Geauga Lake (fictional post-2007)

Geauga Lake (formerly Six Flags Ohio, Six Flags Worlds of Adventure and Geauga Lake & Wildwater Kingdom) is a theme park in Bainbridge Township and Aurora, Ohio, United States that is owned by Carwardine Parks. Established in 1887 in what had been a local recreation area adjacent to a lake of the same name, the first amusement ride was added in 1889, and the park's first roller coaster – later known as the Big Dipper – was built in 1925.

History
Due to Cedar Fair thinking that three theme parks in one state is too much, they sold it to Carwardine Parks in September of 2006 for the 2007 season.

Lead-Up to Carwardine's Buyout (2006-2007)
During the last day of their Halloween event, the park has visible signs relating to the Carwardine Parks buyout, including three listing three of the coasters new names, Blast from the Past, Thunder Jet and Toad Patrol: Race Through Toad Hollow.

Over December of 2006, the website has announced three more coasters' new names - Blue Streak Express, Coast to Coaster and Raging Wolf.

Dominator's new name (Komodo Dragon) was announced on January 11, 2007.

Carwardine Parks era (2007-present)
In 2007, Geauga Lake received some new flat rides and a revamped kiddie land with some new rides. Blue Streak Express was also relocated to the kiddie area, replacing the nearby Time Warp flat ride.

In 2008, Buckeye Booster was added. Also, it was announced that the carousel would be moving to a Cedar Fair park (albeit with it being restored first), with a new carousel taking it’s place. The aforementioned Cedar Fair park was later revealed to be Worlds of Fun, a park that Cedar Fair thought was deserving of it’s own large, vintage carousel. (It’s been said that Cedar Fair and Carwardine Parks have been in talks about this ever since Carwardine purchased Geauga Lake)

In 2010, Catapult was added to the waterpark section and a new carousel was added.

In 2018, SuperVillain and Redwall: Chase for Victory opened.

In 2019, Digimon DigiRyder opened.

In 2021, Race of the Yoshis opened.

In 2022, Maggie Simpson's Adventure opened.

In 2023, Geauga Scooters opened.

Trivia

 * This is one of the few Carwardine Parks not to use the "Serpentine" font.
 * "SuperVillain" was codenamed "Steel Hero" in early concepts.
 * The "Carwardine River Rapids" ride is different than the "Carwardine River Rapids" rides at most of the other Carwardine parks, due to being an acquired park.
 * Several of the parks decor, mascot costumes, trash cans, arcade machines, and rental electric scooters were moved from the then recently sold off Coney Island and Kennywood to save on costs.
