Title: 06-10-08 Trip to Indiana Beach & Steel Hawg
Description: Check out the new Steel Hawg Pictures!!!

After waiting a year for Indiana Beach to come for the season.

Since Indiana Beach has a new ownership with Morgan RV Resorts, I might check out some changes they did to Indiana Beach.

On June 10th, 2008, me and my friend Ben went to Indiana Beach to ride the coasters.

So we left my house around 11ish. I brought some fruit punch with me. I also brought my video/digital camera with me to the trip. It took us about a half/ hour to get there.

WHAT THIS? COULD THIS BE A NEW COASTER OR SOME KIND OF S**T.

IT'S STEEL HAWG!!!!!!!!!

We got to Indiana Beach at round 2:25 PM.

When we got to the entrance by the bridge, we wanted to go to 3pm to 10pm. But they said "You gotta wait about 30 minutes to get the P.O.P." So we walked around by private houses by the lake and the theme park it self.

I got a perfect view outside the property of Indiana Beach. BUT THE D**N TREES ARE BLOCKING THE HALF VIEWS OF THE COASTERS!!!!!! >:(

Finally they let as in the parks with the POP things on our hands. BURGER SHAKE!! With the new ownership, they made a Indiana Beach guide for the guest. I was very happy about that.

As we enter the park , some stuff were repainted like the Sky Ride, the water slides, kiddyland area, the main hotel, & other stuff. The Sky Ride was painted like X (Not X2) from SFMM. The cars were painted green, pink, and maybe blue?

The park added new ride safety signs which they look like the signs at SFGAm.

Under the TIG'RR is the fast food place. It's now been renamed to the "Jungle Cafe: Cubs Kitchen." But in the guide it says it's called the Tig'rr's Den. WTF?

Holy crap, that drop looks amazing.

I really need to get to this park someday.

That's disappointing that Steel Hawg still isn't done yet. I'm planning on going to this park some time this summer, but I'm holding off until SH is open.

I just got to ride the steel hawg today. It's the best small coaster i've ever been on. The 120 degree drop was absolutely sick, as well as the reverse immelman and the outside 45 degree turn. Six Flags should've bought one of these for the Dark Knight instead of a Mack wild mouse.
