  • The Retreat at Geauga Lake
    THE RETREAT AT GEAUGA LAKE Kate Jackson ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To my parents who grew up going to Geauga Lake and also took me when I was a child. Your nostalgia of this park, are what inspired this project. Thank you for your unending love and support. I love you both so much and I hope this project brings some justice to this park. To my God, who has given me far more grace and mercy than I could ever hope to deserve. To my professors, whose guidance and support has been invaluable throughout this entire process. TABLE OF CONTENTS 03 History 6 Background 8 Timeline 009 Site 11 Context 13 Demographics 15 Site Conditions 017 Design 21 Design process 22 Abstract 23 Site Plan 29 Floor Plans 45 Section 47 Details 058 Appendix 60 Bibliography 061 Signatures 2 3 HISTORY SITE HISTORY Originally named Giles Pond, after settler Sullivan Giles, Geuaga Lake became a scenic destination to visitors of Aurora, Ohio. In the 1880’s this land became designated as picnic space, dance hall, and cottages for vacationers to enjoy. In 1887, the park opened under the name Geauga Lake. The name itself comes from the Native American word “Sheauga” which means raccoon. Before the turn of the 20th century, the park expanded to include small rides, roller rink, photo gallery, billiard hall, and bowling alley, and a hotel on the far side of the lake. In the 1920’s the park saw the erection of the park’s first roller coaster, the Big Dipper. Overtime, the park changed hands, and SeaWorld opened across the lake.

We just were told by our auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, that they expect our audit fee to triple in 2004 because ofthe costs associated with Section 404 compliance. The key issue seems to be that the proposed rules do not permit auditors to use judgment or materiality considerations to focus their auditing procedures on areas ofgreater intem.al control risk. Further, they say that your rules will require them to do the work required to issue an opinion on our internal control systems, rather than an opinion on our r~view and testing ofour internal control systems, which I believe was jnt,ended by Congress. ,t, ..

Therefore, I cannot understand how you could be writing rules that would require my auditors, and my staff, to spend twice as much time examining our internal controls as they do examining the company's financial statements. What sense does it make for regulators to require more than two-thirds ofour effort to be spent on perhaps 5% ofthe value that auditors deliver to shareholders? I hope you understand and carefully consider the consequences ofyour rule-making on companies such as ours.

Little did Squire Sanders know that in 1987 it would take the company public—under a complex master limited partnership (MLP), no less—and begin a mutually rewarding relationship that would help the company Photography by Alex Lippisch expand its family entertainment empire sixfold over the next 20 years. With seven major amusement parks and five water parks under its umbrella, today’s Cedar Fair generates more than $550 Caption million in revenues and boasts a market cap of roughly $1.5 billion.
