Could they close the park?

My daughter suggested that they might make more money selling all of that lake front property.Any thoughts on that?

Point the first: It's a hugely successful business. Over the long term, they make a lot more money renting out the property on a nightly basis than they could *ever* make off the real estate.

Point the second: The last time someone proposed doing that, the State almost seized the property by eminent domain to create a new State park.

That is good to hear.I needed to talked of the ledge :)

This is not a news topic. Moved to general.

One does not generally buy businesses to close them down.

It's your site,you make the rules.

I can just see the Geauga Lake conspiracy theories starting up again. :)

This is a pretty stupid question. They would never do this.

Really, Stupid?

Google Riverview Park in Chicago.It was a Chicago landmark.It was razed to the ground.

Think about how much alone it would cost to destroy everything.

You're probably right(I hope) but it can happen .I think it will depend on how much sucess they have running the Park.

Anything can happen, just look at Boblo Island. I know that Boblo isn't/wasn't comparable to Cedar Point but I bet 30 years if you asked Windsor and Detroit residents if they ever thought that the amusement park would be razed and become a high-end housing development they wouldn't think so.

I don't think they will Close the Park. Why did they buy the Paromount Parks? That was so Stupid to LOSE more Money. I like Soak City but people don't go there all yr around when it is Cold. In the near Future put a Casino there, and the Hotels will be Packed. The people that like to Gamble will get some money back, and there will be more Attedence at Cedar Point.Keep the Park Clean and more Discounts, and it still will be the BEST PARK in the WORLD!!!

I agree,casinos and CP...great money making combo.

I don't think they will close the park and I really hope they don't, but unfortunately I thought the same thing about Astroworld. :(

Keeping everything crossed.That is our one and only vacation spot.

You have nothing to worry about.

Now I feel much better:)

What universe do some of you live in?

Is part of your job as moderator is to insult people?

You should be happy that we take the trouble to visit your site.You need to learn something about public relations .(and courtesy)

Is the peninsula not a Landmark?
