Chippewa Lake Park (fictional post-1978)

Chippewa Lake Park is an amusement & water park located in Chippewa Lake, Ohio, Medina County. It operated from 1878 through 1978, but then-owner Continental Business Enterprises closed it due to lack of attendance. In 1982, it was re-opened following it's acquisition by the current owner, Carwardine Parks.

History
In 1982, the park reopened under ownership of Carwardine Parks, it added a used Kiddie coaster from Hersheypark, a new family coaster, a kiddie ride and 3 flat rides.

In 1986, Pharaoh's Fury opened to the public.

In 1988, "Chippewa Double Trouble" was enacted, adding Carwardine River Rapids and Astral Shootout.

In 1991, the Tilt-A-Whirl was added.

In 1995, Chippewa Cannonball opened.

In 1998, StarFox: High Gear was added. At the time it was the world's first floorless coaster, and the first with on-board audio.

In 2000, the park announced that it would be removing two coasters at the end of the season: Astral Shootout and Wild Mouse. The removal of the latter caused some controversy since it was a classic, but the park later confirmed that the ride wouldn't be scrapped and would instead be relocated to another park. It reopened at a park in Paraguay in 2002, which is, ironically, the year Chippewa Lake Park also opened the ride's replacement - a Mack Wild Mouse, also named Wild Mouse.

In 2003, a "Kidspansion" occured, adding PBS Kids Castaway Cove, featuring water slides and a tipping bucket and The Nicktoons Experience, featuring a SpongeBob themed splash pad, a Fairly OddParents themed laser tag (with wands instead of laser guns) and a Rugrats/All Grown Up! themed FEC-style area with trampolines, playgrounds with slides, foam pits, a ropes course, an 18-hole mini golf course, jungle gyms, swings, and a studio where you can make your own Rugrats episode.

In 2004, Redwall: The Ride was added.

In 2005, the park added two new coasters - Chippewa Lake Beast and Double Dash Dueler.

In 2009, Launchpads opened.

In 2014, Bashkodejiibik opened.

In 2016, Emerald Hill Hypercoaster opened.
