Here are some silly plans that SFWoA had in mind before they cleaned out the fishtanks: THE LOST WORLD RIVER RIDE Remember this silly thing? Like some pyramid ride where you jungle cruise and look at birds and tigers and stuff. Could've been rad. Would've been situated in the walkway between the Life and Ride side THAT HYPER COASTER Who was supposed to build this again? Chance Morgan I think, and the lift hill was supposed to be adjacent to the Ski Stadium and whatever. Oh man, this long sought after hyper coaster, what a silly idea... KILLER WHALES Well there was Shouka, Shamu's replacement, but she was supposed to get a partner from some park in Brazil or somewhere. I remember the whale trainers saying crap like, "Shouka's getting a friend soon, we just gotta fill out all that paperwork." Silly, silly, six flags CEDAR POINT "We actually drove past Cedar Point to get here, because of the variety" Hohohohohohohoho SIX FLAGS IS SO SILLY SILLY SILLY SILLY BUT NOT AS SILLY AS BILLY ...SPEHN

REMOVING OF RIDES -REMOVING STEEL VENOM,X-FLIGHT,MONORAIL AND NOT PUTTING ANYTHING BACK IN STUPID AND SILLY. FALSE PROMISES-DOMINATOR AND THUNDER HAWK WILL DEFINATLEY STILL BE HERE NEXT YEAR. OH AND THE PARK WONT CLOSE. THE WHOLE CHBANG-THEY CLOSE DOWN THE MOST IMORTANT THING IN THE PARK...THE AMUSMENT PARK (IT MIGHT NOT OF DONE GREAT BUT ITS WHAT GEAUGA LAKE WAS,NOT A FREAKING WATER PARK) WATER PARK-ITS SO SMALL I COULD GET IT DONE IN A HALF HOUR. THE ANIMAL SIDE-THEY GOT RIDE OF ALL THE ANIMALS AND SCREWED UP BY BUILDING A SUCKY A** WATERPARK. ROTTING OF RIDES-LETTING THE WATER PARK ROT AWAY WITH EVERYONE TO SEE,PUTTING FENCES UP EVERYWHERE,RAGING WOLF BOBS LOOKS LIKE IT HASNT RAN FOR 10 DECADES PRACTICALLY. EMPLOYMENT-IT SUCKED A**! SO WHEREVER YOUR FREAKING BRAIN IS GET IT BACK SO IT CAN SMACK YOU OVER THE HEAD AND REALIZE THAT SIX FLAGS WAS WAY BETTER. BY THE WAY THE EMPLOYMENT SUCKED BECAUSE NO ONE WANTED TO BE THERE CAUSE MY FREIND WORKED THERE AND SHE SAID THE PARK TREATED THEM LIKE CRAP!

They made it sound like quite an extensive attraction. _________________ On September 21, 2007, a historic 119-year old amusement park had been secretly murdered. Never forget it.

They are running into many of the problems SFWOA did. Some great rides and attractions, but doing it too fast! cf killed Geauga Lake with greed, 6Flags over-extended itself. It had plans to make it work, not to close it and steal the rides! _________________ Geauga Lake 1888-2007 2008-Forever in our Hearts

T2 needs a paint job though. i looked like it was the only thing not painted yet. twisted sisters were down, but thunder road was great. last week i was at six flags america. i was thrilled to see for myself that the park is not as bad as i have always heard. the staff was actually friendly, food was ok, for six flags! and the coasters were running (before and after the storms). they need a lot of paint at this park! the park was very clean though. six flags st louis is next week. havent been there in 2 years. 2 new coasters to ride! i will be at the auction, hope to get some pics and maybe some memories, signage, etc. god, i miss my Geauga Lake Amusement Park!  dave _________________ DAVE

Unfortunately it grew too big too fast and due to mismanagement it as alll scrapped. SFWoA plans actually weren't that silly, I think if they followed through with everything it would have been serious competition for that place to the west. Rides on one side, a nice waterpark, animals and shows on the other, and a nice resort hotel with a small indoor water park. So you really think CF buying GL was a conspiracy theory? Somebody knew what could have happened. _________________ 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.
