Over the last two weeks, the anonymous owner of Geauga Lake's Big Dipper tried selling the coaster on eBay. Through that process, we've learned a little more about the man, the anger directed at him, and his history with The Big Dipper. A representative says the ride will be demolished September 15 without a buyer.
Read more from WKYC/Cleveland.
To me Big Dipper was an ok ride who's only claim to fame was it's age.
The trains were a bastardized reproduction of a NAD design and if you sat in the back seat of a car it bottomed out so badly that it made Sonny feel comfortable.
Let the thing die, it had it's time.
There is a coaster next to a campground in Southern Ohio that is a far greater loss as it was spectacular and that is Screechin' Eagle at Lesourdsville Lake/Americana

Eagle was truly a magnificent ride. And that back seat was nothing short of amazing.
Do have to question the phrase (in regards to Dipper's back seat) "bottomed out so badly" - pretty sure that's supposed to say "bottomed out so WELL"...but that's a matter of personal preferences... ;)
You still have Zoidberg.... You ALL have Zoidberg! (V) (;,,;) (V)
If the super-secret mystery buyer would have just been up-front with everyone and not so ...mysterious, maybe some of the potential buyers would have taken the sale seriously. ...Perhaps. The owner seems so shady.
