ABANDONED Geauga Lake Final Flight before Big Dipper Demolished @uavpilot4426

UAVpilot Aerial footage of Geauga Lake Amusement Park prior to the demolition of the last standing ride, the Big Dipper--demolished October 17th, 2016.

Geauga Lake ended its 2007 season on September 16th, 2007, then 5 days later, Cedar Fair Entertainment Company announced abruptly and without notice that it would not reopen for the 2008 season. Some believe Cedar Fair's original intentions for buying the park were to shut it down, as to eliminate competition with its larger park, Cedar Point, some 70 Miles West of Aurora, in Sandusky, Ohio.

Despite closing the park, Cedar Fair maintained the the water park portion, called Wildwater Kingdom, until a statement in August of 2016 released by Cedar Fair that Wildwater Kingdom would close permanently at the end of its 2016 season. Its final day of operation was September 5, 2016.

The Big Dipper, which is the wooden roller coaster present in this footage, opened as Sky Rocket for the 1925 season, and later was renamed to Clipper in the late 1940s, and finally the Big Dipper in 1969 after Funtime, Inc. purchased the park.
