It has really improved since I was there in 2002! I think in a couple of years they might have it looking like a real park. I hope to get there next year when the wooden coaster opens, I only live 2 hours away. From 1997-2001 I lived in Bowling Green, but I don't think Beech Bend was even open. Also the Looping Star is up for sale on Ital.
