Geauga Lake: Worlds Once Adventured

A beloved Ohio amusement park with 120 years of history behind it shut down seemingly overnight. With the park's ownership changing hands multiple times over the years, Geauga Lake certainly went through its fair share of transformations, including being at one point the world's largest amusement park. Discover the full story of this park and how Six Flags, and later Cedar Fair, tried to mold it to match their own visions. How did it go from the largest park in the world to nothing but a small water park before being completely abandoned? Hear the whole story now with Geauga Lake: Worlds Once Adventured, Episode 2 of Amusement Anthology. Researched, written, narrated, and edited by Jonathan Baker.
