Canobie Fan Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Day 4(the 7th) - Indiana Beach – Monticello Indiana Indiana Beach had been a park I wanted to go to for sometime… But never wanted to really go out of my way for... So it was cool that I would get the chance to go on the MWCT. Once we got to the park you can see how built up it really is… Once I had my ride pass I went up to Hoosier Hurricane first. It was the first thing I saw once in the park… So I went to it. Hoosier Hurricane Type – Wood Year - 1994 Kind – Out –n-Back Hoosier Hurricane looks nice how it runs along the side of the park and over the lake. (River?...well I'm going to call it a lake) After climbing my way to the station I take my seat in the front row and Jay sat next to me… The ride is nice and fun but doesn't have too much air. But its still a fun ride the first drop on the ride is nice. And so is the drop that goes under the bridge to the park. The turn around is cool because if you look down its over one of the mini golf's the park has. The return trip to the station has a bit more air but not that much. Over all it's a fun ride but could use some air. After getting off that I walked over to the Galaxi coaster... that's buried under some waterslides… They wouldn't let me wait for the front on this one... So I just took the seat that was empty. I think this was Dekas first Galaxi ever… Galaxi Type - Steel Year – 1971 Kind - Family Eh… It's just like any other Galaxi coaster. It runs the 2 car train system so if you're in the back car you get a few bits of pop air time. Yeah… but if your have been on one you have been on them all… I guess this one is cool because it has waterslides going all around it…. After that I walked down to the parks Sky Coaster… I have been on many before... and this wasn't even the biggest one of the trip... But it was the only one that's over a lake… And that was the reason I did it. The ride hangs off the side of the boardwalk the park is on and has its own little pier it sits on... So when you drop down and fly up your over the lake. The view form 100 feet over the water was really cool. I wanted to go on it some more... But didn't have the money. After my fun ride on the Sky Coaster I got in line for CCIs "Bastard Child" wood coaster…. Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain…. Man that ride rocked... I couldn't get enough of it… I ended my day with over 15 laps on it…. Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain! Type – Wood Year - 2002 Kind – "Other" The ride is so messed up…. Somehow CCI was able to turn an old dark ride into a coaster... The ride starts with an elevator lift hill that takes the 2 car train to the top. Once the cars release the fun starts… The ride is full of very tight turns and odd banking and then steep drops that just toss your body around inside the cage (car). You can't really describe the ride... It's something you just have to ride to "get" but man is it fun…. Some of the turns this thing does with a 2 car train you wouldn't find a 1 car mouse doing… It's just so twisted After Lost Coaster I went on the parks famous water swings. A Chance Yo-Yo that's out over the lake. It's a fun ride and tilts unlike most of the Yo-Yos I have been on. Then I went on the parks wheel to get some photos. The view from the wheel was nice I guess. After getting off the wheel I took the sky ride back to the start of the park getting some more photos. I walked over to Cornball next… This was one of the coasters on the trip I wanted to ride the most…. Cornball Express Type - Wood Year - 2001 Kind - I don't know what to call it…. Cornball was just wedged into the park... So you have to climb 4 sets of stairs to get to the station… It's not bad the first time... But with the parks no re-ride system... It gets annoying to walk around… The first drop on the ride in the backseat has some great air time. The ride it self is a very good ride and now I see why it's so highly ranked. This coaster SHOULD be ranked higher then Raven…. The drop that goes along side the Tig'rr in the backseat with a slacked seatbelt had some of the best air time on the MWCT trip… (Only one coaster beat it ) The ride also has something odd… For some reason you get air time in its helix… That's cool… The ride was also built on top of and over most of the parks kiddie rides Well after 4 or 5 rides in a row on Cornball I had one more coaster in the park to ride. Tig'rr. Tig'rr Coaster Type – Steel Year - 1984 Kind – Jet Star This was the first jet star I have been on where they would let you fill a car with 4 riders and this one didn't have any seatbelts. The ride is fun and I like it better then The Great Escapes indoor one. The drops on the ride are fun and so are the low turns. I love the drop that turns to the left in the drop then hits a high banked right turn…. After 4 rides on this I went back to cornball for more rides… Yeah so after that I just spent the rest of my day going around and riding flats and re riding some of the coasters. The park had a nice set of flying scooters. The best of the trip. They also are on a platform over the lake so once you start flying them you go out over the water. At the start of the day the guy running the ride didn't mind if you snapped… even if they had a "no snapping" sign…. But later in the day some girl kicked me off for snapping L… Even after going to Knoebels I can't pick what flyers I liked better. The park also had the best of the S&S towers on the trip. The double shot that the park just placed on the beach it looks funny because the park put its frog hopper right next to it… They also had a Chaos but it was closed all day so I didn't get to ride it. The parks paratroopers ran nice and fast and gave the cars a lot of rocking. This ride is also over the lake but the effect isn't as good as on the flyers or swings Before the day ended I went back and rode most of the flats and took a few more rides on the sky ride… And just kept lapping Cornball and Lost Coaster. Yeah… So now that IN Beach say was over... it was time to head off to Michigan's Adventure… If only we had stayed at IN Beach for 2 days and not gone to MIAdv… Or better yet… We should have skipped PKI and stayed at IN Beach for 3….. The super cool WaterSwings The super cool Sky Coaster Whos Your Hurricane Cornballs first drop... YAY LOSTCOASTER!
coasterdude5 Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Great pics! That Lost Coaster looks insane! I should get out there someday.
Jonathan Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Yeah… So now that IN Beach say was over... it was time to head off to Michigan's Adventure… If only we had stayed at IN Beach for 2 days and not gone to MIAdv… Or better yet… We should have skipped PKI and stayed at IN Beach for 3….. Ditto.
