Nostalgia is a wonderful thing.
There’s nothing better than basking in fond memories of the past—even if it is a little bittersweet. Although you can’t catch a ride on Cedar Point’s Wildcat or get some popcorn on a shopping trip to Hills anymore, it’s always fun to remember what life was like in Ohio in the 90s. Here are 10 things you’ll likely remember if you lived in Ohio in 90s:

Geauga Lake Amusement Park has stood abandoned since 2007, after a long history of beloved family vacations (since 1887) and multiple expansions and redesigns.
Once a neighbor to Geauga Lake from the late 60s until 1997, this beloved aquatic park left Ohio with nothing but memories of fun-filled sea themed days.
