Not a bad selection of rides. I like the idea of reloadable cards. It will make it easier instead of having to purchase tickets all the time. _________________ On September 21, 2007, a historic 119-year old amusement park had been secretly murdered. Never forget it.

May be worth a stop when I'm in Columbus. I wonder how much of the original Wyandot Lake remains, it looked like a nice park. That "Mission Macaw" ride sounds like flying scooters. I'm sure that will make a lot of people happy.

The $30 admission fee get's you into the zoo and waterpark. They have an all day wrist band for $15 for the rides. So I guess you would have to spend 2 days there. Day 1 do the zoo and waterpark and day 2 do the rides. Maybe next year I will go there and see it.

They have an all day wrist band for $15 for the rides. So the wrist band is $15 in addition to the $30 admission?  So even if you go just for the rides, it would be $45?? Is that right? _________________ Always remember Geauga Lake... And never forget what Cedar Fair did.

I think that is a bit much for all of that. I mean the zoo is one thing, but dang 45 for everything. That is a bit of a rip off. _________________ Katie http://groups.myspace.com/againstCedarFair www.cnajunkies.com/board

The water park and zoo is $30 and I think they said $5 for parking. That's a litlle bit high I think also.

Does anyone have any pictures? Does anyone live near Columbus? Has the place been busy? This sounds like it could become the next GL if we give it a chance. Has anyone been to the water park? Do they still have the carousel and ferris wheel?
