I remember the anxious excitement I felt on days leading up to a visit to Conneaut Lake Park. It was so much better than Waldamweer. I loved the Wild Mouse, Blue Streak, Hell Hole, Round-Up, the Whip, Flying Scooters, Devils Den, Dracula's Cave and just the atmosphere of the park.
The Blue Streak frightened me as a kid. The Hell Hole from my memory was almost the same as the Rotor at Cedar Point only MUCH better. The floor dropped a good 8 or 10 feet and stayed down for a while while you stuck to the wall. I used to ride upside down. The ride ops eventually disallowed this. I still remember hearing "ecology boy to the hell hole" over the park PA system many times. Dracula's Cave was a Dark ride near the park entrance, next to where the ferris wheel is now. The srambler was evetually moved indoors into what was once the fun house. The ride became called the Ultimate Trip which was an indoor Scrambler in the dark with a light show and loud rock music. It was awesome. There used to be a kiddie land across from the devils den that had small kiddie rides, a small coaster and a pony ride.
