Day 4(the 7th) - Indiana Beach – Monticello Indiana
Indiana Beach had been a park I wanted to go to for sometime… But
never wanted to really go out of my way for... So it was cool that I
would get the chance to go on the MWCT. Once we got to the park you
can see how built up it really is… Once I had my ride pass I went up
to Hoosier Hurricane first. It was the first thing I saw once in the
park… So I went to it.
Hoosier Hurricane
Type – Wood
Year - 1994
Kind – Out –n-Back
Hoosier Hurricane looks nice how it runs along the side of the park
and over the lake. (River?...well I'm going to call it a lake) After
climbing my way to the station I take my seat in the front row and Jay
sat next to me… The ride is nice and fun but doesn't have too much
air. But its still a fun ride the first drop on the ride is nice. And
so is the drop that goes under the bridge to the park. The turn around
is cool because if you look down its over one of the mini golf's the
park has. The return trip to the station has a bit more air but not
that much. Over all it's a fun ride but could use some air.
After getting off that I walked over to the Galaxi coaster... that's
buried under some waterslides… They wouldn't let me wait for the front
on this one... So I just took the seat that was empty. I think this
was Dekas first Galaxi ever…
Galaxi
Type - Steel
Year – 1971
Kind - Family
Eh… It's just like any other Galaxi coaster. It runs the 2 car train
system so if you're in the back car you get a few bits of pop air
time. Yeah… but if your have been on one you have been on them all… I
guess this one is cool because it has waterslides going all around
it….
After that I walked down to the parks Sky Coaster… I have been on many
before... and this wasn't even the biggest one of the trip... But it
was the only one that's over a lake… And that was the reason I did it.
The ride hangs off the side of the boardwalk the park is on and has
its own little pier it sits on... So when you drop down and fly up
your over the lake. The view form 100 feet over the water was really
cool. I wanted to go on it some more... But didn't have the money.
After my fun ride on the Sky Coaster I got in line for CCIs "Bastard
Child" wood coaster…. Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain…. Man that
ride rocked... I couldn't get enough of it… I ended my day with over
15 laps on it….
Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain!
Type – Wood
Year - 2002
Kind – "Other"
The ride is so messed up…. Somehow CCI was able to turn an old dark
ride into a coaster... The ride starts with an elevator lift hill
that takes the 2 car train to the top. Once the cars release the fun
starts… The ride is full of very tight turns and odd banking and then
steep drops that just toss your body around inside the cage (car). You
can't really describe the ride... It's something you just have to ride
to "get" but man is it fun…. Some of the turns this thing does with a
2 car train you wouldn't find a 1 car mouse doing… It's just so
twisted
After Lost Coaster I went on the parks famous water swings. A Chance
Yo-Yo that's out over the lake. It's a fun ride and tilts unlike most
of the Yo-Yos I have been on. Then I went on the parks wheel to get
some photos. The view from the wheel was nice I guess. After getting
off the wheel I took the sky ride back to the start of the park
getting some more photos. I walked over to Cornball next… This was one
of the coasters on the trip I wanted to ride the most….
Cornball Express
Type - Wood
Year - 2001
Kind - I don't know what to call it….
Cornball was just wedged into the park... So you have to climb 4 sets
of stairs to get to the station… It's not bad the first time... But
with the parks no re-ride system... It gets annoying to walk around…
The first drop on the ride in the backseat has some great air time.
The ride it self is a very good ride and now I see why it's so highly
ranked. This coaster SHOULD be ranked higher then Raven…. The drop
that goes along side the Tig'rr in the backseat with a slacked
seatbelt had some of the best air time on the MWCT trip… (Only one
coaster beat it
) The ride also has something odd… For some reason
you get air time in its helix… That's cool… The ride was also built on
top of and over most of the parks kiddie rides
Well after 4 or 5 rides in a row on Cornball I had one more coaster in
the park to ride. Tig'rr.
Tig'rr Coaster
Type – Steel
Year - 1984
Kind – Jet Star
This was the first jet star I have been on where they would let you
fill a car with 4 riders and this one didn't have any seatbelts. The
ride is fun and I like it better then The Great Escapes indoor one.
The drops on the ride are fun and so are the low turns. I love the
drop that turns to the left in the drop then hits a high banked right
turn…. After 4 rides on this I went back to cornball for more rides…
Yeah so after that I just spent the rest of my day going around and
riding flats and re riding some of the coasters. The park had a nice
set of flying scooters. The best of the trip. They also are on a
platform over the lake so once you start flying them you go out over
the water. At the start of the day the guy running the ride didn't
mind if you snapped… even if they had a "no snapping" sign…. But later
in the day some girl kicked me off for snapping L… Even after going to
Knoebels I can't pick what flyers I liked better.
The park also had the best of the S&S towers on the trip. The double
shot that the park just placed on the beach it looks funny because the
park put its frog hopper right next to it… They also had a Chaos but
it was closed all day so I didn't get to ride it. The parks
paratroopers ran nice and fast and gave the cars a lot of rocking.
This ride is also over the lake but the effect isn't as good as on the
flyers or swings
Before the day ended I went back and rode most of the flats and took a
few more rides on the sky ride… And just kept lapping Cornball and
Lost Coaster.
Yeah… So now that IN Beach day was over... it was time to head off to
Michigan's Adventure… If only we had stayed at IN Beach for 2 days and
not gone to MIAdv… Or better yet… We should have skipped PKI and
stayed at IN Beach for 3…..
The super cool WaterSwings
