Great American Amusement Park at LeSourdsville Lak

...couldn't even fit the entire name in the thread's title...that should tell you something about the nature of this thread. The latest ACE Newsletter posed the challenge to come up with a "user-friendly" handle for the park....

...being the *creative* type (ROFL), I thought it was time to challenge the CB community for some creative names for the park. My brain has been stuck since I first saw the acronym GAAPALL, and all I can come up with is just that....GAAPALL. If you need to know how I suggest pronouncing it, just remember that it rhymes with PayPal...;).

I know *some* others may object to my name, so here's your opportunity. Remember the rules: It's gotta be short, and keep some connection to the admittedly too long of a name that the park currently has....

BTW, my Screechin' Eagle shirt says simply Americana....

GAAP@LL

:)

Or just LL.

I would say most people will call it LeSourdsville Lake. My dad has *always* called it LeSourdsville, even when it was Americana.

He let the contents of the bottle do the thinking; can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding.

Isn't the official name "Lesourdsville Lake Amusement Park?" That's what the big sign out by the road says.

Somebody apparently got wise to the name being WAAAAAY too long.

The official name of the park, on the sign, on the T-shirts, on the patches on the employee shirts, etc., is LeSourdsville Lake.

That actually makes it pretty easy. :)

How about LVL?

Why do they report power outages on TV?

LL or Lesourdsville would surfice.

Not sure, but I may have been the evil doer responsible for GAAPALL......or TPFKAA (The park formerly known as Americana). Don't ask me to pronounce it! I'll probably call it Americana til the day I die. What a great name for a park.

Im not sure who exactly came up with the GAAPALL but that is how the park was anounced when it was told they were re-opening.

Americana was a good name, It did however alienate the town it's in and those who knew it as such. I am one of the few old enough to remember it as Lesourdsville Lake originally and lately I have been having trouble choosing a name when mentioning the park. Sometimes I say Americana, Sometimes Lesourdsvill. I prefer Lesourdsville Lake.

If it is officially LL or LL:TGAAP, then instead of TPFKAA, maybe it should reference it's short-lived title and be TPFKATGAAPALL! Pronounce THAT one! :)

All these letters are making me dizzy...I'm gonna go lie down for a while...

Coming to Wyandot Lake in 2003: Sea Dragon's Revenge

This seems to me a classic example of how to spend a lazy June day looking for a problem where none exists. Everyone I know who lives in that area just calls it "The Lake" or "L-ville." As in " Hey, man, whaddya say we drive up to The Lake and take a few rides?" or " Why don't you come up this weekend? We could hit Kings Island Saturday and Lville's open again so we could stop by there Friday night or Sunday afternoon."

Yep, an answer for something thats now a problem
