Cedar Fair to acquire Six Flags Worlds of Adventure

Six Flags Worlds Of Adventure will forever go down in history as one of the biggest disasters in amusement park expansions. Sometimes, it's good to get back to basics. Geauga Lake is back.

Please tell me I can use my Cedar Point pass there this summer

Ummm... does this mean that my Six Flags season pass will no longer be good at Worlds of Adventure?

Also... does this mean that Cedar Fair will take the park over & run it, or will it be eventually selling or moving all its assets over to its other properties? If they keep it around, it looks like Cedar Fair will have a Bermuda Triangle of parks near one another, the others being Michigan's Adventure and.. of course... Cedar Point.

I hope Cedar Fair buys Six Flags Darien Lake ... Something needs to be done with Darien Lake its getting worse every year!

...just when I learned how to pronounce Worlds of Adventure without a problem, here they go back & changing the name to the original which I totally cannot pronounce.

...I wonder what will happen with the Loony Tunes area, the Batman/Superman coasters & the Batman stunt show...
...will they retain for '04 & make the changes for '05, or will they work diligantly to re-brand this park this year & give it the ol' Geauga Lake feel again, that the people once knew & loved?

I'm thinking the names and brands will be retained until 2005, seeing as how there are t-minus two months till the park opens.

What I wonder is Did they also aquire the rights to the DC Comics and Bugs Bunny names. Otherwise there's going to be some serious renaming going on there. Or maybe we'll get RCT2 versions of the original names Knight Flight(Batman's Knight Flight) Ultimate Escape(Superman Ultimate Escape)

A substantial discussion is already in progress in the forum.

This IS a joke, right?

Bill Spehn has been name VP & GM of Geauga Lake.

Wahoooooooooo! no more Six Flags. What a great surprise! But my mom brought up something that i never knew. She said that Cedar Point use to own Geauga Lake years and years ago. Cuz when you went through the gates, they gavve you a hand stamp that had CP on it. So who know what will hapeen now, but all i can say is that Cedar Fair buyin it will be for the better of us all.

Well, firstly, Six Flags needs to put Darien Lake up for sale, buddy. Then contenders for purchase can come to the table.

Tell me I'm dreaming........then again this means Double Loop will get that much needed trim. :P

Does this mean the Villain, Big Dipper and Raging Wolf Bobs will be maintained like Mean Streak?

CP Boy, your mom is almost right. A number of CP officials went off on their own and bought Geauga Lake back in the late 60's. They were the ones who formed Funtime. But they were not connected with CP anymore. In a way though, things have come full circle.

Woodyman, why can't they maintain it like Ghostrider?

While i am happy with this, i do have some problems with this. I am not sure if i can afford my first trips to sfgam and sfgadv now that i don't have a sfwoa pass anymore. Secondly, with no competition between the two, maybe the rate of coaster productivity and other park improvements will not be so rapid, (especially geuga lake). This is just a theory so please don't rag on me for it. But who am i kidding, great buy for cedar fair, now maybe the x-flight line won't be so slow!

I'm shocked, should I cry or jump for joy? I just got home from school, what on earth is going on?!

Wow! Seriously, I checked the calendar to make sure today wasn't April 1.
