The condition of the former park....

In all honesty that is very sad to see, and in many different lights, very devastating to some.

Is that an RC helicopter view, ultralight or a drone? Sad to see the destruction....kind of apocalyptic.

Cedar Fair just needs to get some bulldozers in there and just level the ground. Kind of like what you do in RCT. The only thing they cannot do is remove Big Dipper because some mystery person owns that. I wish he/she would just sell it to another park or sell it back to Cedar Fair so they can move it to another park in the chain.

If that person still owns that coaster, Cedar Fair could have benefited from the services of a good real estate attorney.

I'd just buy the park and make my own little theme park!

Nope. Cedar Fair will doubtless restrict the property to prohibit such a use.

While I will still dream, although I won't use too much pathos on you all, for I save that in my writings. BB1, a dream weaver, not a dream maker. (Who also uses way too much rhetoric)

Ow. I'm dead now.

Then just do the DIsney approach. Create multiple fake organizations, say you're going to turn it into a strip mall, and then SURPRISE, amusement park!

Nope. The property is being offered for sale with deed restrictions preventing amusement park use.

Wow...it was hard to honestly make stuff out as its been such a long time...I wish he would have went over the full park but I'm still thankful for this...

Ugh its such a shame, my first coasters, rides, ect. All from that park right there

Why prevent a half demo-ed amusement park from ever being another amusement park again? I am surprised Skycoaster is still standing, was it sold like Big Dipper?

Two words:

Cedar Point.

Next question?

As much as I hate believing that's the answer...its sadly true

Wow. I drove by the park about 4 years ago. It looked horrible then, but I didnt expect this. This is just sad. Buildings collapsed in on themselves. 100 times worse than I thought.

At 1:30 on the video you can see a bunch of square footers? What was that part of the park? What was there?

Also, Terp, Im sure if someone offered enough money the deed restrictions could be lifted. That would probably need to be a bunch of money, but it could happen, not probable, but could...

Isn't that from thunderhawk/serial thriller

I really, truly don't think so.

Not everything is for sale.

Sad thing is, I'd pay money just go in and romp around for awhile just looking through everything and taking in everything that I was involved in as a kid

Found a decent overview picture

Would Seriel Thriller be the Yellow Ride?

I'm on my phone. If there is only one yellow ride, that is Batman: Knight Flight aka Dominator. Serial Thriller was teal and red.

Looks closely. Yep, I think that was the later Serial Thriller. They did paint it yellow. Had another name.

It was until it got repainted and rebranded thunder hawk post Cedar Fair acquisition

Yep. Thanks!

Nope. The property is being offered for sale with deed restrictions preventing amusement park use.

Yeah, I'm going to need a source on that.

Contact them and try to buy the property.

Someone here HAS.

Even if it's true, I doubt that holds up in a court of law.

Actually....

It is true, and "restrictive covenants" are routinely enforced.

Yes, I haven't heard anything more on the Big Dipper for a couple of years..not since I helped a forum member here and their partner with some legal advice on how to attempt to purchase the coaster..they couldn't raise the needed funds in time.

It's about time this property sold...

Terp, doing his thing.

Its sold!!??
