Ferris Wheel At Geneva On The Lake
Posted by LOTGK on May 16, 2010
A riders view of the Ferris Wheel at Geneva On The Lake, Lake Erie, Ohio. The Ferris Wheel, one of the original rides at the now defunct Erieview Park, now resides behind the Old Firehouse winery. Rides are $2.75 each. This is the only promised attraction of “The Landing” that debuted back in Spring of 2007.
Have a look at the beautiful sunset over the lake as the Ferris wheel rotates quickly around.

Geneva on the lake is a former shell of itself. The amusement park was a fun time to spend a day there. I’m so sad that only one ride remains.
LOTGK said
It sucks actually. Now there is just dirt and mud where the park used to stand. And it doesn’t look like they have any plans for the lot either. It’s been four years now.

Dude, is that supposed to be going that fast. I thought they were supposed to spin slowly and give you time to rock back and forth. This one looked all business.
LOTGK said
Yea, I noticed that as well. It was spinning really fast. Since Patrick was the only rider, maybe they didn’t slow it down.

The Ferris Wheel at GOTL was auctually one of the first that was made to be an “Amusement” ride, rather than a “Pleasure” ride, thats why it goes so much faster than others! I love this video! My family has been going to Geneva on the lake every year since my Grandma was a kid. We stayed in a house that you could auctually see from the ferris wheel this year, it was great!

I did not know that about the Geneva Ferris wheel. thanks for the info. And yes, there are plenty of nice cabins, cottages, and houses to lease up there. Affordable as well. Thanks for reading and commenting.

I hate Ferris Wheels. The apex down kills me every time, it’s not so bad when they put them in reverse, but in forward I’m doing all I can to not look like a puss. It’s pretty bad that at sunset you’re one of two people on it, you’d think that would be one of their busiest times of the day, just with the dinner crowd from the winery.

Exactly Freaksmack, Only one rider at sunset. And I am not fond of Ferris Wheel’s either. That was my son filming as I was sitting on a park bench humming the tune to Jethro Tull’s Aqualung song.

That was certainly a beautiful view. A great place for a ferris wheel. Come over to my blog, I have an award for you.
LOTGK said
Why thank you.

I have lived in Geneva on the lake for 20 years and it would be the last place on planet earth I would want to visit on a vacation.
I would actually choose Somalia over this place, unless you’re into drunks, druggies, rednecks, thieves, liars, and a do nothing police force.
The amusement park mentioned is an overpriced joke, as is everything else.
It’s a low class tourist trap with nothing to offer unless you’re a street junkie, or an alcoholic.
This is the God’s truth. AVOID THIS HOLE! You’ll thank me.
LOTGK said
And you lived there for 20 years…..
LMAO Dude.
Thomas said
Yea 20 years.
I’m disabled and have property here.
No family living, just me and my disabled wife, and our cats and dogs.
I’d move but my disability stops me from lifting or moving around pgysically, and my wife has heart disease, diabetes, and just beat cancer.

However, I beg to differ. In the Summer, it is always packed with people that travel to Geneva on the Lake. Eddie’s Grill is always packed. Always. And none of the patrons or workers look like drunks, druggies, rednecks, thieves, or liars. Perhaps your point of view is merely jaded from your position in life.
We have always had a great time there. The food was always good, and the people there quite friendly.
Thomas said
Yes I imagine that many of the people who come from outside GOTL are very nice.
I’m glad you’ve had a great time here.
Maybe it’s as they say, “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence”.
