Now that I've offended a few about my comments towards private parks, I was wondering if anyone here had ever been to BobLo Island in Amhertsburgh, Ontario? It's been closed since 1994, and though it didn't have Millenium Force, Goliath or even Son of Beast, there coasters were alright, and it was a nice park with no big line ups. If anyone has been there, I'd like to hear what you had to say.

I did not realize until now that Boblo was a part of Canada. No wonder no one heard about when it was closing, here in the US anyway. I never went there as a kid. We are from Flint and we had the Flint Park Amusement Park. My brother, his wife, their daug

I have been to boblo a few times. Once when I was about 15 and then again when I was 28. I didnt realize that the park was closed. Other than Cedar Point that was the only park in our area. The coasters were ok. But I dont think alot of people went ther

My family used to go there every year when I was a kid. It was a great place. I remember that I always had a great time there. The boat ride back from the island to Detroit was probably the best. There would be music and dancing the whole trip back.

Hey Neonviper, the park closed in a really crummy hostile take over kinda way. The park had been bought by the company that owned the Globetrotters, the Ice Capades, and had turned around many failing Six Flags. What happened is the heart behind the wan
