Located on "Lower Twin Island" (AKA Sisters Island), the largest of three sandy river islands in the Ohio River. The opening of the Pike Island Locks and Dam about a mile upstream in 1963 raised the river level enough to submerge "Upper Twin Island" and greatly reduce the size of "Lower Twin Island". |
Built by the Wheeling Amusement Company who purchased the island for $5,000 USD. |
The Ohio River Flood of 1907 caused extensive damage and even after attempts to rebuilt the park, it never reopened. | |
Advertised date of the grand opening yet it appears the park opened earlier. |
