This park looks like it was built in a Roller Coaster Tycoon scenario where you have limited space and don't care about the theming. All the rides are intertwining and very close to each other. Those woodies looked pretty fun to ride too! It's a shame the park has closed.

it makes me sad when a theme park closes

So do you want a Wild Mouse or Wooden coaster? Indiana Beach: Yes.

Such a unique park, would have loved to visit this summer 😫

That is some of the prettiest coasters in a park I think. What a nice park this seems to be.

I just hope someone buys the park so these coasters can be saved

I cannot and will not accept this park being made into houses or hotels. This park MUST be saved. It’s too unique, has wonderful rides, and it’s loss would just be devastating to the community.

Are you sure you want to completely demolish Wooden Roller Coaster 1?

I'm glad that I got to go back in August of 2003. Cornball Express was my favorite roller coaster with moments of ejector airtime.

I am glad this park was saved. It has been my home park for 4 years now, and I’ve enjoyed every second I’ve been at the park.

So glad this park has reopened 🥰

Used to go to the Saturday night dances at Indiana Beach when I was a kid during the early 60's. The Hawthorne community center in Indy would arrange bus transportation for those that wanted to go. Wonderful memories.

Born, raised, and still live in Monticello but I never rode a single coaster at the Beach (because I get motion sick), so getting to “ride” them here is a true treasure.

Atleast I rode Silver Comet last year, had the chance to go here but passed on it... regretting that now.

What? This came from nowhere! I'm sad, I thought it was a really cool place with everything stacked up on top of each other!

Growing up there and camping last year was something I'll never forget. Halloween time too

What great looking fun rides. Glad to hear that this park remains operational. Great videos

Wow! This park is amazing. Old and not colorful. Would love to see it all redone with paint but I actually love the vintage charm. Just added it to a place to visit and I live on the West Coast!

I'm glad to still be able to continue making memories at Indiana Beach.

I only wet to Indiana once. My personal favorite was Cornball Express (great airtime in the back and the "corniest" coaster name ever). I am sure Steel Hawg will end up in another park, hopefully in North America. I doubt the other woodies can be saved and the other steel coasters may end up in the third world somewhere.

Thankfully this video aged pretty fast! Im looking forward to visiting this park soon. Great POVs!

This park is my family's favorite! We go here every summer and every year! Such a great place :)

I have never even heard of OR seen the very first coaster!!!! EVER! Didn't even know it existed. What a shame that that is gone now...very unique!

rip. Such great coasters.

This was the closest park to me, literally a state above me, and I MISSED THE BUZZ BARS. R.I.P. INDIANA BEACH, I will miss you and all of your rare gems you had throughout the years. Let's hope someone buys it, and saves the history. Hopefully I get to see this place and ride some coasters if it's not a trashy old sports complex or shopping center.

i still have hope my friend’s investment firm is looking into it

that runaway mine train looks pretty unique and fun to ride

Great video~ So sad that they are closing. For a small theme park they had great coasters. We went every summer at least once. I will miss the coasters and the "scary" shooting gallery. Their rides must have been built with good material because I never heard of anyone getting hurt there. Thanks, Indiana Beach, for all the good memories.

Hi My Friends! This Is A Great Video Full Of Beautiful Souvenirs! These Are Our Real Roller Coasters Has We Know Them! They Are Parts Of Our History. I Really Hope That You'll Keep This Video In Your Very Personnel Videos Library.. We May Never See Again Our Real Good Old Wooddies. They Are So Precious To Our History. Thank You Very Much For Sharing Thees Greats Moments With Us! I've Been Following You Sence 2009 And I Still Love Your Great Videos. Keep Going!

Excellent video - I felt I was riding all those great rides and playing that neat game - I hope someone buys this park and saves everything in it !

All of them, I loved their roller coasters...

I’d love to ride something similar to the lost coaster. A woody with those tight turns looks really fun.

That looks like a lot of fun. TY!

Omg I miss fascination too

RIP, Indiana Beach.

“Indiana Beach has closed forvever.” Me: NOT ANYMORE! YAAAH!

Steel hawg it was like a wild mouse on steroids

Reminds me a little bit of Gröna Lund. Only a little run down... I heard Apex really turned it around in the last couple years, but I think the beginning of the end for Indiana Beach was already underway. With Holiday World, Kings Island, and Cedar Point nearby, it didn’t enough to offer to make the drive up there worthwhile. Sad to see it go! I’m sure the surrounding community will hurt in its absence. :(

Great video and thanks for posting this as well. Have a nice day.

I'm really glad this place was saved.

I would love to visit someday, especially for that lost mountain coaster.

The first drop on the Steele Hog looks amazing!

Well i'm glad that it was just purchased and will be for a while longer!

