1973 Little Dipper

Jason Hammond's avatar

If you look closely at the 1973 Geauga Lake Park Map, you'll see that #32 is listed as Little Dipper. It is located in the future location of Cyclone. Presumably this is also a roller coaster. I do not know when it opened or closed. It's possible this was the Wild Mouse coaster but RCDB has the Wild Mouse located at Chippewa Lake Park by 1972 +/- 1 year. I don't think it was a traditional Little Dipper coaster based on the location of the station shown on the map.

Any thoughts on this?

*Gasp* That isn't the 1973 map, it's Cedar Fair's 2012 planning map. Looks like they only have to get rid of about 15 more rides to reach their goals!

Jason -

I believe it was a traditional Herschel Little Dipper model as they were very popular around that time. The Wild Mouse was located where #43, #44, and #45 are located on the 73 map. I believe the GL Wild Mouse was removed in 1970 or 1971.

Ensign Smith - you may just be right!

The only thing that seems out of place about it being a Herschel Little Dipper, is that the station should be along the side and not on the end. But, we all know how accurate Park Maps are. ;)
