  1. I saw this on the local Cleveland news! They kept teasing the story by showing pictures of the Big Dipper, saying-- "A classic Geauga Lake thrill ride is coming back!!!" Oh well. At least it's something. I'll have to check out Funtime Fun Park. The owners were practically raised at GL (It seems that the name/sun logo is a homage to Funtime Inc.) and have a lot of love for it.
  2. This kind of place (Probably in a much smaller building) would be great in NYC where the weather isn't so great. I've found it weird that NYC/NJ only really has Coney Island, SFGadV, and small Jersey Shore parks--yet they have such a massive population and number of tourists/major media companies. C'mon Disney, build a Marvel thing in NY!
  3. Was listening to a comedy podcast where the comedians are based in NYC. It's similar in format to Howard Stern, where they just talk about random stuff. They talked about going to SFGAdv over the weekend. “Hey dude, did you ride the Kingda Ka?” “Yeah man, it was awesome.” “How can you ride those tings? Don’t people die on those all the time?” “Yeah man, like 20 people died on the Kingda Ka, right? They got decapitated. It was real messed up” “Yeah I bet a buncha people have died at SFGadv! Let’s check wikipedia” (They apparently check it) “Ok…here it says like 50 people got decapitated on Kingda Ka!” AARGH!!!
  4. Well technically not “Coaster” shame— In 2002, I was at Cliff’s Amusement park in Albuquerque on a summer trip with my High School Youth Group. Decided to ride their vintage Chance Yo-Yo. I had just chatted up two cute girls from New Orleans in line when we all boarded. I sit in the seat—This is my first time riding a yo-yo. I go to put the tiny "lap bar" down and find, to my naive horror that THE BAR WON’T LOCK! I frantically move the tiny, thin steel restraint bar up and down, shouting “HEY, IT’S NOT LOCKING!!” “HEY, IT’S NOT LOCKING!!!” The ride begins and I spend the entire time in white-knuckle terror. “this is it”, I thought. “A budding coaster enthusiast like me is gonna be one of those gruesome teenage ride accident victims like in the news. I’m gonna die, thousands of miles from home, on a Yo-Yo!!” Turns out the bars on Yo-Yos aren’t supposed to lock.
