Front seat POV (including 1/2 ramp up) from "The Big Dipper" at Geauga Lake Park - 09/10/2006. One of my favorite "woodies" - built in 1925 this ride still impresses (You actually have to ride her to know her). BTW: My brother screaming "Hi Turtle Beach" is in reference to an area of the park that previously housed the children's water park, that area has been relocated across the park and the "Turtle Beach" area (currently blocked off) is likely to be raized in the coming season(s). This is my first POV so I welcome your feedback.

Ahhhh child hood memories, I cry every time I pass by. What a shame! Ceded point aught to be ashamed ,with all the money they make They could have preserved our local history. In stead of making it history.

It's good apart from the shakiness of the camera

This was my first coaster ever i remember when i was 5 years old i rode it with my mom because i was afraid of the villain and i had my eyes closed the whole time.

I didn't read the comments, so sorry if this has already been addressed. Kennywood Park (either in West Mifflin or Duquesne), near Pittsburgh, PA, still has three wooded coasters. The Racer is a lot like the one in this video with lots of small dips. It has two trains that run parallel to each other. If you get in on the train on the left, when the ride is over, your train is on the right. The Jack Rabbit has a double dip, and the Thunderbolt squishes one rider on two banked curves.

The last time I was at Geauga Lake my back was bothering me so I figured I was gonna pay dearly when the day was over especially after I decided to make Big Dipper my sons 1st coaster because it had been mine and he was just barely tall enough so on we went. That thing threw me all over the place but the weird thing was when I went to bed that night my back felt better than it had in weeks.

@BellaCroix thank you! i was there in the 60s and knew i saw that sign saying ...the clipper!

@hypnoboy3 Depends on when the last time you were at the park. It was called "The Clipper" around the 1950's and early 1960's. Before that it was called "The Rocket" and after "The Big Dipper".
