Geauga Lake opened in 1888. It existed in eastern Ohio for over 100 years offering guests thrills and fun - a great small park. In 2000 Six Flags bought the park and rechristened the park 'Six Flags Ohio'. In 2001 Six Flags also bought Sea World Ohio which was situated right across the lake, combined the two parks and gave it the moniker of 'Six Flags Worlds Of Adventure'. Six Flags Worlds Of Adventure gave visitors the best of both worlds. Top notch thrill rides on the old Geauga Lake site and wildlife fun of the former Sea World site. This lasted for three seasons until suddenly and surprisingly, Six Flags sold the park to Cedar Fair (owners of several parks including local competitor, Cedar Point). The sale went down less than two months before the 2004 season was to begin.

Cedar Fair began putting their own stamp on the park immediately and for that reason, I chose to keep the Geauga Lake gallery seperate from the Six Flags Worlds Of Adventure Gallery. This gallery will serve as a current representation of Geauga Lake while the Six Flags Worlds Of Adventure gallery will serve as a time capsule of that 4 year period in the park's history.

Check out the Six Flags Worlds Of Adventure gallery if you're looking for media from that time frame.
