Loved hearing all the stories about my dad working here when he was younger, that of watching the pearl divers and standing in the hot summer sun during the orca shows. Wonderful video ❤
As much as I don't care for SeaWorld and as much as I'm against a lot of what they do.... I still have to admit that I would rather have a SeaWorld over apartments and whatever the hell else they're building up there... I drive by that area at least once a week because of my job and so many memories just come flooding back❤
It became worlds of adventure in 2001. Both parks were a big part of my childhood. It was so cool when six flags combined both parks! I wish Bush was able to buy the ride side. we might still have this park in NE ohio😢
I loved seaworld. Lots of memories there. Never cared to much for geauga lake as we always went to cedar point. Now I am older, my kids love animals, and my oldest loves whales and other sea life. Boy it would be nice to have a sea world near by. We did take her to florida, but having one close would be nice.
loved this video!!!!!!!!!! I went to both parks as a child. The nighttine show at sea world was sooo awesome thta nothing I have seen was copared to it. ( unless you go to florida) I rember going down slides at geaga lake as a chid soo awesome and my mom took me to sea world such faun memories that are gone. Ceder fair was its down full. Ceder point is iyts babey and custoner service at this park is hiorrid, I did one season and tat was the last horriabkle custo er service in this park and the same rides got sooooo boring. Soo horribale I miss both parks sooooooooo much.
Oh how wholesome they tried to keep the 80s-90s Poor kids now can’t turn on anything without someone or something trying to taint them 🤦🏽♀️ I miss the Geauga Lake and Sea World Six Flags never could match Geauga Lake. Yes, I know it was the same park But the nostalgia and the shows was gone Thank you for the memories ✨✨🥰
I got picked to be the orca snack during the Shamu show when I was 10 years old.. all the way back in 1998!😂 Yeah that's one I'll always remember. Not only because of that but also because that was the last trip we took my grandpa on before he passed.. he bought me one of those 5 ft long giant stuffed killer whales😂❤
So you are aware of the neglect of orcas'? And you knew that their lifespan of 100 years in the wild is cut many decades in captivity? Has your employer ever mentioned that they have emotions similar to ours? I'm sure they didn't volunteer their dirty secrets of claiming they rescue orcas when they were sending out fishing boats to capture young orcas from their moms
Now that I watched it....Geauga Lake and others like it had no chance against Cedar Point in the Dick Kinzel era. We drove the 1.5 hours west to Sea World, but never to Geauga Lake.
The story of Shouka, a killer whale transferred from France to the former SeaWorld Ohio Park after the park was sold to Sixflags, is a pretty sad one. SeaWorld took their orcas when they told the park, so Sixflags got then 9-year-old Shouka from Marineland France. She had no orca companions, and was soon moved to a Sixflags park in California. They never successfully acquired another orca to be a companion for her, and she was becoming increasingly aggressive in her small pools towards her trainers. From 2002 to 2012, she was alone. Finally, Sixflags' hand was pressured to send her to SeaWorld San Diego for her welfare, where she still lives today. Her past at Marineland France was also pretty sad and messed up, but yeah... Poor Shouka.
The nostalgia I got from watching has me in a daze. So many memories from both places when I was a kid...
I grew up very near by, if the wind was right, I could hear the seals and sea lions barking at night from my bedroom window. I miss those days.

Initially in late 2000, Sea World went to Six Flags to buy the Geauga Lake, at that point, Six Flags countered. How things could've been different?
The same could have happened in 1985 when Sea World wanted to buy Geauga Lake to combine it in one park, but those plans never happened.

It kills me how they just closed it. I spent summers there and some of my only memories of my grandma are from sea world before it was bought.

Nothing compares to SeaWorlds night show. Nothing..

Good memories for those of us that worked at Sea World of Ohio!

My aunt use to work there , probably around 94-96? She found a cat there and gave it to my family as a pet.

Very interesting, yet sad story Albino Orca. SeaWorld does have quite the dark past, maybe someday the problem will be fixed!
Lol "you can have the dolphins but we're taking our orcas!" Go figure SeaWorld wouldn't give up their orcas.. scumbags...
Starbuck, the world's highest jumping dolphin. Or so they claimed. He certainly went much higher in the air than the others.
Theres the bassproshops final boss in there? (Leviathan)
Sadly missed…Aurora Geauga Lake and beloved Sea World.
As previously commented seaworld tried to purchase geauga lake first and got a counter offer sea world took it and left
Premier parks bought geauga lake in 1995, and then six flags in 1998, so i guess in a way premier is better known as six flags, but
Cedar fair made a bad move
I got pecked in the head by a mama duck when I was 4 or 5 at sea world Ohio
