Geauga Lake.
The end of an era.
The dismantling of 119 years of a legend.
The closing of another valuable cultural center.
Going too far?
Quite possibly.
But it is a sad day.
Cedar Fair could have at least given us a chance to ride the coasters one last time.
View the (truly horrific) live shows again.
Eat the overpriced and unhealthy food we craved before shutting the gates for good.
What a shame.
Why, someone may ask, would you prefer run-down little Geauga Lake when Cedar Point is a mere 70 miles away?
When you enter Cedar Point, you are instantly aware just how little time is in a 12 hour day. You rush from one ride to another, barely maintaining conversation over the the sweltering heat. Your legs ache by 6 pm and you end the day with very little enthusiasm and patience.
Geuaga Lake, while not offering nearly the same amount of "thrills", provided this relaxed "no pressure" atmosphere that was easy to soak in. The lines, if any, were never long. And you could guarantee you weren't being judged by fellow attendees.
Where will we go for cheap thrills now?

Cheap thrills cannot be found in the paper bag with your cat... I can tell you that much.
