Now I love amusement parks. Grew up in Geauga Lake. Great family place affordable, close to home and full of fun for all sizes. Cedar point its fun but its further away and more for grown up thrill seekers I won't even go now because I would rather head to Pa for Hershey park or Kennywood for my kids. Because Cedar fair killed my home town family fun park do something with it. It is a perfect picture of what is wrong this country. Give us Geauga lake back . Now.
I grew up on treat rd. I loved summers at the park, it is such a great family memory for me. Between the loss of sea world and geauga lake, I feel like so many new families in Aurora and northeast Ohio never got the chance to have these awesome memories! Bring the park back!!!
Because of the location and the price I would go to Geauga Lake more often than Cedar Point. I miss being able yo go to an amusement park more often. It had a nice variety for all ages. A little better than Cedar Point.
I wish you would reopen Geauga lake it was the best

So sad.
I really miss Geauga lake I wish they would have never shut it down
Should of never been closed.
I love the park it needs to be brought back to the towns so people can enjoy it again
Under Handed Closure
Bring back Geauga Lake Park!!!!!
I have so many great memories!! I wish it was still there!!
Bring back geauga lake
It is shameful that you purchased this once great amusement park only to shut it down. Too bad you couldn't handle having another amusement park in the area. Then to top it off, you leave the Big Dipper to sit & rot. :-(
Ruined one of the best parks.
Very sad how they did it!!
I refuse to visit any of Cedar Fairs parks, shame on you.
I'm joining the fight to save GL, whether that be in person or virtually fighting to save its life via cyberspace!
This was a disgusting travesty! The fact that it happened at all simply due to the fact that it was completion for cedar point. Reality they were two different parks. Directed at two different types of "seekers". There could have been lots of money to be made. And now even more so. Just with all the hoopla surrounding Geauga Lake. It would take in a lot of cash. Now people know what it's like to lose it! It was wrong to do it so abruptly. There should have at the very least a proper goodbye. Now all we have are the ghosts of Summers past.
we want our park back
I grew up going to Geauga Lake! Glad your pockets got full while destroying a legendary place!
Cedar air destroyed fantastic park and ruined the lives of about 3500 people all at one failed swoop.
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. (Winston Churchill). It seems that Cedar Fair acted in the true spirit of capitalism and stole all the blessings in this situation. It was a clever, sly, and stealthy move. Who could blame them? The sole purpose of a business is to make a profit. But seizing, slashing, and burning the Geauga park was likely not the only solution available, and Cedar Fair could have intelligently strategized to serve the greater public benefit, planned to enhance the enjoyment of even more guests, and even increased the profits from both parks.
Cedar fair was unfair to us I feel like they lied to everyone for greedy money save what's left

I grew up going here with my parents back in the 60's and 70's..when I had my own children I also took them to the park consistently..It was such a great park and there is no rhyme or reason why cedar fair would allow it to be destroyed!! How sad that such a jewel with so many memories had to be disassembled by cedar fair!! Especially after they promised to do so much more to improve it!!
