hi jason,
i think your ideas are very commendable and its nice to see so many people that care. i have very special memories of idora too; but from what i read in the paper this week the church intends on continuing with their plans for a church complex at idora. they are responsible for cleaning up the ballroom mess too. they did say that if an individual wanted to dismantle the remaining coasters and take them out of the park; they would be allowed as long as they were insured and did the work themselves. problem is who has the money to do that, even if they wanted to? i really cant see idora park or any park opening in that area.
youngstown is a depressed area and there are too many other big parks around ohio for people to go to. also conneaut park said they cant take the jack rabbit because they have enough rides already. i wish we could bring it back too; but its not likely.
as a matter of fact my husband and i drove down there from cortland to check things out and we were shocked how bad things look. so sad and deserted. it almost made me feel worse. we werent allowed way into the park but we did drive by the wildcat and actually stopped and walked up to the ballroom remains and the jack rabbit (near the parking lot). the jack rabbit is fairly good considering, but of course the wildcat is really bad. keep up your good thoughts and your good work. i think its wonderful. we should always have hope. take care. christy
