Where do think they could install it?

The structure uses a max of 100x250 footprint, so I'm sure they could fit it somewhere if they wanted.

I can't see the large slides being used in CPS because the new tube slides are very similar to the ones that were on Thunder Falls.


CP Top 5: 1) Steel Vengeance 2) Maverick 3) Magnum 4) Raptor 5) Millennium

Whether they can and will are different questions. I don't think it's a significant probability, but it's a possibility.

My kids would love it if the funnel slide came to CP although if you looked at at from the lazy river area the structure had significant rust and was leaking in many places so I don't know if it would be worth moving or if that kind of structure could be refurbished enough to fit in with a "new" park at a cost considered profitable. I don't think it would come to CP Shores if it can't be made to look "new".

I was out at the outlet malls today near Geauga Lake and WWK. Since I had some time to kill, I drove back to the entrance of WWK and it was soooo sad! Nothing really remains other than an overgrown parking lot, a few attendant booths and the main building where you used to enter. You can't see much else while driving around there but it's clear that the waterslides are gone, and its first time I've driven past Geauga Lake without the Big Dipper being there. It's so eerie and I'm sad a part of history is gone forever!

I usually take 306 so I don't have to be sad. I grew up going there several times a year. Too many friends worked there.


Maverick since '99

I can relate. I feel sad every time I walk by the old Pirate Ride (Boo Hill) and Earthquake (Snoopy Boutique) buildings. Among a few other places.

I feel sad about GL as well. Not to make light of that.
