contract to manage Star Trek has little do to with whether Star Trek continues to operate.

Kind of unlucky timing, a new Star Trek movie is due in May 2009, it was originally scheduled for December 2008, might have provided a boost in 2009.   http://trekmovie.com/2008/05/02/future-of-star-trek-the-experience-in-doubt/ _________________ "It's a very special ride. We want to make sure it has a proper home." Cedar Fair's Innes on Big Dipper, 12th oldest roller coaster on Earth. "There will not be a lot more work being done on the property" in 2008 said Innes. CF save BD in 09.
