Cedar Point and Kings Island are recognized as global destinations for thrill seekers, roller coaster junkies, and families looking for summer fun and enjoyment. However, long before record-breaking speeds and season passes, Ohio boasted a plethora of quaint picnic groves, popular trolley parks, and fun-filled amusement venues. This presentation will dive hands-up into Ohio amusement park roots and history, and queue through the turnstiles of a few of the more popular parks of pleasure's past, including Euclid Beach Park, Crystal Beach Park, Idora Park, and more!
