Once Upon a Coaster<p>Big Dipper at Geauga Lake was a John A. Miller designed wooden roller coaster that operated at the park from 1925 to the park's closure in 2007. The out-and-back coaster reached topped heights of 62 feet and top speeds of 35 MPH.</p><p>The coaster sat abandoned until it was finally torn down in 2016. It's a shame it wasn't able to be relocated.</p><p>📸 coasterimage.com | c. 2002</p><p><a href="https://opencoaster.net/tags/RollerCoasters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RollerCoasters</span></a> <a href="https://opencoaster.net/tags/coasters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coasters</span></a> <a href="https://opencoaster.net/tags/ThemeParks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThemeParks</span></a> <a href="https://opencoaster.net/tags/woodenCoaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>woodenCoaster</span></a> <a href="https://opencoaster.net/tags/ohio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ohio</span></a> <a href="https://opencoaster.net/tags/defunctCoasters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>defunctCoasters</span></a> <a href="https://opencoaster.net/tags/BigDipper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigDipper</span></a> <a href="https://opencoaster.net/tags/geaugaLake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geaugaLake</span></a></p>
