Six Flags Schuyler Lake

Six Flags Schuyler Lake (formerly known as Schuyler Lake and Six Flags Rochester) is a theme park located in Geneva, New York with a Rochester mailing address. It is touted as being the world's largest amusement park.

Pre-Six Flags (1913-1990)
The park opened in May the 14th of 1913 as "Schuyler Lake" by the Schuyler family.

Schuyler Amusements, Inc.
Schuyler Amusements, Inc. (SAI) was founded in 1962. In 1978, SAI had plans to build a sister amusement park to Schuyler Lake in Corfu, New York called "Darien Lake" which opened in 1981.

Six Flags Era (1991-2010)
In 1991, SAI was acquired by Six Flags. In 1995, Six Flags phased out the Schuyler Amusements subsidiary and Schuyler Lake became known as "Six Flags Schuyler Lake" in 1999.

Cedar Fair Era (2011-2014)
In November 2010, Six Flags sold the park to Cedar Fair and numerous changes occurred at the park, mostly ride renaming and also dumping the "Six Flags" branding from the park's name.

Kennywood Entertainment era (2015-2016)
In 2015, Kennywood Entertainment bought the park from Cedar Fair.

Second Six Flags Era (2017-present)
In 2017, Kennywood Entertainment sold the park to Six Flags.

 * On July 28, 1986, the ride malfunctioned and started up early, while everyone was still getting into their seats. A 20-year-old man died when he was flung from the vehicle and broke his neck. His friend suffered a serious concussion but survived. The employees managed to shut down the ride before it caused anymore damage and it remained SBNO while it was checked for any technical problems. Eventually the ride reopened a week later.
