RETRO: Geauga Lake and Cedar Point old pics and press kits

[pianojohn]

While doing a purge of our house (and there is a LOT of crap here!), I found a folder of pictures I took for my photography class while in college.
Not the best pictures, but I took them in the fall of 1984 while on a day trip to Geauga Lake.

Found some more this afternoon so I am adding them on as well.

Enjoy!

Great pictures!  My first time to Geauga was 1988 during Coaster Con.  Dang I miss this place.  My friends and I considered Big Dipper one of the funnest coasters in Ohio.  Working summers at Cedar Point in the early 90s during college, my friends and I would attempt to get a day off together to other parks.  Geauga was a great break from the Point, and we didn't have anything quite as fun and classic as Big Dipper.  I remember teal-colored track with comfy yellow and green trains.

Oh that terrifying classic circle swing...  the skyride.  Arrow coasters being run with harnesses up in empty seats (as I see in your first Corkscrew picture!).  Different times!
