Since the auction I just can't seem to get the desire to go to Aurora anymore. _________________ On September 21, 2007, a historic 119-year old amusement park had been secretly murdered.

I will always remember the year it was being built I was so excited. I loved riding it. It was a great woodie although short life span unfortunately noone will be able to ride it again since they are going to scrap the coaster. I will always remember The Villian.

I know what you  mean though...aurora is just a big nothing now that the lake is being destroyed. _________________ Geauga Lake I will miss you!

I still can't believe what a waste of a great ride! It had such a short life! I know I had a blast on it even on the last day it ever ran! When I rode it the last day, little did I know that it was the last day ever!!!! So depressing!

I rode it with Gunky and we both had one of the best rides it ever gave us, like it was saying good bye. I had a pretty good feeling it would be my last ride but even now its hard to believe that it is a reality. _________________ Greed is what caused GL's demise and that just makes me sick.

I know that the reality is really setting in and it sucks! I see what a beautiful day it is today and I hate the fact that I can't go ride my rides at Geauga Lake! I  do not like to drive1.5 hours each way and wait in line to have fun! Plus I don't have many people who will go with me.

I may live in Maryland, but I play in a Beatles Tribute band that frequents and is based in NE Ohio... last september after a friday night show, I had the opertunity to go, but passed to go to a movie instead... A MOVIE. I'm sure it sucked too... Ugh. I can say that in the winter (of 99/00 I believe) I did constantly drive by looking on in extreme anticipation as Batman, Superman, and Villian were slowly rising... I even called in sick to go and buy my first SF pass and spend the day at the park alone getting to know my new "friends". CF started hammering in the death nails when they removed X-Flight and Superman/SV. They knew all along what they were doing.

I enjoyed all of it though. _________________ Geauga Lake I will miss you!
