GL Announcement Nov 10

Now you've gone way too far! I don't have a rope but someone else might.

Well, somebody had to say it.. lol *** Edited 10/8/2004 8:42:00 PM UTC by FLYINGSCOOTER***

Pepsi Plunge is GL's log flume and quite frankly one of its most popular attractions. The reason it would be moved is to open up the midway as it is quite narrow there.

Moved or removed?

I think if they decide to open the back of the park back up again, moving the flume back there would be a great way to get people to go back there, not to mention open up that midway.

I'll say what I said in the CP thread here too - a super-sized Maurer-Sohne (or even standard!) would be an absolutely perfect fit for GL. It would fit the "family" theme a lot better than a hyper, B&M or otherwise (and I don't know which I would chose, which is saying something since Nitro is one of my top coasters).

I've been waiting for a park on this side of the pond to build a Spinball Whizzer or something along those lines. Of course, I'd be happy to see parks build more of those awesome-looking Gerstlauer spinning coasters as well. The ones at Camp Snoopy and WOF look outrageous!

Gimme those overbanks and "swizzle" tracks over helicies any day man ... Maurer is the shizzeenit ;)

If GL did move Pepsi Plunge were would they put it. Not to mention that they would have to have it removed by now, or at least some sign of it being moved.

I've heard nothing of it being moved, and was just going along with a previous post. The Pepsi Plunge area typically becomes a bottleneck, but that hasn't been a problem this year with the light crowds and all.

Joe,

They could do it in time if they make it a portable hypercoaster.... like Tealon.

Ask yourself this... If you were Geauga Lake circa 2000, and suddenly you had lots of room and no intention to build animal attractions, what would you do first?

Sell your park to Sea World of course. :)

I agree, to an extent, that we would already see some form of removal for a coaster.

BUT, (and this is a big one)...There is many parts of the park that we can't see. And if they do build a statin by Shark attack, there is A LOT of room to either A) go towards the parking lot, or B) go behind the Happy Harbor Flats in that big grassy field, and then maybe clear out a few trees. That I believe wouldn't take at all long to clear out. Plow, or perhaps even keep the building, to make the station (that might even be pretty easy), clear a little land. Heck, there is a lot of terrain over there. Why flatten things, use what you have! Not to mention, it would be pretty easy to level the marsh and use it. Then you wouldn't have to worry when it floods (much like what they have done with the land under Dominator. I really think that not much has to be done with the land or area over there to add a hyper. Now if the station was to go by the old aquaquarium, that's a different story. At the same time though, a lot could be going on that we have not seen (though from different view points, it doesn't look like any building, stadium, or midway has been touched on the outside.)

I hope they'll finally add those lights to the coasters we have been hoping for ;)

So... you're voting for strippers, then? :)

Now THAT is what I call a well-rounded and fun day at the park...;)

They could move the plunge under and around The Double Loop.
help me out here: i remember the year before 6flags put in Batman/villian/kid coaster/superman, we had passes and were there like every weekend. w/the exception of Batman, i remember no signs of excavation in October or before...
same goes for when X-flight got put in...
Does anyone else remember seeing anything?
granted, when they starting retracking RagingWB's, they started in Aug...

I'd imagine the biggest part of the project to be the excavation of dirt and the pouring of fillers... the structure of a coaster can rise in a month or so. How long did it take Xcelerator to get built once the ground work was done? Three weeks? Maybe four?

there is a though....i would love to see a B&M hyper as bad as anyone else, but lets not forget that Xcelerator is a hyper, and from what I hear doing very well out there on the left coast.

Ask yourself what the most congested part of the park is, then answer my previous question.

There's another big surprise on the way... and it has nothing to do with attractions.

TELL US!

Jeff, I'm not sure what you mean by, "Suddenly you had lots of room."

Do you mean that suddenly, you aquired all of the land that the former Sea World was on?

If so, then I would remodel the former marine-life stadiums for theatrical use (much like the Good Time Theater at CP). I would move the Pepsi Plunge to the hill by the bird stadium, and in it's place widen the midway and add a rock'n'tug.

Replace the former Dolphin Cove with Headspin, and in HS's place restore the former Flying Scooters. Then, move double loop to the area that Happy Harbor Nets currently occupies. (If you want to use the nets go to Chuck E. Cheese) In Double Loop's former place extend the Coyote Creek midway into the Picnic Cove area, then add a Huss Frisbee and Huss Jump^2.
