Geauga Lake Amusement Park Ohio Six Flags Worlds of Adventure and Roller Coaster POV

[MW3random]

Is this still here?

[Pokemvp]

@MW3random It's dead.

[sixflagsfan1113]

@robbalvey Do you have any full POVs or onrides of any of the coasters here?

[cjazzman1]

Went in '01 when i was 10. best place on the planet, but did not do many rides since I was deathly afraid of heights. However I did ride Skyscraper, Shipwreck Falls, Double Loop, Grizzly Run, Dodgems, Beaver Land Mine Ride,Raging Wolf Bobs, Big Dipper, Wild Mouse, The Wave, Silver Bullet, Bel -Aire Express. I miss Pirates 4D . R.I.P Six Flags WOA. I wish I was a child again visiting amusement parks like these.  So many have closed except Cedar Point.

[Cinestrio]

R.I.P.

[allredhead]

I went there when I was a kid! I wish I could go again :)

[sixflagsfan1113]

Awesome Song!

[sixflagsfan1113]

Dominator (Kings Dominion) was Dominator/Batman Knight Flight. Carolina Cobra (Carowinds) was Head Spin/Mind Eraser. Possessed (Dorney Park) was Steel Venom/Superman Ultimate Escape. Thunderhawk (Michigan's Adventure) was Thunderhawk/Serial Thriller. Firehawk (Kings Island) was X-Flight. Cedar Fair bought the park for $145,000,000. Total cost for buying these rides brand new is $55,000,000. They operated the park for a couple years and made more money, and more with the water park.

[badreality2]

@sixflagsfan1113 A couple was able to buy The Big Dipper, years ago. I've heard that it's still standing where the main park used to be. Any word on the final fate of the 12th oldest roller coaster in the world?

[sixflagsfan1113]

Cedar Fair probably bought this because it was a cheap way to get "new" roller coasters for their other parks, and get money for selling the older ones for scrap.

Dominator (Kings Dominion), Carolina Cobra (Carowinds), Possessed (Dorney Park), Thunderhawk (Michigan's Adventure), and Firehawk (Kings Island) were all here and ARE NOT new. Big Dipper, Double Loop, Raging Wolf Bobs, and Villian were all sold for scrapmetal.

[13gamingclan]

why did they close it

[kabibimon]

when i heard it was closing i felt like killing myself :(

[pleasedontbreakitt]

this is really an awesome park. it sucks it had to be closed down.

[i305guy]

@jumpbacktome at least that was saved by cedar fair that was my first loop coaster

[Jo4brains1]

this is like Discovery Kingdom

[i305guy]

3:19 is that the dominator before it was moved to kings dominion?

[jumpbacktome]

@i305guy Yes!

[callmemarc]

What was Firehawk, which is now at King's Island, called when it was at Six Flags? I saw it in the video, green track.

[cinciDAWGS12]

@callmemarc

X-Flight

[Coasternator]

This looks better than CP!

[dabeothic]

Wow to think all of those rides were sold to other parks, at 2:08 its called the corkscrew now but its at cedar point the dominator is at cedarpoint but its called raptor

[Sum1MakinVids]

@dabeothic the coster in 2:08 (Double Loop) was never relocated. The Dominator also operates in Kings Dominion under the same name. None of the coasters at Geauga lake were relocated to Cedar Point.

[Cinestrio]

@dabeothic I just wanna wonder, why a.)You would think they were sold to other parks. b.)Think that Dominator is Raptor, if Raptor doesn't even look like it/Dominator isn't inverted. c.)Corkscrew is old at CP, and you could tell. Plus Corkscrew looks NOTHING like double loop. How you thought all this is just weird no offense.

[immacuppycake]

i miss six flags. ):

[GJdude8612]

I don't get it. Why would they close this place? It looked really cool and had a ton of rides.

[sorasgirl13]

@GJdude8612 They closed it down because apparently Wild Water Kingdom was doing better than the actual amusement park. I got to go the very last season it was open. It was a pretty awesome place :P

[thrill124]

DANG YOU KINZEL!

[gameplayer951]

1:10 X]

[corkscrewfoley]

What's the name of this song?

[bobbinbop20]

The Child (Inside) by Qkumba Zoo

[coastermusic93]

I swear I remember them using this song in 2002 when they switched the name to sixflags worlds of adventure. By the time I actually got into rollercoasters (about 2 years after I rode Double Loop and Villain AKA: my first coasters.) The park was already closed, so I never got to ride dominator and Steel Venom. I dont have the money to go to VA or PA to ride either of them.

[NapaIndian08]

@coastermusic93 I think they did cuz i do remember seeing a six flags Marine World(now SF Discovery Kingdome) commercial with that song!!!

[TTDFan]

I miss this park so much...

[pandaluvr1994]

When did this place drop the Six Flags name?

[Cinestrio]

@pandaluvr1994 It was owned by Premier Parks from 1995-2003. In 1999 P.P. bought Six Flags, and changed their name to Six Flags Inc. They then changed all their properties to Six Flags names. So in 2000 this became Six Flags Ohio. In 2001, with SeaWorld bought, it became Six Flags Worlds of Adventure from 2001-2003. Then in 2004 it changed its name back to Geauga Lake, when Cedar Fair bought the park. And in September 2007, the idiots at Cedar Fair, closed the park forever.

[TWD98]

at 1:18 is that inversion called a rollout?

[Maverix08]

It's a rollover, not rollout.

Sidewinder

[ostriche11]

i was there! i live local :)

[jvgsjeff]

Very nice, I loved Geauga Lake. You had another video of the park on Youtube before too, I hope you'll add that back on at some point. That one was my favorite ("Arrow monstrosity," "Take the ferry across the lake," etc.) but this one is great too.

[iPodTouch411]

funny 1:41

[Atem122]

Awesome video, major props for using the sea world song haha

[eflynn22]

I went to the sea world as a kid, great emorys, I'm sure the rides were great

[Myk44]

Also was your wife/girlfriend wearing an nemesis hoody, with the original nemesis logo not the logo they have for the ride now? What a coaster anorac i can be XD

[robbalvey]

Yes...yes she was!  =)

[Myk44]

Great video Robb *thumbs up*

[eflynn22]

loved this park

[AwesomeCoasters]

strange song...

[kycruisecrazy]

did this park close up for good?

[jdoublep84]

Yeah, quite some time ago. If you Google Earth the park and rotate the camera, one view has the rides, one view just has pylons.

[xtremespeed128]

Not my favorite song. Also, it seems this is re-edited from the original vid.

[robbalvey]

No, not re-edited.

[IconOfSin88]

I actually went "Nooooo..." when the song ended. :D

[superturtle89]

The "Sea World song" = : )
