There was a new "amusement device" called "Creation or The Great Hereafter"[1] that opened at Olentangy Park in 1906.[2]
The production opened at the nearby Columbus Zoological Garden in 1905 and was described as having "many novel features in illusion, magic, and black art."[1]
Similarly named attractions at Atheltic Park[3] depicted Heaven and Hell and at Dreamland was an electric opera that showed the destruction of the world by fire and "the Biblical epic, using a chorus of 200 singers, showed the Damnation of Faust and the Salvation of Marguerite in detail."[4]
