Thanks so much for the info - how interesting! Seems like they would have been a pretty unique place to stay if visiting Indiana beach. It’s such a charming park! Thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment 😊
We love a good Best Western! While maybe not the most luxurious, you always know exactly what you're getting. Glad to hear that the gym was as useful as it was sizable! Deeply curious about the ab-sket-ball game Jamie described. 😂 The coaster lineup at Indiana Beach looks totally nuts, so many unique (and very compact) models from known manufacturers in addition to some of their own builds. 12:24 "That's a lot of fish" and they look hungry! Boardwalk amusement parks always have the best kinetic energy, everything so tightly packed together and in near-constant motion. Tig’rr _definitely_ looked rough and rickety, but you gotta get those coaster credits! Also, what does it say about me that when you mentioned wanting to meet “the crow” before he actually appeared on screen I was picturing the 1994 horror movie icon? 👀 The Den of Lost Thieves reminds me a lot of the Knoebel’s Haunted Mansion, but with the added element of the arcade game. I weirdly always feel like the shooting element downgrades the experience a little, but I appreciate it when it’s well executed. 39:00 Absolutely amazing view of the coasters from the top of the wheel! For that matter, great timing for the interactions from the skyride, too. Low-key terrifying to see that one of the structural supports for the skyride is in the middle of the bumper boat arena where a rogue rider could ram into it at any time. 😅 But I’m sure that Indiana Beach has considered this. The arcade looked like a real blast, too! Great video you guys! Sorry we’re so behind, but we’re catching up! ✨
The best western was really nice, and extremely large and had so much to offer! The basketball/tennis courts & full gym and spa were definitely a nice touch, although we didn’t have much time to spend around the hotel. The absketball was pretty fun actually lol definitely a good way to get a workout in with a little bit of entertainment in there as well. IB does have such an interesting lineup, very unique coasters all compactly fit together. They don’t have any huge heavy hitter coasters, but the lineup is well rounded. If you’re looking for woodies - they’ve got Hoosier, cornball, and lost coaster to satisfy that itch, and if you’re looking for some unique steel coasters they’ve got those too in Tig’rr, Steel Hawg, and the triple loop. They also just announced that they’re changing the trains and restraints for the triple loop to make it more comfortable, so maybe I’ll actually be up for trying it on the next visit 😅 Lost coaster truly is one of the coolest coasters though. The carp are crazy! There are seriously SO many. The boardwalk really does have good energy and vibes. Tig’rr was actually better than expected, it looked rough and rickety but really didn’t ride that way! It was like a fun compact slightly less thrilling mini Whizzer from our six flags lol. I love those Schwarzkopf cars that are so spacious and comfortable and feel like lounge chairs. It would have been great if the crow was terrifying 😂 but alas, it was just the friendly IB crow in a fun little Santa hat! I can totally see what you’re saying about the shooting elements taking away from the dark ride - the only thing I did like about the shooting in the Den was that hitting targets did activate things within the ride and made animatronics and other props move around, so it was kind of fun to try to hit the targets and see what was going to happen! But it did take my attention a way a bit from just enjoying the ride. Still such a cool dark ride that was very fun and also unique. The Ferris wheel and sky ride both provide really cool views of the park & are a great way to see the coasters better and relax for a bit. We had a lot of fun too in the arcade, playing some games, and just browsing all the different shops that IB has. All in all - it was a great day, and we can’t wait to go back to Indiana beach. Thanks so much for watching and leaving us a comment 😊
The rooms off the sky ride were once rentable, but since the new owner took over I believe they are private now.
