It really made me sick to my stomach working on this and taking it. Sorry for the poor matching quality.

Thanks for the shot Coasterdad. That is so sad to see. The sad part is that I feel like the rides should be there!

Thanks for all the pictures coasterdad. The ones that got me the most were the pictures of the midways. I could imagine walking down those walkways. My family have been coming to GL every year since the Raging Wolf Bobs were built.

I know what you are saying about the midways. Pictures of rides and individual buildings are great, but it is pictures of the midways that transport me back into the park.

I know as I walked through and snapped my shots, I felt like I could go back in time and see moments that made me so happy and sad at the same time. Even when I went over to the WWK side, I could feel like he animals were swimming around waiting for us! And now as I get the pictures back and I start working on my scrapbook, the sadness it really hitting......

These pictures aren't new they are from the six flags era. I thought they might bring back some good memories. Just so you know the operator of the website does not have it very up to date.

Thanks for the pictures.  Funny to have seen the Six Flags sign. I was catching up my photo album and moving my albums back downstairs. Anyway my sons were looking through them and we can across The Six Flags era. My sons tthought it was cool to see the Bat mobliein front of the Dominator. Also we have some pictures from the Batman show and when they brought back the whale. It was nice to remember those times with my boys. Thats when the park was packed for the last time. I know that We have been pointing so many fingers of blamefor the demise of Geauga Lake and some say its Sixs Flags, but sometimes I wonder if Six Flags kept going with their plan and they were able to keep building without all the problems of trying to get permission what the park would have looked today! I can see it in my mind and then I see the reality of what happened and it makes me so sad! What a waste!

Thanks for the pictures. I loved the Six Flags/Premier/Funtime era. Do you have any pictures of X-Flight, DL or RRE?

I don't know who this sharp shark is but I feel heor she is really rude!!! You know people come onto this site to share their feelings and memories of Geauga Lake, not to be picked on like you seem to enjoy! I know I don't like to jump in when it comes to people like you, but if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything! I know you you have a freedom of speech, but if you were mature like most people are on this site, then you would stick to being kind to others and not play the rude game!

Well the photo of TH missing from the lake is upsetting. It will always be by the lake in my memory. It was a great addition to the park as Serial Thriller during the Premier era. I hope the people in Michigan are enjoying it at their park. Maybe I'll go see it again someday.
