I'm a Duran Duran fan but I'm absolutely fascinated with Patty Donahue. I have their rare 2 CD collection titled Just Desserts. I live here in Cleveland and have visited her grave a couple times. My 1st factory job was on the street next to Holy Cross. She is buried right by the hotel in the upper left hand corner of the cemetery . Fascinating life. I wonder if she ever met Kip Winger in Alice Cooper's band or Chrissy Hynde of the Pretenders. She's interviewed on You Tube on the Morning exchange. Awesome gal. The bass line in Christmas Wrapping is just mind blowing. I play bass myself.

Just Heard this song 🌲❤️✝️

Cedar Fair ruined Geauga Lake!! I saw just recently that Cedar Fair was going under, karma baby, Karma! I still don't know why SeaWorld closed down. There was absolutely nothing wrong with either one of those Parks.

I'll always be bitter, I grew up in the neighborhood right next to the park.

She was born in 1956 died 1996

I work there! I live in Richfield & got some of the story of its history. It's a centennial building, back in the early 1900s. In our area, you cannot tear down or rebuild on the property. It used to be an open air market 6 months out of the year with fresh produce, meat and essentials grown and made in our area. It became Country Counter then Fazio's before Giant Eagle purchased it in the late 90s. Also, It has a fireplace in produce area, a 2 lane bowling alley upstairs and is haunted. I work in the front end. If you notice, the "i" in "Thanks for shopping" has been painted on because they no longer make letters like that anymore. Please come visit our awesome store. It's like stepping back in time but also you get a personal shopping experience, which is no longer a thing, unfortunately.

I have 8mm of many of those rides in action in 1966 to 1971.

thats it !ready or not lol

you say its amazing one more time ima come lookin fo ya lol

this guys fkin tyo funny how many times he gonna say this is so cool its the lazy river lmfao!

I grew up in Akron in the 90’s, we used to always play on the Witches Steps back in the day

Thank you for covering this! I just moved and found out I live 20 mins away. Is the barn pretty deep within the woods? Would love to see it myself if possible!

My favorite is the ringmaster and nibbles the clown and the puppet boy Bobby Bing

I live 7 minutes from the abandoned parks. I grew up there. I met my 1st love waiting in line to ride Raging Wolf Bobs! I am so sad that my kids didn't get to experience the good times I did. Cedar Fair is a joke. 😢

I had a scary experience when I went there about 8 yrs ago. It was before they made it a park.

Everything is made so cheaply nowadays straight from China. I do not like any of the inflatables anymore. All of them have been made cheaply and they look cheap.

Chippewa lake park closed for the season in 1978 and never reopened

If you want to capture someone's attention - whisper.

Can’t wait to take the kids tonight 😊

Our cottage was on Big Injun Trail. Lots of memories.

Favorite place.

Cedar Point Did this to Aurora Ohio. Out of Greed.

It's Pathetic that Cedar Fairs Did this to Ohio. I refuse to go to cedar Point. Or any Park they own. Ever again

Sad what became of that place compared to what it was 50 years ago, when i was there last

Appreciate this behind the scenes video. Bloodview is one of my all-time favorites. The themed weekends are a quiet stroke of brilliance. If I lived closer I’d be there multiple times each season.

He sounds like he's walking up hill the whole video, all the heavy breathing. I thought he might have an asthma attack or something.

Truly fascinating to think when I was at Wildwater Kingdom as a kid, all the old SeaWorld buildings were rotting away behind the scenes. This park was truly massive.

I think that use to be Reni Regos

Remember the Roder and Mr Roder who road that ride so many times he wasn't right in the head anymore lol .

The green and white building was a ballroom and roller rink. Back in the old days there was the beach and swimming,

Why u whispering dude so annoying

39:22 I've lost count of how many times that i walked through that security building over a period of 10 seasons (1995-2005). It brings back good memories of how things used to be. I sometimes wonder what it would have been like if Anheuser Busch had not sold the Sea World portion to Six Flags. Hopefully they'll find a way to preserve some of what remains.

That's definitely a mcdonalds youd expect to get a $5 meal from lol jk

I grew up an hour from Geauga Lake. Sea World was a favorite weekend trip for our family 2-3 times a summer in the 70's early 80's. Seeing some of my favorite childhood memories reduced to this is just depressing. As I get older I begin to understand what my grandmother meant when she said she had lived too long.

No way a rockstar

My mom has a pearl Ring from Sea world and I have been there so many times as a kid we lived 30 miles away from that place Wow that's cool.😂

I feel Cedar Fairs purposefully bought Geauga Lake purposefully to sink it.

Why were you whispering?

glad to see you made the adventure!!!! That barn right??!!

Cedar point was the last owners of the property and they haven't been on the property in many many years. As far as I know there are absolutely no employees of any kind for any reason on the property. Only wildlife preservation people.

Sad and cool to see my childhood 😢

Great videos, they are appreciated. I do have one question, have the concrete footers been removed from the lake on the Grizzley Run section yet ?

✍Hello... I love my GE in Barberton and its not really as big as some of the other stores but I will say I love grocery shopping in smaller grocery stores. I grew up in the 40-50S and then got married in 60s and grocery stores were just that, a grocery store not a grocery store with a cafe, coffee shop, pharmacy, or whatever. Don't get me wrong the convenience is nice but shopping in these big stores can be exhausting and especially when they decide to change things up. God forbid you can find what you're looking for !! I'll just stick with my Barberton Giant Eagle store 💕 Bye

When did this close??? We took our family back in the 80's. It was simular to California's Sea World! What will be there now? Or was it sold?

*Whispers*.......what?

This is bittersweet to see what’s left really sad to see what it’s come to. This is what greed creates unfortunately we lost amazing parks that were a staple for many generations and now it’s lost to just memories 😢. So glad I got to grow up and experience these places it was absolutely educational and fun for everyone!!!! Invest money into the old school parks it’s not always about bigger faster rides but variety and selection for everyone to enjoy what happened to those days let’s bring it back!!!!😢

They tore down the A&P in Wareham Mass. It was all original from the late 50's. Still had wooden floors. 😢

🤩🙏

I used to go Geauga Lake and Sea World every Summer with my aunt and uncle in 80s and 90s. Such good memories. I went back once when it was Six Flags and once when it was owned by Cedar Fair. It wasn't the same. I wish Anheiser Busch would have bought it.

Great video. I drive by every day and always wondered what it looked like inside.
