  • Blue Streak forever

    I was a child growing up next to Conneaut Lake Park, then a ride operator for 3 important summers, and finally one of the few in negotiations to buy it during covid. I could talk forever about it. Thanx for all that you do. ~ Tim Chizmar

  • More Elizabeth please!

    Kris and Elizabeth have so much better chemistry. Cliff always sounds like he’s trying to be a disk jockey and it just doesn’t work.
