Indoor amusement park now open in Illinois.

Grand Bear Lodge in Utica Illinois which is a hotel and indoor waterpark resort has recently opened an indoor amusement park on the property called Enchanted Forest.

They have no coasters but have 9 flats, a pizza parlor, and sports bar.

You don't have to be a guest of the hotel to visit the amusement park.

Question: If anyone can describe what this Eclipse ride is that they have, that would be great. They claim it is 1 of only 3 of its kind in the world.

Eclipse hurts... Too big of restraints and not fun of a ride.

The two times I have been there (EF), I have not seen one person ride Eclipse. Many say too intense.

I rode Eclipse at the 2003 IAAPA and I found it was a piece of junk. Very badly designed restraints that don't hold you at all and the ride's whipping action meants your head and body were getting smashed!

What does it do?

You see the part with the seats? Well, it just goes around in circles and each block of seat are free to whip around, like a breakdance. Its boring and painful...
