Aurora's Geauga Lark Park (aka Six Flags Worlds of Adventure) featured everything from roller coasters and killer whales to a Hurricane Harbor water park. This park was seriously supposed to outdo them all and did for a while. It originated back in 1887 as a humble lakeside picnic meadow and grew to become a megapark through 2007. Geauga Lake later took the name Six Flags Worlds of Adventure in 2001 when it combined its Six Flags park and the SeaWorld across the way. It took many other names since Six Flags sold it to Cedar Fair a few years later but failed to live up to its previous success. By 2007, the rides section shut down and eventually the entire park closed in 2016.
