I wonder what they'll manage to salvage and send elsewhere, and what
will go onto that great scrap heap in the sky.

Yes, but there's about a million reasons for Chippewa Lake not selling, including possible mafia ties with the previous ownership of the land. It wasn't that...

Cedar Fair should be totally reprimanded for closing down Geauga Lake. What a terrible waste to run JUST a waterpark out in the middle of nowhere. I honestly...
