Some great rides but still hate the atmosphere of them and the overcrowdedness and stupid rules. Save the parks but not Six Flags. If Krispy Kreme go down, that will make USA trips pointless isn't it   _________________ My Site www.freewebs.com/big-Stevie-b/ Photo Site www.flickr.com/photos/stevie-b/collections/ RCCGB No. 2293 Back to top stealth fan Strata Poster Joined: 16 Oct 2007 Posts: 604 Location: Fareham, Hampshire Posted: Wed Feb 11, 2009 7:47 pm    Post subject: Oh, was six flags in the line-up, sorry.

Cedar Fair has also been trying to sell California’s Great America in Santa Clara, California, to the owners of the San Francisco 49ers football team for parking at its proposed stadium. In addition, the company is selling the site of the closed Geauga Lake amusement park in Aurora, Ohio, as well as land next to Canada’s Wonderland in Toronto. Cedar Fair is also cutting its annual distribution rate in an effort to reduce debt. _________________ Andy Hine is also known as NEV! RCCGB - THE Club for trips!
