Developer wants to restore Buckeye Lake

Well, if CP can't make money on a themed "boardwalk" section of the park ala Lost Kennywood, then I don't know how this park would survive.

CP never tried to make a "boardwalk".

Jeff, this thing I think is near a popular rec area and a housing dev.
Edit: Jeff, I dorve to Conneaut Lake to ride one coaster (11 times) and went home ;)

I have no problem with a new park opening or being restored, but some place other than Ohio or California or Florida would be nice! They have enough parks, but since it is already there I am all for, but I don't know how it will compete with all the other parks there.

Interesting. John Wolfe (Wolfe Enterprises, Dispatch Printing Company) currently owns some land out there. (which exact land, i don't know) So, I wonder if he could be one of the investors. This idea could work, but they would need to remain an annual picnic park.

I actually remember going to Buckeye Lake MANY times when I was a kid visiting my aunt and uncle here in Ohio. They had a "Wild Mouse" type ride that was situated where it was like you were going to fall into Buckeye Lake on one of the turns. I remember their haunted house, and they had a POP option too. It would be awesome for this place to be rebuilt.
With PKI 1.25 hours away and CP :) 2.75 hours, Buckeye Lake would be maybe 30 minutes-woo hoo!
Sounds good to me!!

It could be just a bit of a myth, but my one of my parents told me that a car off of the wild mouse coaster once jumped the track and landed in the lake.  Whether it is true or not I do not know, but i'm sure the tale made it an intimidating coaster to young riders.

My science teacher told me that they had a crash there and 100 people died

Oh, I just received an e-mail from a top offical at Buckeye Lake who said there are no planes to restore this place.
