Compilations and Complications of a man named Cuddy
Geauga Lake closed, get over it and on with your life

So I've been up all night, which is what working a 3rd shift schedule will do to you. And I was doing some surfing and reading and came across a Geauga Lake website. The site itself was rather nice, but then you got to the forums. After viewing their forums, I don't know if I'd ever want to join a pathetic group of people like that. So Cedar Fair closed Geauga Lake...big whoop. Attendance figures have been quoted as dropping significantly when the park changed ownership from Six Flags to Cedar Fair. That was your problem there...NO ONE WAS GOING. You can't make money without people being there.
One gripe mentioned in their forums was what happened on Raging Wolf Bobs last year with the derailment. In their minds, CF did nothing to try and fix the coaster. I don't know that for a fact...but if you have something derail, be it a coaster or a freight train and track gets damaged, its not something you can fix overnight. Look at WildCat at Cedar Point...that coaster broke down a week before Memorial Day and it is still down, all the cars are off the track. Apparently Cedar Point is going through, looking for a specific cause.
Now this brings me to the real reason I posted this. The GL site I mentioned above has decent forums, but some members are downright ass hats. Yes, this includes the admin at that site who's vendetta seems to be that since CF closed down GL, that CP should be perfect in everything it does. Newsflash moron, every park is going to have problems, be it daily, monthly or whatever. When I dislike things like say the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James, I don't go out of my way every time someone makes a positive comment about LBJ or the team to find a negative...but yet this admin does. Just reading his posts and his hatred that I don't think is justified, should make people think about joining that site.
And then this nonsense of boycotting Cedar Fair...what a joke. You people are totally clueless.
