The Red House

I noticed that when you are walking on the floating bridge to Happy Harbor that there is a red house. Why is this house placed there and does, or did anyone ever live in it. If not what was it used for? Thanks in advance!!!

According to Absolutely Reliable sources, the house was being prepared as the new Spehn family residence. That way, Bill could be in the park 24 hours a day!

When Six Flags ran the park that house was used for meetings mostly for planning and develpment. You used to be able to see boxes full of blueprint rolls when you walked by. No one lives there by the way, dont know if anyone ever did, im sure someone did it even has a working kitchen and working full bathrooms. Dont know if CF uses it for anything, probably storage of some sort.

At one point it was used as housing for some of the international workers.

Haha, that was back in 2000. When all we had were Polish internationals. Good times...

I don't know how long the red house has been there but back into the 80's and presumably prior to that, the red house was the Corporate Headquarters for Funtime, Inc...which owned and operated Geauga Lake, Darien Lake in NY and Wyandot Lake in Columbus.

The house has been there for a tad over 50 years. One of the eldery ladies who lives next to the park was talkign to us one day. When her and her husband built their house, they were the only house there aside from the Red House. They had thier farm on thier side and the Red House family had thiers on the other side of the lake.

Very nice lady..

Damn!!

I thought this was a thread on jimmy hendrix.(:
