At least what's already there? Not a big fan of the new name, it doesn't roll off the tongue well at all.

Are they keeping The Sea Dragon? Has it been torn down? It's a classic coaster. I hope they saved it. The website is Zoombezibay.com.

Nothing as far as I know is listed on the main site....but I think it should still be part of the park. _________________ Geauga Lake I will miss you!

I contacted the park, they advised me the Sea Dragon is still up and going, the dry rides will be on a pay per ride basis. I believe the roller coaster is $2.00 per ride, a lot of the kids rides which I believe they gave a list of like 15 that will be open are $1.00 per ride. I believe they can be ridden with zoo admission and the pay per ride amount, meaning I believe(I am saying I believe cuz I am only 99.9% sure) you do not have to pay the admission for the waterpark to ride the rides. _________________ Here's to Mr. Dick getting what is coming to him, and here's to GL never being closed in our memories.

It seems that the rides should be included in the price. I rode Sea Dragon in 06' and it's a great coaster. I want this to work for them but it seems a little high in price. If you have to pay for everything seperate.
