Conneaut Lake Park is an amusement park in Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania, USA.

History

Conneaut Lake Park did not open at all in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.[1] In March 2021, it was sold for $1.2 million to a private company, Keldon Holdings LLC. Following the sale, buildings deemed structurally unsound were demolished.[2] It reopened on July 2, 2021.[3][4]

In January 2022, the Blue Streak roller coaster was demolished. The waterpark, Splash City, was demolished a couple months later in March.[5]
