I went to visit 2 years ago. Amazing place. Are the owners still letting people come in and take pictures. Is it even still there?

So what your saying is that none of the roller coasters are left standing? I am interested in going and looking at the grounds, any information would be appreciated! I was also wondering if any hauntings have been reported there?

I was just there last Friday, March 18, 2011 and Andrew is correct. The following are still there:

I think that the Ticket Booths, Tumble Bug, and the Ferris Wheel are the only thinks left standing.

I have current pictures of the gates, ferris wheel and ticket booths if you are interested in using for your site.

We don't own the land and have no pull with getting people in. 95% of the structures in the above pictures have been demolished: The Coaster, the Bathhouse, and I think Stand A (Hamburger Factory). I think that the Ticket Booths, Tumble Bug, and the Ferris Wheel are the only thinks left standing. You can try to contact the owners at info@chippewalandingohio.com.

My time at Chippewa was about 1937 thru 1952. It was the best time of my life and I still remember so many names of summer friends. We owned the cottage right next to the bathhouse. My brother Jerry worked at my grandmother’s Penny Arcade. After high school I worked as a waitress in the “dinning room”. Names I remember are Ronnie Hall, Spanky Deemer (sp?) Marlene at the Putt Putt Boats, I remember my dad putting me on his shoulder to see Tommy Dorsey band…And there were all the characters who worked the rides and games. Then then our partying at the Bucket O’ Blood after the park closed at night. I am Kitty Falls, now Slover, living in Ft. Worth, Tx. Wonderful memories.

This is the first time I’ve had the pleasure of seeing this site on Chippewa Lake Park. Good job!
My summers at Chip were from 1955 (age 10) until after I graduated from High School.
I learned a lot growing up and working in this little park.
Thanks for putting all this together.
