Sure he has an honest opinion ( we do like that ) but at the same time its like he wants to cause trouble. _________________ Geauga Lake I will miss you!

I'm planning on flying back from California to the auction, that is if it is public.  I too would like some minor souveniers - signs, mugs, posters, etc - and even have one last stroll back through the park.  Not sure how realistic it is to think that I'll get some of these items but just walking back through the park to say goodbye would be worth it.   I'm not sure any more actions can be taken to try and save the rides that still exist - but I sure as heck hope I'm wrong.   _________________ Karma is a B*tch, and CF u just got a boat load of bad stuff coming ur way!  Burn CF!  BURN!

Ray P., I was not even thinking of you as one of the potential vocal individuals that Fun implied might disrupt the auction.  I have learned a lot from your posts & photos about both Geauga Lake and the industry, keep up the good work (good brochure by the way). I wonder how they will do the auction, if the pending massive demolition rumors are even partly true, that park will be pretty ripped up between now and June. _________________ "It's a very special ride.

I doubt they'll be interested in BLMR... BLMR/RRXpress is/was a superior ride to either of them...if you have kids that you take to the parks, you'd know...BLMR is more of a family ride than a kiddie ride (25-30mph)....RF3 comes close, but Junior Phantom is junk compared to BLMR. _________________ http://www.splashingfun.com

They could buy it and replace junior phantom. They could get it for a good price. _________________ Geauga Lake I will miss you!

They all could end up at a Michigan auction house in June." Does this imply that perhaps the auction wont be held at the park at all?  And that the last go through some of us talked about, may not happen at all?  And that maybe everything is going to be taken apart and shipped to Michigan?  Kinda odd dont you think?
