I agree it's a great little park, and if it either recreated the old Ravine Flyer or built another classic woodie or two, it could be just like Holiday World. I wish I could have ridden the old Ravine Flyer. The pictures I've seen look awesome. It started out in the park, then crossed over the highway and roamed around the woods on the far side for a while before returning over the highway and finishing up with an intense triple helix into the brake run. Off and on there are rumors they're trying to recreate it, but it's always "a few years off."
Back in the fifties Waldameer had one of the nation's top miniature golf courses and one of the first log flume rides anywhere. The boats rode most of the way in a flume sunk into the ground, winding through the golf course and the restaurant's outdoor patio, then climbed the lift for the drop.
They had a great ferris wheel with views of Lake Erie, and their Bumper Cars, Tumble Bug and Loop the Loop were among the best anywhere.
Waldameer also brought in top acts and bands to their dance hall, and had that staircase leading down to the beach.
So it really has a strong history. It was a great park before Cedar Point and Geauga Lake began growing, and it had consistent crowds because before the interstates the whole western half of Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia vacationed at Erie for those 14 miles of beautiful beaches and great fishing. In the evenings, they'd all go to Waldameer.
