Well, it looks like Indiana Beach will be open next season. Got my facebook message that the Hawg wild even has been added for next year on the ACE website.

Candy: What you lookin' at?
Otis B. Driftwood: I'm lookin' at you, mama.
Candy: Yeah, you see something you like?
Otis B. Driftwood: Maybe. I set my standards pretty low, so I'm never disappointed.

Don't get too excited. Last week, the power was shut off due to unpaid bills and all but three members of the maintenance staff was relieved.

It's pretty easy for the PR/Marketing contact for the park to say "Yeah! We'll be open!" to an ACE rep and then 4 months later say no.

As of last night the former Operations Director and her husband, the Food/Games Director joined the Protest Morgan facebook page. I discovered that is because they, too, were fired by Morgan RV. Joining that list of people being forced to leave is COO Gary Quasebarth. I guess there won't be an IB in 2012...

^That stinks i want those credits.

I know it hasn't been confirmed but what coasters should be saved and which should be scrapped

SAVE
Cornball
Lost Coaster
Steel Hawg

SCRAP
Tig'rr Coaster
Galixi
Hooiser Hurricane

I haven't been on any of these but these are my thoughts

^ Tig'rr and Galaxi would both have a higher chance of being saved than Cornball Express or Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain

Talking about salvaging body parts already while the patient is still alive? That's not at all tacky. :D

I had a chance to make a trip there last year... but skipped over it on my way back from a road trip.

RIP Indiana Beach

I don't think the park is done for good. I'm thinking the park will be bought by someone, and hopefully that someone cares more than Morgan RV does/did.

Oh I 100% hope Indiana Beach is picked up by a caring, loving owner, but only time will tell...

2012 operating calendar posted. Whether they will actually operate any of those days remains to be seen.

they let all buy three of the maintanance staff go, supposedly everyone that is working at the park right now is working out of the campground. Electricity is shut off to the park right now to save money. Went by IB yesterday in Monticello when the taco shop had the event for the guy that might be the new mayor. Damn good tacos!

I am willing to bet that Indiana Beach will open up next year, and Kentucky Kingdom will not :D

And I'm surprised no one mentioned, on their Facebook, they announced that they will be moving the Yo-Yo back to it's original spot over the lake!
