Splash Battle@Indiana Beach

[jamesdillaman]

Can anyone post some pictures of Splash Battle @ Indiana Beach? I was there when they were welding the track together and was wondering how it ended up looking and fitting in with the midway. A little far for me to trek just for ideas, but I haven't heard or seen any trip reports from this park since... Thanks.

I don't have any photos, but I was there a few weeks ago and it was running. Not my cup of tea, but it seemed very popular and is a good fit for that end of the boardwalk.

didn't appear to be quite finished when i was there, but it was running

It must have been a pretty quiet opening, then. I was wondering if it was running. I hope someone can get out there and post some pictures soon.

I'm planning a visit next Wednesday, and assuming I have internet access at our condo can post them the next day, if not then the earliest will be Saturday or Sunday.

Thanks, I knew if I posted someone would deliver. Looking forward to seeing them.

Unless the weather is about 90 degrees plus and sunny, I'd take a change of clothes. The one at Walibi World gets you soaked through!

I just saw a small photo in the latest issue of rollercoaster, but would still appreciate if someone could post some pics here.

Thanks,

^ Funny, that doesn't look like Indiana Beach to me, since when were there trees on the boardwalk?

Um... maybe there's more than one Splash Battle... I thought the ride was unique and googled it. Oops.

[jamesdillaman]

There's at least 3 that I know of.

Three is the one you are looking for and the one at Legoland - where is the other one?

 

I would love to see pics from the other two also - to see how the LLCA one holds up. There are some pics I took of the LLCA one here

[jamesdillaman]

I think there's one in Belgium or something... I don't know, and I don't really have time right now to do any research, as I'm literally walking out the door, but if no one posts the answer I'll find out later for you.

there's one splashbattle in walibi world in Holland, and there's one in walibi aquitaine in France. The theme of both rides is pretty much the same.

I visited IB last week. I didn't ride Splash Battle as I didn't want to get soaked. The ride looked a bit lame and the guns on the subs were rather ineffective. Most of the soaking took place courtesy of the quarter drop guns outside the ride. For one quarter you'd get 1 minute of water spray where you could hit two sections of track. The spray was pretty intense. You could hit people right in the face and most people ended up just covering up to protect themselves. The kicker is that it was a one sided battle as the quarter guns could shoot farther and more powerfully than the weaker, hand crank guns on the subs. Often times riders would exit and come over to the quarter guns to have some real fun.