This looked like it was a wonderful Park back in the day filled with great coasters. Surely someone can save it . 😢🎢🎢

I went here so much when i was a kid. It is a part of my life.. Im gonna miss this place..😭😭😭

Very sad to see this, this park has a special place in my childhood. The woodies were incredibly fun to ride especially at night

RIP!! I never got to go there and I really regret it now. I hope someone can either save the park or the coasters find new home. Each of them are worthy of saving.

All those noises at the beginning were so assuring....

ROBB - Thanks from all of us who never got to visit !

Hello everyone! Hello TPR! Hope you have a nice day!

Crazy coasters, it looks so funny

Lost coaster was my #1 ride ever.

This place must have brought joy to many lives.I'd pay good money to ride the Steel Hawg!

Me, an intellect watching this in April after the announcement of new ownership.

Cornball is the best, but I love the classic Schwarzkopf and the quirky Lost Coaster. Just a unique little park that I’ve been lucky to visit for nearly 40 years. Good tacos too.

I am enjoying the on all roller coasters.

This park now has a new owner and will be opening back up

What a cool ride.

Fab coaster !

That mine coaster looks awesome

And to answer the original question, I will miss Cornball Express the most. That coaster was the first wooden roller coaster that I fell in love with. To this day, I prefer wooden coasters and I attribute it to Cornball Express.

By the two wooden coaster crossover each it looks either side chain life longer🤩🤩🤩🤩

Yeah as of 2020 someone has bought the park

I have not been there in such a long time that I would say lost coaster was always my favorite. I never got to ride Steel Hawg though 😭

The Mine Train Coaster is my kind of thing. I was suprized to see at 6:50 min an old Schwarzkopf Coaster Jet Star I. Cool it's still alive.

I love the ride.

We need that ride here in Arizona !

That cart coaster looked like fun.

Neat stuff!! 👍

Ive never been there but these videos made me feel like i was on the rollercoasters. Its very sad to see it close. Hopefully someone comes through to buy it.

Thank god these were saved

00:02 it's the brake sound from NoLimits2!!

I remember riding this in july 2019 it was my first time and i reallly liked it, so sad how it was my first and last time😔

Hard to imagine that this park closed. It looks like it was a really nice park.

Awesome

They have a lot of roller coasters. Good ones it seems like.

I'm really gonna miss cornball express and lost coaster

FUN RIDE

I sure hope Fun Spot decided to purchase the park. I saw a video from Park Pros that they sounded interested. Let's just hope for the best.

Sad to see this place close but kinda excited since Apex is supposed to move some of the rides to their parks here in California.

This is end of May 2020. Some guy with the last name Staples from Chicago has bought IB. He has been coming there over the years and being a fan of IB he's taking place seriously and is fixing the place up. I hear he hopes to open up June 2020! 👍

Honestly went for the first time this year, IB doesn't have a bad coaster.... Hoosier Hurricane: Big fast out and back woodie with lots of easy floater airtime, perfect family ride. Cornball: Intense twister style layout with lots of airtime that will bring a smile to anyone Steel Hawg, great compact steel coaster with a nutty layout Tigger: Fun for everyone and very intense for its size Lost Coaster: If you don't likle this coaster...god hates you

aw man! i can't believe i never attempted to go there! somebody please save this park!

I'm asking Defunctland to make a video about Indiana Beach. Sadly I never got the opportunity to go there. The time this comment is being posted I am in 5th grade and school is getting tougher than ever. It seemed like this place and Fantasy Island seemed like nice places. What the heck Apex?

I went here as a really young kid and was too afraid to ride hardly anything! I wanted to go back after I got over my fears, but haven't had the chance. I'm so sad its closed and I hope it opens again!

Fantastic footage! Really well shot!! Which camera was used?

Good news to anyone who sees this! Updates we received today shows that the town is still looking for a buyer so it isn't technically closed permanent yet. Reports have shown that there are 2 potential buyers, 1 who has been trying to reach out to Apex about making the purchase, and the 2nd potential buyer is Fun Spot America. The president of Fun Spot flew in to Indianapolis making the trip to Indiana Beach for a meeting to potentially purchase it! We still have hope!!! There is also going to be a meet up at Indiana Beach to try and save it!!

I’m not one for roller coasters (I’m afraid of heights) but I would definitely ride the first one.

This Park is reopening in Summer!!! no joke!

Hope somebody remake some of these rides in other parks.

My daughter and I were going to head out there this year but not now. We may just go to Holiday World instead

who agrees michigans adventure should get steel hawg? Or any other small park really

Don't forget their Pinfari Galaxi coaster! 😉👊🏼

Great and unique coasters. Hope they can be moved!

I never heard of this. It looks like a nice park. I live by Kennywood. It makes me sad to think these lovely and quirky wooden coasters will be closed.

The mine ride and steel hog were the best coasters

I love rollercoasters but don't like riding them that much, but I wouldnt mind riding a few of these here if this park remained open, sad to see a fun looking park go 🌈💖

RIP Indiana Beach Amusement Park (1926 - 2020)

Who is here when Indiana beach is open again

Aaaand they have all reopened! :D
