 PointBuzz - Changes to Geauga Lake from being Six Flags
What I've missed at Geauga Lake the past few years has been some of the flat rides they removed when it was renamed Six Flags Ohio, namely The Rotor and that Rocketship type swing, the latter of which was one of, if not the last one operating in the country from what I read somewhere.
If Geauga Lake still has it (I heard in year's past it was on a backlot or something), I hope they'll reconsider that idea and restore such a classic flat ride.
When I used to go to Geauga Lake in year's past (before the giant expansion by Premier), the flat rides that CP didn't have were the things I enjoyed most along with the Big Dipper and water park.
