coastered Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I heard something about that Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loop from the same park as the Triple Loop coaster. Indiana Beach would also have bought this rollercoaster. Is that true? That would be awesome because there aren't many shuttle loop coasters left in the world.

prozach626 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I heard Six Flags has some rides for sale if Indiana Beach is interested... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfBobs Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I'd prefer the rides Kennywood is removing if Indiana Beach wants to focus on classic rides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt that, but the owner did mention that they want to add a second roller coaster in 2022. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=414930102976641 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Indiana Beach really needs a kiddie coaster since they quietly lost the Dragon Wagon. They have the plot ready in the kiddie area if they can find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenturyFlyer Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 ^ Who cares about the kids when they could get another Schwarzkopf? https://coasternation.com/indiana-beach-to-get-new-coaster-in-2022-potentially-adding-kennywoods-former-laser-loop/?fbclid=IwAR2GBagx4v_dI8YOQPobelrO9nTqbnj0Zq8nXwW4iNWl0Pc-lYUEjNVDiAY So people are drawing the conclusion that the possible new coaster in 2022 could be the old Kennywood Laser Loop (Cascabel). That would literally be the most incredible thing, but I'll believe it when I see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilrider Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I would be so happy if they got the shuttle coaster. I miss Tidal Wave a lot at SFGAm, so to have this less than 3 hours away would be fantastic! I would love to have my son experience what launch coasters used to be like.

Jaykethekid Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 That's one of those things that just seems way too good to be true. However, seeing the recent timeline of events at this park, it seems just about anything is on the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I hope they keep riding the classic ride wave. The crow is proving to be a real OG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanthonyam Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Looks like some parts of the new coaster have already arrived at IB. https://www.facebook.com/midwestcoasterfans/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I give the new owner credit for not only reviving what was thought to be a dead park, but pursuing an aggressive growth plan that will help to entice guests back and reestablish a relationship with regional visitors. I’ll be very curious to see how they approach refurbishing these Schwartkopfs and if these additions are enough to spur a turnaround for the park, given how rough the last few years have been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's been enough to convince me to finally stop by IB next time I'm out there! I sure hope it can turn things around, seems like such a unique little park that has had so many tribulations, would be great to see it thrive.

MrSum1_55 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Buying Quimera already came out of nowhere. I would argue that this was more surprising than getting the shuttle loop. If they get the shuttle loop, then that would be fantastic too. There is only one left in the US, so that would double the number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkjunkie Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I spotted Quimera/ Triple Loop on the move from Mexico to Indiana today headed north on I-55 in southern MO. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 ^ Yes. The remaining ones are really spread out. 1 in North America, 1 in Brazil, 1 in Europe, 1 in Japan, and 1 in South Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garet Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 And Bullet in Mexico which is kind of like a Shuttle Loop. I really wish I'd headed out to Flamingo Land to try it many years ago instead of deciding on going to Drayton Manor to try out a stand up coaster instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tndank Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Not sure if I'll actually make it here this year, but I bought a pass anyway to help out Gene and Co. I'd really like to ride all their coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Closest I've seen was a portable Dragon Wagon pulling out of a gas station. Not going to lie, I thought about following it for a split second until I realized how sad that would be. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I think about I believe I've only been on two traditional shuttle loops. Does this include shuttle loops from all manufacturers or just Schwartzkopf?

Canobie missed the portable shuttle at Selva Magica. According to RCDB, there are 6 Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loops left in operation: Bullet @ Selva Magica in Mexico (Portable model with the tire driven spikes) Golden Loop @ Gold Reef City in South Africa Katapult @ Hopi Hari in Brazil Montezuma @ Knott's in California Psyke Underground @ Walabi in Belgium Shuttle Loop @ Nagashima Spa Land in Japan There are also 3 Arrow shuttle loops currently in operation: Diamondback @ Frontier City in Oklahoma Revolution @ Blackpool in England Sidewinder @ Elitch Gardens in Colorado There's also a Meisho one at Rusutsu in Japan and 3 Shibolai models at 3 different parks in China. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
