This is Indiana Beach. It’s a cute little amusement park located off of Lake Shafer in Monticello Indiana. The park added 6 coasters to our Conquered Coasters list; Cornball Express, Galaxi, Hoosier Hurricane, Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain, Steel Hawg and Tig’rr coaster.
We really liked the park. It’s the kind of place that you appreciate the longer you reflect upon your experience. It has fun rides, good food, reasonable prices on everything and a charming atmosphere. Some of the p
eople are a little scary and unfamiliar with the groundbreaking science of Dentistry but what do you expect, it’s Indiana and proof that stereotypes are based in fact. Our largest complaint is that since it is located in a heavily wooded area and surrounded by a lake, we had to deal with bugs all day.
The park makes great use of its surroundings with a nice boardwalk atmosphere. It has several platforms built on the water to position a variety of classic “spinney” rides in a unique, water surrounded atmosphere only enhancing the experience of the ride. It also helps keep the park clear for larger attractions. All the coasters were quite good. Our favorite would be the new steel coaster called Steel Hawg. It’s a very unique, relatively small coaster that takes the mouse trap style to another level with smooth turns, a 111 degree drop, 90 degree corners and a section of track that rides completely upside down at a reasonably slow speed. I hope this is the next generation of small coasters which traditionally are rough rides but inexpensive which makes them very attractive to smaller parks. Another coaster deserving a mention would be the Cornball Express, possible the worst name for a good coaster. This wooden coaster is surprisingly smooth, relatively fast with tons of air time.
I wouldn’t call Indiana Beach a vacation destination, but if you are in the area, stop by and check it out. You will be pleasantly surprised at what a good time you have. I know we were.
