I would like to thank everyone I met today for their hospitality. It is clear that the love you feel for GLP is painful and at the same time it makes you smile.
There is a reason that TBD is still standing. I wish I was able to tell you why.
I encourage you to focus on the good feelings you had there and try to find a way to put away the hurt for now.
I enjoyed the photos and stories and hope that some day you will be able to feel the thrill again.
What a beautiful day to meet then drive down 43 and see her standing there, proud and defiant.
Best Wishes for a new Geauga Lake Park. What a beautiful day indeed! |

We are happy you joined us! It was nice to meet you! I agree there is a reason the Dipper is still standing strong! And as I have said before that as long as it stands, there is hope for its future! I hope you will join us for our next meeting in Dec!!! I love to meet with so many people who care about a wonderful park and a great coaster that means so much to so many people!!!! _________________ Life is like a rollercoaster.

Unfortunately I was unable to make it today but I am glad to hear coasterowner made it and everyone was able to meet him. I think we can all agree on one thing and that is that Dipper will be made able to thrill again. It’s unfortunate that coasterowner will no longer talk to me via email due to his unwillingness in understanding the hurt caused by CF on all of us. I will never stop defending what I believe to be one of the worst moves by an amusement park owner to their loyal customers. Not only did they lie to us then, they continue to lie in everything they do. We were lied to and told untruths, and for that we are supposed to stop talking about it. I agree with mostly everything coasterowner has to say, but I will not ever stop telling people how I feel…..ever! _________________ GL's demise was caused by one mans foolish greed.

The emotions stirred up by memories of the park are undeniable.
The disappointment over how it was closed and lack of any explanation still upsets a lot people, many who never post about it.
The legend of the park is growing.
Seems like a great opportunity for a win-win situation that benefits the area, people who loved the park, the Big Dipper owner and yes even Cedar Fair, as owner of the land they clearly are part of the picture. It would be great for all involved if something works out. |

Had a great time yesterday!Enjoyed meeting some new members and it was a real honor to meet Coasterowner. I felt many topics were discussed and alot of positive ideas came out of this meeting. I feel it was a real step towards the future. Afterwards, took a quick walk around the park, not too much had changed since the last time. The Big Dipper standing majestic on such a sunny day made for a dramatic backdrop!  _________________ Geauga Lake 1888-2007 2008-Forever in our Hearts |

Even if I did go, two of the three people I wanted to have met would not have been there. I'll get out there eventually... _________________ I don't like a certain company so everything they do MUST be wrong, even if it's right. And that makes me look like a bigger fool.
Take a stand against coasters that hurt or kill people. Holiday World & Knotts Berry Farm, we are watching you! |

Hey everyone,
Had a great time seeing everyone there at the meet-up. Wish I could have stayed longer. I think it was a good and productive meeting. Looking forward to the next one. Hopefully, I can stay longer next time.
Thanks,
