Geauga Lake.


As for "new", it IS new to the park -- no PR is going to talk about some
great hand-me-down they're getting from a closing park.

Tim, I know you know that the CF marketing dept. are going to pull as
many rabbits out of the hat as possible to hype this piece of garbage.
Unfortunately, the GP won't know any better. That's why the industry
counts on us enthusiasts to tell it like it really is. :)
I'm still awaiting the official word that my home park Carowinds is
getting GL's Boomerang. Three VeCOMA's in my home park will make Ken a
very, very sad person!

Maybe they're counting what they paid for Geagua Lake and dividing it
by the number of relocatable coasters as the expenditure.
