El Dorado was a 1001 Nacht built by German manufacturer Weber that was previously located at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia, USA.
History
The ride opened in 1991 at Geauga Lake and was called Mirage. After the 1999 season, the ride was removed and rethemed. It reopened under the new name El Dorado in 2001.[1] After the 2007 season, Cedar Fair announced that amusement park side of Geauga Lake would not reopen for 2008. El Dorado was subsequently dismantled and sent to Kings Dominion, where it reopened in 2009.[2]
El Dorado was removed after the 2011 season.[3] As of December 2012, the ride remained in the park's boneyard.[4]
