Always sad seeing parks with so much history close...

Oh wow, that sucks. Indiana Beach has long been a bucket list park for me—everything about it seemed so incredibly wacky. Really sad to see it go. ?

Aw, man. And their wooden coasters (at least) look great. Well not entirely sure about Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain, but it's at least unique. I hope they find a buyer for their coasters....

That is a huge bummer I really wanted to hit it one day. ???

There might be a save coming...

Fun Spot posted on FB an hour ago that they are not going to be purchasing IB. They did say that they want it to reopen, but that they are not the ones to do it and hope that someone else out there will be able to.

I sorta assume Fun Spot wants to be first in line to buy up the pieces if Indiana Beach ends up parted out. Steel Hawg would be an INCREDIBLE get for any of the three Fun Spots.

Edit: Fixed.

Oh, you mean Steel Hawg ?—which is one of the best named coasters of all time.

I didn't watch a pov of that, but their wooden coasters look cool. It'll be a shame if those aren't purchased and relocated, but I'm sure that would be a huge expense to do.
