Stuff and OUCH

2007: The park's 2007 operating schedule has been significantly cut back compared with the schedules of seasons past. The park will now be open Memorial Day to Labor Day with Oktoberfest acting as a bonus weekend following the official closing of the park. X-Flight, Steel Venom, and Bel-Aire Express are now absent from the ride line up.[2]. The park also goes smoke-free this year, restricting public smoking to designated areas.[3] New for 2007 are Lego Racers (a 4D film), and Magician Tim Hill.

Does anyone know if that's OFFICAL official. As in, closed forever? Or just the regular season closing?

I worry because I've heard rumors that they're closing the park for good after this year. And the face they've removed three coasters just seems to support that. But yet, they've remodeled parts of the park.

Honestly, I don't care about the coasters at Geauga Lake. I just care about it BEING THERE. We all know it can't live up to the coaster monster that is Cedar Point, despite the face that Cedar Fair owns them now. But, for fuck's sake, this is, like, the only remaining park we have over in this area. Conneaut Lake has been closed for years. Idora Park has long been a standing but not operating park. Geneva On The Lake really doesn't count as an amusement park.

And, honestly, I don't like Cedar Point. It's too big, too busy. And, really, I don't ride coasters much anymore, unless I'm really feeling up to it.

But, I REALLY hope it doesn't close for good. :/

I've heard prior before April Fool's, actually.

Well poop. That park is like a fucking yoyo anymore. It's open, it's closed, it's open, it's closed...

It seems to me, not actually knowing anything else about it and going solely by the words offered in that blurb, that by 'official closing' they mean the official date of closing for the season. But who knows with massive corporate entities. Lie through their teeth, they does!
