Sad to say I just read that the future of Geauga Lake is water park only. Good bye all other rides. Northeast Ohio is really losing a great destination. Hope someone jumps in to bye the place before Cedar Fair detroys everything by clearing the land entirely.

Nate, you make some excellent points. Why should Cedar Fair operate 3 large parks in one state? You’re right. It may be smarter for Geauga to diversify and go the smaller park route.

I believe that Geauga Lake has a lot of potential. Being from the surrounding area, some locals I have talked to actually prefer the park to be more of a relaxing atmosphere than an all out roller coaster haven which is probably the most likely direction they are going. After all, why co-exist in a similar manner with another park just down the road.

I always thought Geauga Lake had a nice park-like setting so I think they will enhance this to their advantage. Maybe they can put more family attractions in and make it more appealing in different ways so that people will want to visit both Cedar Point and Geauga Lake and not just one or the other which seems to be the case for the normal family.

Having a really good water park and maybe a large picnic area and boardwalk would probably work really well. Moving a lot of the coasters is sure to reduce operating costs and my bet is that it won’t have an effect on attendance at all. If anything, at the very least they can keep the same attendance they have been getting while making more profits since operating and maintenance costs would go down.
