R.I.P - White Water Landing 1982-2005

I got to ride WWL this summer and I thought it was great, The drop was really cool too, It was a little wierd though.

Hopefully whatever ride they put in next will out-do it.

I was at the point last night and I was able to ride one of the last canoes around 8:00. The whole mood surrounding the area was relatively grim. I saw Tony and Tyler in the canoe with the contest winner. It was interesting to watch the last canoe go and sad at the same time. The only thing that I can hope is that Cedar Point had good merit to take out such a classic family ride. They better be putting in a award winning ride for everyone.

Not this year.

Got my final ride on it last night. They even had sneak peaks taking pictures of it.

Seriously, I'm glad to hear that the Sneak Peaks folks were exploiting the moment. I bet they sold a bunch of those photos. Whoever thought up that idea should receive a raise.

I got my last ride at about 4:00 sunday. Nice ride. R.I.P.

I was in the last boat before the contest winner. Kind of fitting because I was the second person ever to ride wwl when it opend years ago.

This is a sad day for me, that ride brings back many memories most good....some bad.

The good.....

All the times I brought a date on that ride(the closest thing to a tunnel of love that cp had). All the memories of my family together on the ride. All the memories of running back to the entrance to ride it again.

The bad.......

Working on the ride a few years back. It was the most boring job you could ask for...also the coldest.

It was the only water ride that didn't get you wet. I couldn't have asked for more. Rest in peace my dear old friend.

I think the ride is called Sir Rub a Dub Tubs. Whatever the heck it is called. That ride does not get you wet. Like I have said in the past: I am a Starta$$. :)

I'm going to miss that view from the top. There was a great view of the entire park, and Sandusky Bay and beyond. Best of all, you were up there for 1 minute 15 seconds.

My son and I have ridden WWL more than any other non coaster at CP. It was truly our favorite "other" ride. It was relaxing.

I've seen countless families with young children on WWL. It was one of the only rides in the park the entire family could ride together.

I'm actually having a very difficult time accepting this change. I'm afraid the family crowd will not bother with Frontier Town anymore, and that could lead to the demise of Antique Cars after next season, which would open up even more space for the big bang everybody's expecting to go in there.

I'm really hoping CP bulids another flume type ride somewhere really soon. I know WWL had a humongous footprint, but a more condensed flume could be built that could be just as fun.
