Considering everything is in a decent condition I would put a value of the park at about 100 Million dollars. Think, if a ride like Bull is maybe say 10 Million, and then you have many other rides, support buildings, and the land itself ( Close proximity to Gurnee Mills) Makes it not only hot property, but worth a lot.
Kyle times that by 5 and then maybe you'll be close. Remember that Cedar Fair got a basement bargain deal with SFWoA for $145 million. Ours is worth much more.
I still have $2.00 in my pocket for it right now. Give or take a few pennies.

Waiting to fill this space with something stupid to say!
It only costed 40 million to build Marriott's Great America. 2 Top Thrill Dragsters would cost more now-a-days.
While I have no idea how much it is currently worth, I think it's very safe to say that it is worth far more now then what it cost to build the original park.
When I meant it over a million I meant like a lot you know as much as it can go like 10 million 30 million im not sure how much it is over so I said over a million...Do you think a billion lol
No matter how hard it is...Never EVER give up. The real failure is those who dont try.
Let's pretend we had 9 coasters and they cost 10 million each, that would be 90 million just for the coasters. However, we have 12 REAL (I'm not going to count Am E as two) rollercoasters. Wicked Twister at CP (similiar to V2) is 9 million while SUF was supposed to be around 12 million.
I would say that RB had to cost a hefty price along with the first inverted ride, BTR. Many smaller flats (not water rides) are around 100,000 or greater for today's prices. GD is supposedly around 7 million.
I would estimate that the park would be worth about 300 million. It may seem high, but you have to remember the shops, shows, landscaping, and restaurants in the park along with the rides.
