The big rumor throughout the 2007 season at Geauga Lake was that the park would be losing another coaster, most likely the Dominator floorless coaster. I didn't actually call it by name. But while we had heard the rumors, what actually happened at the end of the 2007 season surprised all of us, when the park was closed entirely, forever.When is it gonna come down?
Will it be moving to land?
Will it be moved to the Farm?
Is it going to Michigan?
You know they can't hold out forever
On the Internet it must be true
It's not gonna stay on the Geauga swampland
This coaster that's painted in yellow and blue
So goodbye yellow track ride
On the shores of Geauga Lake
In the wetlands beside Raging Wolf Bobs
It's taking its leave of the swamp
Going to some other Cedar Fair park
Leaving Geauga Lake's side
Oh the suits have decided the park survives
Without the yellow-tracked ride
What do you think we'll ride then?
You know we will all complain
It takes more than a couple of waterpark add-ons
To bring them in the gates again
Or maybe they'll get a replacement
There's plenty of rides to go 'round
Coasters, and flat-rides and wet stuff
Vying for patrons and lines on the grounds
So goodbye yellow track ride
On the shores of Geauga Lake
In the wetlands beside Raging Wolf Bobs
No longer will it Dominate
Going to some other Cedar Fair park
Leaving Geauga Lake's side
Oh the suits have decided the park survives
Without the yellow-tracked ride
