There are some good videos on the Cleveland TV channel websites (3, 5, 8, 19) - search their sites for Geauga Lake stories. WKYC flew a helicopter over Geauga Lake in March and got about 7 minutes of footage of parts of the park: http://www.wkyc.com/video/player.aspx?aid=58020&bw= Newsnet5 also has some video about the closing: http://www.newsnet5.com/news/15711326/detail.html _________________ "It's a very special ride.

I made it to the Pizza Hut off off Route 91 just a few miles from the park and couldnt go any further.  When I see the compilation videos of what was done in the past few years, I truly have tears in my eyes as I watch them.... especially the one with the statement towards the end that reads "Not the end we had hoped for".  Please, since I didnt have the Heart/courage to make it that last few miles, Coasterdad and Ride op please keep posting as many pics as you can.

The park meant alot to everyone. We all share similar fond memories. Some have their own favorite moments. Now I am only 29 yrs old, but I still remember things like Geauga Dog, the Rotor Man, Turtle Beach, Big Ditch Boat ride, The Wave.  If it was not for me working summers at Geauga Lake. I would not have met my wife of 10 years (She was my Boss) Nor would I have my 2 daughters. So hey if the park brings a tear to your eye, don't be embarassed or ashamed. Rambling is allowed. That is what we are all here for.                                                      -Isaac _________________ Remember......Fan Boys and Haters are always good for one thing. A one sided argument.

Is that the sign in the brick wall on Route 43 near the ride side parking lot? I understand that they need to promote Wildwater Kingdom, but to put a sign in front of the closed ride side that says "opening May 24" is misleading and could cause a lot of confusion and disappointment. _________________ "It's a very special ride.

I drove by and seen it there. went by the old ballroom to pickup my truck, drove back to get it and they had already loaded it up. Would have looked sweet in my garage. _________________ Remember......Fan Boys and Haters are always good for one thing. A one sided argument. Which are you?

I had some time this week, and was over by the park, trying to see what I could through the many fences. While there, I was able to see trucks driving around inside and working. These trucks were from "GLENWOOD HOMES".     Are they the guys doing all the deconstruction? There were a few of their trucks there. The home market must be really bad if a builder is now tearing down our park.

I wonder why a builder would be on site since supposedly no one has purchased the property yet...hmmmmm. Another deceitful lie? _________________ 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.

I did...I came across some rustic wooden vacation-looking homes.  They don't seem like a good fit around Geauga Lake with busy SR 43 right nearby.   Anyone who purchases those homes is a fool.  I could certainly see having one if I were, say, out in the wilderness somewhere like Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, etc....but certainly not in NE Ohio. What a bunch of dumba$$es.

It will be interesting to see what involvement they have in the future. I am sure they will be at the auction!
