    I love your videos Jacob! I tend to not go out of my house a lot bc I have a lot of social anxiety. I'm in my mid 50's and have pretty much given up trying to overcome the anxiety to go places. But I am living vicariously through you! Your descriptions and attention to detail give me the feeling of being there. I am grateful for you and understand you are providing happiness to a lot of people who can't be out and about. Keep up the good work. God bless you. ❤🙏

      You'll be blown away by how much they've put on 10 acres, which is 30X smaller than nearby parks. 7 coasters seems impossible but they did it.

    Wow, this took me way back. I'm 50, and I grew up going up to Indiana Beach. My family had a house and a boat up there, but a lot of things were still the same. I'm glad they kept the old stuff. Appreciate the video. I haven't been their since 2017. I definitely need to go back up there ..

    Indiana Beach is great. It has that classic midwestern cheesy charm that the Wisconsin Dells used to have. Before all the giant corporate waterparks moved into town.

    Jacob if you're ever in Colorado, Lakeside amusement park is a must for you I believe it's one of the oldest amusement park's in the country has a famous wooden roller coaster and just a great place reminds me of where you are now the place is over 100 yrs old

    If you think that train ride is underpowered, at one small park that I had been to their train couldn't even make it up a slight incline. Some other guys and I had to get out and push it up the slope.
    Last time I went there, the train ride had been discontinued and removed. Only a few overgrown tracks remained.

      It's on lake Shafer and makes the walk so much better. Back in it's prime it was so amazing and was definitely the place to be. It used to be so full of people you could barely get through. Like everything it has aged and gone down hill a bit. Doesn't have as many visitors but it's definitely still nostalgic and I find beauty in it still. It's home. Don't get to go as often because the prices have gone way up, but it's definitely a must visit.

  • @umrmech84
    @umrmech84 28 днів тому +9

    No Jacob, you are definitely NOT a chicken. You go on rides that I wouldn't even consider.
    BTW, The exit is the third door to the left of the one with the orange sign above it.

    It’s so creepy that you uploaded this now because I just discovered this place last night (because of UA-cam randomly recommending me a sixteen year old video of the Gallery of Ghouls!) and couldn’t find any videos newer than 2019 about it. I am SO happy to see the ScareFactory Hell Hound,is still present in the Gallery even if he doesn’t work. I believe it is the last place who still has a Hell Hound on display. The ones in Coney Island and Pigeon Forge were put away and destroyed.

    Thanks for the video. I got to see the old Indiana Beach Park before it was bought and saved. The new owner seems to be doing a good job of keeping the old classic rides going as well as adding those two new metal type coasters. They really have a good variety of rides and attractions in such a small area. I wish them success for years to come.

    My favorite place on the planet ! I fell in love with the love of my life there . She past away years ago and my first visit there since her passing was very tough and emotional . But during that trip i bumped into you by the bumper cars . I mistook you for Adam the Woo . You corrected me and was nice enough to let me take a picture . That moment cheered me up and so did many rides on lost coaster . Every time i get off that coaster i have a perma grin . Love Indiana Beach and the Spackman and Staples families . Rock on Adam ! haha

    Den of Lost Thieves used to be Mystery Mansion dark ride made by one of the original owners. It was one of the best in the country when it came out and had a ton of really innovative scares that were used elsewhere in the country.

    • @chadprentice5370
      @chadprentice5370 27 днів тому +1

      The best scare was the very last one. Where the bomb explodes at the end, there used to be the front end of a semi. The headlights would kick on as the loud truck horn blew directly at you. indiana Beach was so much fun as a child into our mid-teen years. Even in our 20s it was a fun place for a date. There used to be a huge arcade at one end and, behind the castle was a long strip of carnival type games that multiple people played at the same time. The horseracing game that you rolled balls into holes with different point values. The higher point value moved your horse faster down the track. lots of places to get food, and quiet places to sit. I live only 20 minutes away and haven't visited for over a decade. But, it really is a great place, and I have memories at that place that I hope I never forget.
