Indiana Beach Blog

Wow, some interesting wishes and guesses...including one that is on the right track :)

Laser I think is for sale at Dorney :)

If we lose a steelie I would hope that it would be Galaxi and not Tig'rr.

I agree Wabash... I love Tig'rr. It's probably my second favorite coaster after Cornball. It's not very often you can ride a coaster like that without any restraints.

Mamoosh, Do you know something some of us don't know?

Did you know that the lyrics "Mr. Mojo Risin!" from The Door's song LA Woman is an anagram of the name of the bands lead singer, Jim Morrison?

If you didn't know that then yes, I did know something some of you don't know :)

Well... the new blog from today has a title of Dates, Events, Hints? And ends with this quote:

"Here’s hoping you’re all head-over-heals looking forward to the 2008 season and what we have in store…"

So I'm guessing the hint is "head-over-heals". I'm guessing it's something that goes upside down. And I'm not sure if it was a purposeful spelling error of heels(heals).

Any more speculation?

What did they mean by "(no longer Lost) Coaster Weekend" ?

I didn't even catch that the first time.... hmmm. Interesting.

^^^They say that same phrase "head-over-heels" for the Chaos ride. The ride has to be upside-down! Basically, you can rule out waterslide, and wooden roller coaster.

The coaster weekends at IB are no longer themed to LoCoSuMo, i.e. last summer's was pirate themed.

The "heels" spelling seems to be corrected, so that was probably a typo. :)

Look at the Oct. 23 entry

"like so much at Indiana Beach, they are a real steal!"

That might be a hint.

So the new ride will be able to take our money from us? Maybe they bought Demon Drop. I very often lose change on that ride. ;)

Real Steal = Coming from another park?? Head Over Heels = Upside Down?? Oh the joys of speculation.

bring back the Twister? That ride just made Indiana Beach for me - the operators used to make sure every single car got its minute or so of insane spin, and they'd let you ride with the front seat empty to maximize it.

evil plug, for the evil TWISTER at IB. The spinning about 30 seconds into the clip is INSANE!

Wow. That almost looked painful. *** Edited 10/24/2007 10:38:57 PM UTC by Jason Hammond***

Power Surge was removed from two parks with one being from Astroland.

I got a couple killer rides on the Twister that used to be at Williams Grove.

InSANE!

Chuck, who's other one at Lakemont was lame as hell.

woohooboy, nice video... :)

Wow did that thing look COOL...

I seem to recall that a few "hints" were being dropped during the Pirate-themed event this year....but you really can't trust pirates... ;)
