They redid the water park, changed the names of some of the rides, did general improvements, and still haven't caught much of a return on it.
Umm it is not like the "lack of return" was unexpected. Sure they probably would have liked a higher attendance and such but Six Flags destroyed that park reputation and it takes more than one season to gain people back. You change the park's name several times and it will confuse people. You try operating a park that was poorly run all around for a few years - its going to take a few years to gain "respect" back from customers who don't know the difference between CF/SF ownership. Cedar Fair didn't do anything wrong with Geauga Lake(ok maybe a few, but for the most part its been headed in the right direction), it is just taking longer than expected to win back people from the Six Flags era.
I think I'd like to see them buy Holiday World in Santa Claus, IN. Just because of the new woodie they're currently building, Voyage... 24 seconds of airtime on that baby. It breaks a few other records as well.

Kennywood in Pittsburgh is a great little park, and I would love to see it in CF hands. On my last visit, my biggest problem was the employee dress code and overall demeanor. Sweatpants and t-shirts will never be an amusement park uniform in my book.
