Conneaut to raise $125K to reopen Big Dipper

The Little Dipper was my first coaster. The Blue Streak was my first "big person" coaster. I have a lot of memories wrapped up in that park.

I don't have anything against the efforts to revitalize CLP. I hope they're successful. I just don't really want to see it operating in a condemned state. Sounds like that was a short-term problem last year. I'm looking forward to hearing reports about 2010.

A-ha...the jig is up! You're a softie...it's just your photo that makes you look tough ;)

And yes, should Conneaut open this year you should visit regardless if the Blue Streak is operating.

Alert the media! LOL, I thought that was *known* from at least a couple years ago... ;)

I though it was well known too. Aggressive vocalist aside and crazy conspiracy theorist aside, I am just a big teddy bear.

I will probably not get the chance to visit Conneaut this year, because I have a lot on my wish list, but maybe next year, if it is still open.

I'm teasing you, LK :)

Well I gave $20. I gave more to Haiti... and I'm just a working college student.
