 Review of Dominator @ Geauga Lake
0 Rating Posted by: bb_dg on 6/30/2004 2:09:00 PM
I really did not like this ride at all. I know I might sound crazy but this was extremely rough. I rode front seat and found the ride to be very bumpy. The train was also shaking pretty badly, to the point where i was leaning forward off of the seat. I had pretty high expectations for this coaster and thought the layout was great but i couldnt get past this roughness. Maybe it was because I was the only person on the train or maybe it was some bad wheels... I dont know. What I do know is that this is the single roughest B&M I have ever been on.

I had a bad ride on this once last year, too. But I also had many, many remarkable ones. Maybe you hit it on a bad day.

Just one little question...you were the only one on the train? Last year there was a 15-30 minute wait at least for this coaster with it efficiantly running two trains. Good review though...you stated your reasons for the rating perfectly.

Thats sorta cool...good for you and everyone else involved in ACE, but a real loss to GLs cash flow. I would imagine the park should be busy this weekend for the 4th if the weather cooperates. If the attendance doesnt start picking up, that tells you CF really needs to put money into improving the park..

That probably wont happen...the park has endless space, 10 coasters, a free waterpark, and a large kiddie area. The reason for the decrease of attendance was mainly because of how SF poorly advertised the park. On their advertisements, theyd say the park is better than Cedar Point. They said that from the 2002-2003 seasons. Of course people decided to check it out, and when they got there, they were dissapointed in the cleanliness/poor customer service/ upkeep of the park. Once they said that about being better than CP, people saw there was no competition. The park needed so many improvements. Attendance dropped because of that, no big attractions such as coasters were added since 2001, and the weather was very poor. Because of SFs dumb moves, they had to sell the park.

With smart advertising, major additions, and alot of improvements, CF could get many, many guests back just like SF did in 2000, the parks booming year...
