| Ohio's Amusement Parks in Vintage Postcards |
| By : David Francis, Diane Francis |
By 1912, there were 54 amusement parks in Ohio. The parks came in all sizes, and featured such attractions as the Flying Ponies carousel, the Chute-the-Chutes water ride, and the Cyclone, Racer, and Dip-the-Dips roller coasters. Some, like Clevelandís White City, seemed to be courted by bad luck from the beginning, and folded after only a few disappointing seasons. Others, like Youngstownís Idora Park, enjoyed long lives and fostered beloved memories, but eventually closed down in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. A few, like Sanduskyís Cedar Point, have grown to be considered among the greatest amusement parks in the world. But most are now forgotten.
