to say the truth, six flags screwed the pooch on this family oriented theme park. premier parks (aka six flags did not want to deliver the final blow in running this old gem to the ground. Had this park been farther away from Cedar Fairs flagship park with no other local/regional competition, maybe, just maybe they would have had a chance.RIP Geauga Lake

I think it is sad they closed it down but don't whine and cry about it. I happen to love Cedar Fair because they helped Kings Island in Cincinnati. Listen, Cedar Point is twice as big and an hour away. Buy a pass and go there. Its not that much of a drive. Trust. Now stop whining and complaining about Cedar Fair, and move on. Six Flags probably did what happened to the park anyway and Cedar Fair couldn't afford to do anything with it. Be lucky there is still a waterpark there.

This is depresing, theirs nothing to do half the time anyways in northeastern Ohio and they took one of the few fun things we had, I remerber getting season passes with my ex for years and spending Friday and Saturday evenings rideing the rollor coasters or hanging out at the water parks, and they always had something for Halloween. I went to ceder point this summer with some freinds and we did like the rides but we had to stand in line for 2 or 3 hours at a time and we all wished geauga washere

Also, CF never attempted to improve the park in any way, shape or form, and adding cornhole doesn't count either. They did build the new waterpark but they also had a full waterpark on the other side of the lake and they abandoned that one to open another mediocre one which will probably not even be open after the 2010 season. They didn't show no effort at all to redevelop the old waterpark and they even removed two roller coasters, added no rides on the rides side and still increased admission.

@winningfreak1, you're more than welcome to check this out and research for yourself, I've sent you the link on your profile since it won't let me here.The biggest question is why would Cedar Fair already have the cranes dismantling the coasters less than two months following the announcement that Geauga Lake was no more, when Cedar Fair have repeatedly said that their decision to close Geauga Lake was made late in the season? Don't believe everything you hear from Sandusky.

@hooksman60 I think you are sort of right on this. I think Sea World wanted out of their park and Six Flags was hoping it could make a profit by giving the consumer 3 parks for the price of one day at Disney Land. But the cost to run 3 parks was just astronomical and they wanted out. Cedar fair figured they could run 2 parks, charge the same prices and not have to worry about the expense of the animal park. But this just didn't work and they already own one of the biggest parks in north america
