I almost posted this yesterday, but I knew you´d be on it. It´s a real
shame. I think it´s unlikely to be nearly as long as 11 years, too. I
wonder what will happen to their gigantic carousel.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets “Geauga Lake”’d after this summer is over. On their Facebook page, they’re still in l”limited operations” mode - water park and kid rides only. No parks are still doing that by this time of year, not a good sign.
I never got to go to this park. I guess Cedar Fair parks’ new additions over the next few years will be rides from CGA.

Sir Henry’s Haunted Trail:
***TRAIL ANNOUNCEMENT***
"Rapture of the Deep"
The fishing town of Portsmouth's successful market has been legendary for as long as anyone can remember. Unbeknown to outsiders, over a century ago the town made a deal with a Sea Witch to sacrifice a human life to her sea creature every year in exchange for a lucrative harvest and favorable seas. Unfortunately, due to Captain Jonah's return from the dead, the townsfolk missed the day of the sacrifice and now the Sea Witch has unleashed her wrath. Her sea creature has been released along with it's spawn and together they are swallowing Portsmouth brick by brick. Will you join the townsfolk at the bottom of the ocean? Or will you escape the clutches of the Kraken?
