Representative for mystery seller says Big Dipper will be demolished without a buyer
Posted
Over the last two weeks, the anonymous owner of Geauga Lake's Big Dipper tried selling the coaster on eBay. Through that process, we've learned a little more about the man, the anger directed at him, and his history with The Big Dipper. A representative says the ride will be demolished September 15 without a buyer.

Regardless of how the adds were displayed - I just don't think it was an attractive buy for anyone.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
Oh, I was just making a poor attempt at being funny. As if the listings were ransom notes. Get it? Never mind.
I agree, the listings have nothing to do with it.

I got the ransom note reference, but wasn't sure if you were joking or not, because you used a :( instead of the obligatory :) ;).

My bad. Can I create a winkie frowny guy? ;(
That was the problem.

To me Big Dipper was an ok ride who's only claim to fame was it's age.
The trains were a bastardized reproduction of a NAD design and if you sat in the back seat of a car it bottomed out so badly that it made Sonny feel comfortable.
Let the thing die, it had it's time.
There is a coaster next to a campground in Southern Ohio that is a far greater loss as it was spectacular and that is Screechin' Eagle at Lesourdsville Lake/Americana

How long has Eagle been SBNO? I should think it would be virtually unsalvageable by now.

Eagle is likely too far gone, but it is still the far greater loss then Big Dipper, and it went without a whimper.
Sad it ran less then a season after CCI did so much work on it for it's reopening.

I wish I had embraced my addiction...er, I mean, enthusiasm, years earlier and made it down to Lesourdsville Lake while it was running.

During the first Coasterbuzz Con at PKI a large group of us took the trip to Lesourdsville, as Rob said still the only standup woodie I have ever ridden.
-Brent Kneebush
Eagle was truly a magnificent ride. And that back seat was nothing short of amazing.
Do have to question the phrase (in regards to Dipper's back seat) "bottomed out so badly" - pretty sure that's supposed to say "bottomed out so WELL"...but that's a matter of personal preferences... ;)

Bill, I meant badly! My coccyx still hurts all these years later!

If the super-secret mystery buyer would have just been up-front with everyone and not so ...mysterious, maybe some of the potential buyers would have taken the sale seriously. ...Perhaps. The owner seems so shady.

But ... But.... Ocean Motion is supposed to be a family friendly ride ... But....
No, Butts weren't the problem, it's Breasts.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
