While I can't guarantee your location, try this;
Go to www.maps.google.com. Type in Big Injun Trail, Gloria Glens, Ohio.
When the map comes up, zoom in. This Trail still exists and has cottages on it. The area between this Trail and the lake is where the park is. The coaster goes north and south and abuts the trail. Your back is to the trail and you are on the east side of it, facing east. As to the paint on the coaster, the only areas that were painted were the ramp, platform, canopy and the tunnel on the lift hill. The other areas were plain wood. CCA treated lumber hadn't been invented yet. If you go to the aerial view, the backward -7- in the lake is the boat dock where Miss Chippewa was kept for rides. It was a Chevy powered Chris Craft speed boat.
Again, no promise, but I believe this is where you are. Main Dr. off Lake Rd. was the entrance into the park. |

CP did have a Wooden coaster in 62. The Blue Streak.
It still is in service to this day. |

I can almost guarantee this is at Chippewa. There is a path/service road between the cabins and coaster. While my r/c chopper fley by there it was very obvious that this was the spot the pic was taken. |

DidJaVue, you're wrong. Blue Streak opened in 1964.

Thanks. This seems to be the consensus. My mom still doesn't recall us going there. |
