Indiana Beach - 8/13/07

[DejaVuGurl1203]

We left the neighborhood around.. 9 and had to go get gas so that took up some time. We got to the park at 11. Well, we thought it was 11 anyway. A half hour later we realized there was a time change, hah I totally forgot about that. I had a coupon for buy one all day combination pass and get a second one free, so that was nice.

I don't remember the order we did everything so I'll just post the ride totals...

Hoosier Hurricane - 5
Cornball Express - 4
Lost Coaster - 2
Galaxi - 1
Tigg'rr - 1
Double Shot - 2
Sky Ride - 1
Tilt-a-whirl - 1
Music Express - 1
Flying Bobs - 1
Dino 3D ride - 1
Water Swings - 1
Paratrooper - 1
Water slides - 12
Action River - a lot...

I think that's it. I was sad to see Chaos gone, all night I was looking forward to riding it.

A few notes...
-There was also that pirates show, and it was amazing when we watched it at 8:30.
-On one of our rides on Cornball Express, my seatbelt came undone after the first drop and I had no chance to buckle it again. One of the scariest rides of my whole life. I'm thankful for that bar. (Something similar happened to me back in 05, on Hoosier Hurricane, but it was on the lift and I had a chance to buckle it again.)
-Cornball Express got stuck in the station at one point.
-We went over to Double Shot near closing to end the night. Before we got on we were talking with the operators. They said they took down Chaos because it was a piece of crap. They couldn't find anything new before the season would end. They also told us to go check out the Dino 3D ride, so we did after riding Double Shot. It was great, I'd never been on one of those before. I wanted to do it again.

sounds like you had a good time at IB.

You seem to have gotten the full story on Chaos, supposedly they wanted a filler ride for the rest of the year but couldn't find one in time, and this late in the season no carnival operator is going to take a ride off their lineup to sit in a park unless the $$ is really there. Next year should be fun though, I'm sure IB has stuff in mind for that spot.

Is that the same Dino 3d ride that was at SFGAm?

[FParker185]

yep same film, different motion benches though, IB's is far superior.
