The Abandoned Chippewa Lake Amusement Park, Chippewa Lake, Ohio

Ok...here's an idea for a big theme park...have a section themed to look like a derelict park and have everything looking all overgrown or dilapidated...that'd be fun.

I'd have to say that the brand of paint that they chose for the Big Dipper really didn't stand the test of time. I mean it's all covered in mildew, runny and chipping off.

Here's the first drop. You can clearly see that the Big Dipper had up-stop wheels to keep the coaster on track for some airtime.

The first drop comes very close to the tunnel...when riding remember to definitely keep your hands and arms in the car or you may end up loosing them.
