Last Chippewa Lake Park Tour

Andrew — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 22:07:40 +0000

Looks like the last Chippewa Lake Tour will be held tomorrow from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM at 1 Main Dr, Chippewa Lake, OH. There’s not much left to look at, but it will give you one last chance to say goodbye.

The Big Dipper roller coaster was demolished earlier this week (shown above) along with Stand A. I heard that the hotel was also planed to be demolished this week, but I haven’t heard anything to confirm this.

So this is it, a final goodbye to Chippewa Lake Park. Be sure to tell all of your friends about this so they too can get one last look!

Possibly the Last Chippewa Lake Park Tour

Looks like possibly the last Chippewa Lake Park tour will be on May 15 from 10am to 5pm. Here is more information taken from our source in the Chippewa Lake Park Group…

FYI, everyone, the park will be open for tours one more time, possibly the last, on May 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. or so. Depending on just when construction begins, this could be your last chance. They expect to bring in the dozers pretty soon. Once work begins, it will be called a job site and there will be no visitors. I’ll see what I can find out about the track sections, but I don’t think they have made up any at this time.
