I predicted Wildwater either closing or being sold sometime between 2015-2020 like back in 2014. Man I like getting my predictions right.

They've been predicting it since 2014 on Coasterbuzz too, if you see their current thread on it, so it's not like you made same bold prediction nobody else made. Don't mean to be a jerk, but learn some humility at least.

Well geez, I know I wasn't the only one. That place has had nothing added to it since Geauga Lake closed. I sure hope people started thinking that one day it was gonna close by 2014.

Damn CF. While you pass around all those water slides to your other parks, think of all the locals who once had two parks to visit will now have no where to visit. Think of all the people in the surrounding areas out of a job. Just think it's crappy for so many reasons when any park closes.

Well I kind of blame SF for Geauga Lake closing. They put way to much money into it. Of course it was a nice park, but they did too much too fast.

That is a bit true, but cedar fair bought the park because they were afraid that park would take business away from cedar point, and ended up crushing it. The sad thing is that the big dipper, an icon to american classic coasters (John A. Miller coaster) is SBNO and rotting away

Double post but 98 to 03 six flags was adding so much to all the parks. Great america was to get Mr freeze in 98, rb 99, v2 and deja 01 and superman 03. Magic mountain got riddlers in 98, Goliath in 00, deja and x in 01 (x opened in 02 but was to open in 01). Those were the years when six flags was going fast, and they bought geauga lake in 01, added 4 coasters in one year (and they were big coasters)

SFMM also got a Miler junior coaster in 1999

They bought Geauga Lake in 1996 and rebranded it in 2000. Also 1 of them was a Zierer Tivoli Large Family Coaster.

But they added a CCI hybrid, an impulse and a floorless. And then the year after they add a flying Dutchman

Premier added all sorts of attractions to different parks, purchased all sorts of different properties, and amassed a HUGE debt! They didn't know what the hell they were doing! It was more of an ego thing, than running the business properly!

I'm not a moderator or anything, so I can't force anybody to do anything, but we're at two pages of this thread now that are almost all about other parks and/or things that happened a decade ago. Not that those aren't interesting things, but can we try to keep this thread more on topic? I keep seeing a new post and clicking on it hoping there's some sort of tease or news or something, and it's just more Cedar Fair talk or whatever...

A. Technically it is related to the tread as the conversation made its way to that point.

B. This isn't TPR, ACE, etc. This is SFGAmWorld. We post Great America related topics. Geauga Lake and other park's belong elsewhere or in off-topic. Not in a thread related to a coaster within the park.

I'm going to guess that's for Six Flags Mexico or Six Flags New England.

Including the practically confirmed JLBFMs.
I can picture it now: The Jokers Battle to defeat the Justice League and Take Over Metropolis.

I would love if they took the same concept they have with JLBFM & turn it into Battle for Gotham at the other parks. It doesn't seem like it would be that difficult of a "plot twist". This way, it's not so repetitive for Sally let alone having the same attraction at so many parks. But see Battle for metropolis works, so keep it goin' right?

I feel like they do that too much. It works! - add it to this park next! It makes sense but I don't like it. I love traveling to other parks for everything we don't have love when people come here to do the same.

We kind of went off topic with "Six Flags Ohio" but it was that era that SF seemed to care more about diversity with so many different things being added to their parks. But then again, now that I'm typing this there were two Déjà Vus & V2s added after all...

Well those two V2s ended up being quite different. And plus weren't there three Deja Vu's? SFGAm, SFMM, and SFOG.

As keeps coming up, the one thing Six Flags really cares about is money. And it costs them more money to have two or three different designs created than just put the same one everywhere, and the marginal amount of extra money they may get from additional people coming to ride the unique ride is never going to cover the extra cost of the design process.

Omg yes there were!! I think the only one that stayed in the chain was SFMMs right? Ugh that ride was incredible. I will never get over how much I miss it here :/

It sucks about the individuality, you're right sadly. I just think it wouldn't be that much of a different story line to replace Metropolis with Gotham but that would also set it apart. I really do love JLBFM here though, I think it's a great addition to our park.
