After reading many posts on here, I would like to add my own 0.02 on where certain rides should go.
Top Thrill Dragster: Should go to Michigan's Adventure. They don't have anything there to draw people except for Shivering Timbers and an awesome waterpark. Needs more thrills.
Blue Streak: Should go to Knott's Berry Farm. They need another great woodie there besides Ghostrider...something that doesn't jerk you around so much.
Cedar Downs: Would look great at Dorney Park, right next to the Whip. Might as well keep the old rides together!
Maverick: Should go to Worlds of Fun. They need something newer and different there.
Magnum: Move this one to Canada's Wonderland. They need a good steel thrill coaster there.
Millenium Force: Let's move this one to Geauga Lake, right where X-Flight and Steel Venom used to be. This will provide a great view of 43!
Gemini: Let's put this one at King's Island, in place of the Racer. Racer is a little too rough, and anyway they already have enough wooden coasters with Beast and SoB.
Disaster Transport: This one can just go in the dumpster.
Anyway...on a more serious note...
Many of you are jumping the gun on the future of Geauga Lake. Christ, many of you already have all of their rides evenly distributed.
While it's OK to state your opinion, don't give anyone any dumb ideas. Geauga Lake has been around a very long time. Removing that park would be like removing a piece of history.
Many of you are saying "I'm through with that park since they got ride of XF or SV. Now I have no reason to go".
There are many reasons to still go. How about supporting this piece of history? Any trip can be fun if you're with the right people. Record-breaking coasters are not necessarily needed to have a great time!
(And keep in mind, Maverick still does not break any records.)
We don't need a thread on this, especially ridiculous assertions that a $25 million ride should go to a park that gets 600,000 visitors a year.

And prior to Six Flags over aggressive expansion of the coaster count, they had only 5 coasters. Which was fine for what they were. Now Cedar Point is slowly moving back to that number. Six Flags tried to make a park to compete with Cedar Point, and thought, mistakenly, that the solution was a ton of coasters. So they added 5 coasters between 2000 and 2001, which was about 5 coasters too many.
No Cedar Point is correcting the mistake. And the best way to do that is remove the mistakes. That doesn't mean they are bad coasters, it means they don't belong.
I still haven't been to the park, but I do want to make it regardless of what rides are still there or have been moved elsewhere.
Goodbye MrScott
