Early 2004 Cedar Fair purchased the park and reverted back to the park's original name, Geauga Lake Park. Within a week after the 2007 season, Cedar Fair announced that the park would be downsized. The water park would open for the 2008 season, the amusement park would not. Instead the rides and attractions would be auctioned off.

Brady Lake Park
Opened in 1891 offering picnics and pony rides for Northeast Ohioans. The park was located between Kent and Ravenna. At one point it was operated by Spiritualists who, besides amusement rides, offered séances and fortune telling. The next owners brought in big name bands. The park closed six decades after opening, a shabby gambling den run by the Cleveland mob.
