ratdogg68 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Indiana Beach is adding A Schwarzkopf Triple Looping Coaster, next season. Wonder which one it could be ! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Pretty sure it's Chimera from Chapultepec Park in Mexico City! Who would have ever guessed that a park that was super closed and bankrupt would reopen, and save a coaster we all assumed was doomed!!!! 2020 baby! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfBobs Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 This is awesome news. Was not expecting a "new" coaster to be added to the parks line up so soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Agreed, this is spectacular news. More Schwarzkopf greatness in the US is always appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaellynn4 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I'm not used to Indiana Beach making reasonable, popular decisions. 2020 is truly the craziest year... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I'm not used to saying "The problem with this ride in it's prior location was poor maintenance but Indiana Beach will take much better care of it" Also, this Quimera thing is so crazy that nobody has mentioned that they're naming a ride "Polyp" yet. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 ^ I have to give the new owners credit, 5 of the 6 roller coasters weren't broken by the end of my visit in 2020 and a piece didn't fall off of Cornball's train. I'm stunned Indiana Beach is saving Quimera and that this is the Schwarzkopf from La Feria that was saved first. I'm certainly not complaining though since Quimera may possibly be the most intense coaster I've ever ridden. That was partially because of Mexico City's altitude and partially because La Feria ran it without the brakes. I imagine Indiana Beach will actually use the trims and run this coaster as it was designed, but that still makes it a fantastic ride on par with Galaxyland's Mindbender. I can't decide what's more shocking- Luna Park getting the first Intamin single rail out of nowhere or this. I'm going with this. Indiana Beach seems to be one of the few parks with good news in 2020. It was saved from the grave and then adds a coaster that many thought was going to be scrapped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Zo Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 This is awesome news and also really funny. The thing was shut down for maintenance (maintenance???) on the 2015 TPR trip, so we didn't get to ride it. I won't have to travel as far to ride it now.

ricklap77 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Really great news!!! It was going to be scrapped and now it will be refurbished and saved! These Schwarzkopf loopers are really unique and awesome and need to be preserved. Thank you Indiana Beach! Can't wait to visit!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case there was any doubt, it looks like one of the park reps has posted on Reddit and confirmed that yes, it is in fact Quimera! I'm stunned (but in a good way). Definitely looking forward to returning to IB next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillseeker4552 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 2020 really is full of surprises! A park we thought was dead is now adding a new coaster when many parks are not, much less a relocated kickass Schwarzkopf that I was 99% certain was getting the axe. And yeah, I know it's off-topic, but an Intamin single rail at Luna Park Australia too? What is evening happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 ^ 'Tis the Season.... for unexpected stuff to happen. All things considered. And "Polyp" to me, sounds like some kind of skin "thing" I do not want to touch! (Even though I am pretty sure it has something to do with seaweed or kelp, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanthonyam Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 OMG this is amazing!! I rode it in Mexico, and it was such a fun ride, but had terrible operations. I wonder who is doing the refurb?? Premier? Gerstlauer? Zierer? I wonder if it will get the new trains like SDL over at Hershey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 ^ I rode it in Mexico too, during the first TPR Mexico Tour, in 2013! Soooooo awesome, I know several of us rode it again and again, after our ERT time, when the park was open to the gp. We queued up with everybody else to enjoy it again and again. Same with the shuttle loop coaster. Several times. Lovely thing. TPR 2013 Mexico Tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prozach626 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 So a classic ride followed by a classic roller coaster. I hope this is a continued trend for IB. Another version of Knoebels would be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
