Cedar Fair Says Ride's Over For Geauga Lake: Amusement Park Near Cleveland Is Demoted To A Water Park Only
(Saturday, Sept. 22, The Toledo Blade)

After trying for four years to make Geauga Lake work, Cedar Fair LP said it has pulled the plug on its struggling Cleveland-area amusement park. The park, southeast of Cleveland, will become only a water park for the 2008 season. The 430-acre site in Aurora, Ohio, has been known as Geauga Lake & Wildwater Kingdom to emphasize 40 amusement rides adjacent to the $24 million Wildwater Kingdom water park that opened in 2005. It now will be called Geauga Lake's Wildwater Kingdom, the firm said. The 40 rides, including eight roller coasters, will be dismantled and sent to some of the 11 other amusement parks that Cedar Fair owns.
