Geauga Lake, Former amusement park in Aurora, United States

The park occupied 300 acres of land with numerous roller coasters and attractions positioned around a 60-acre natural spring-fed lake in northeast Ohio.

Established in 1887 as a recreational area, the park added its first steam-powered carousel in 1889 and grew into a major entertainment destination by the 1920s.

The park transformed from a local picnic spot to an entertainment center featuring performances by renowned musicians like Guy Lombardo and Fred Waring.

The park reached its peak in 2000 when Six Flags invested 40 million dollars to add 20 new rides, including four roller coasters.

Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller set a world record in the 220-yard freestyle at the park's pool in 1926 in front of 3,000 spectators.
