Yeah. The dark ride was especially a loss. Someone made money on selling the park. the capitalist way I guess. The good news is it gave more customers to family kingdom which would be a greater loss if closed.
It was a wonderful little park. I expect they expected to get a lot of money off the property. Then 2008 "mini market crash' hit and nobody was spending money on much. I remember going years ago and riding their corkscrew, I went 3-4 times total.
Pavilion was centrally located and had a lot for families beyond bars and such. Hard Rock was amazing on paper. I think if it were smaller closer to the ocean and a cheaper entry it could have expanded. People were on the way to or from the Beach and an expensive theme park might be a literal and figurative hard stop on that beach weekend vibe. It was cool too, though I'll miss Pavilion more.
Well I think they just had plans that didn't work out. I assume the property owners made a profit, its business just like Conneaut Lake. Maybe they wouldn't have survived the covid years, maybe the closure sent more visitors to Family Kingdom and helped them stay afloat better. Though I'm a coaster fan the haunted house was a bigger loss to me.
I never heard of anyone tearing amusement park down it was perfectly ran well
That was a fun place

This still makes me so upset this place was huge along with the old Hard Rock Park
