Anyways, should CF passes be used at Geauga Lake this summer, I would hope that those who have bought both a Pass for SFWOA and Passes for CP are given a 30 dollar refund, depending on when they purchased their 04 CP pass, for the difference between the SF and CP pass prices. Also, I would hope that Six Flags would give the SP holders an option to either give up their season pass or keep it to be used at CP and All Six Flags parks for the 04 season.($100 [direct from CP].
The Season pass situation will definitly be one to watch closely for. Now as Jef Spartan mention, because of this reason SP may not be transferable until 05. Which is a bummer for sure. But definitly makes sense. However I do remember hearing that Michigan Adventure passes were being accepted at CP shortly after the purchase that summer.
I am beginning to wonder what this may do for the actualy physical location for Cedar Fair itself. Will the company move from CP to a more central location between Cedar Point and Geauga Lake within 10 years or so, or will it remein at CP. This is a great opportunity to Separate CF and CP on the peninsula for further developement in years to come. No I am not saying there is a space problem at CP, but an ability to expand the worlds greatest park even more for future families to enjoy.
On the flip side historically CF belongs on the CP peninsula and should remain.
I don't think we'll see national commercials for awhile, but think of the possibilities. Suddenly CF can join up with other area vacation spots and event areas (Rock and Roll hall of fame, Blossom, Downtown Cleveland shopping, Lake Erie Cruises, etc...) and come up with great vacation packages. We could more than likely very well, start seeing Castaway bays sprouting up across the Northern Ohio mainly in the Cleveland area. Put out some Kissimme(sp?)/St. Cloud style commercials, and boom you have a large area to accept and hold large crouds. The year round resorts to bring in year round revenue, and the Major city to provide more to do than just some parks.
Ok so that seems a little promising, and maybe a dream. But it is possible now. I think CF has the ability to do it to.

But then again, what do I know?
That's why I suggested it as being a little promising and maybe a dream.

Regardless, it's going to take some time before real improvements are seen.
Especially considering the problems I've seen reported regarding the residents on that side not being happy about having rides built "in their back yards". I think they'd be more willing to have something small and quiet, like the cottages.

Chew on this for a minute. If SixFlags season passes are accepted at CP this year, how crowded are those midways gonna be? The SF passes are dirt cheap.
Well, that just doesn't make sense. Why would CP suddenly accept SFGAdv or SFMM or SFDL passes because they bought Geauga Lake?
There's no logic there at all.

But how would they know if they pass was gonna be used for WOA. I thought that the Six Flags season pass looked the same for every park.
They all have the same designs and use the same cards, but each one says the park name on it. It's printed in under the SF logo when the pass is made
Looking at my SFWOA pass compared to my daughter's SFA pass as I type this...

I think everyone on the ride side will probably be talked to in the coming days and determinations will be made as to whether or not they will have a role in Cedar Fair management.

I don't really see CF having to to some emergency hiring. Most of the hiring has already taken place by SF. All they really have to do is train them CF style when they come to work.

- CF has experience hiring in tight job markets. At one time, MN's unemployment rate was between 2 and 2 1/2 percent and the state literally laid off unemployment office staff!
- Free admission to CP should make a GL job a little more attractive.

Cedar Point passes should be good at all Cedar Fair parks, Geauga Lake included.
If the current thinking is something else, I hope they reconsider. It would be an excellent opportunity to "reintroduce" some folks to Geauga Lake. Folks who wouldn't otherwise come because of the bad taste they were left with. Cedar Fair is missing an opportunity if they don't allow admission for CP pass holders.
I can hardly wait to ride X-Flight when it's staffed properly, maintained properly, and folks actually know how to operate the ride.
