I haven't been to any theme parks in 7 or 8 years, and I recently moved to nashville, this place is only an hour away from me so I'm very tempted to make a trip.
Beech Bend Park looks like an interesting place for families to visit. Even though this isn’t for many thrill seekers, but just like a lot of smaller parks, it’s nice to spend a few hours there. It almost feels like a permanent carnival, they have a variety of attractions. Of course, the main star of the park is their Great Coasters International (GCI) Wooden coaster, Kentucky Rumbler. I think it is also very scenic, that lake in the middle is nice, and just looking at its general location, it’s nice to look at. Now then, I could see the park invest in some new rollercoasters. They should take several years to save up money and get something great! Here’s what I could see them doing: - Despite Kentucky Rumbler offering an amazing experience, it certainly isn’t the smoothest wooden rollercoaster. I predict that they could give it the RMC treatment, it’d be a great addition for the park. - Replace the Speedway Go-Karts with a Vekoma Suspended Thrill Coaster (STC). This coaster model offers a great riding experience and a fun, thrilling ride that’s filled with some airtime. It could create a phenomenal one-two punch for the park. - Since the park offers a good amount of attractions from Chance Rides, why not offer a Chance Hyper GT-X coaster. Despite not being a massive amusement park, Beech Bend is place that I would recommend visiting and trying it out.
Superb video, this might be a great small park, but the old beach bend was incredible.....yes there was an old beach bend....it closed in 1983.....sad to see it go...
Came to get a look at MJ's sea dragon had to keep forwarding to the end and then just got a quick glimpse. :( ..I'm trying to find more of his rides going to make a road trip of it. :)
My family and I just got back to the hotel after spending the 4th of July here! It was our first time here and it's a nice little place. We had a great time, except for one thing: that freakin' Starship 4000. Maybe I'm just getting old, but that thing was physically painful and made me sick. Other than that thing, though, I really like this park and we'll be coming back for sure.
On the topic of the haunted house, it actually got renovated around 2011. Until that point it actually had the original props from the 50s. It was super corny but the old school stuff in there was really cool.
Used to go to Beech Bend alot as a kid. Used to have a petting zoo and a small walk through zoo. Alot of the better rides were sold off and zoo closed years and years ago thanks to Ronny Milsap. Great vlog.
@Kirstie Kevin It's been consistent this year, idk what it was like previous years. I was told we don't put them on any higher settings bc we lose too much water out of the sides of the pool, but lifeguards don't control it just managers and maintenance.
chased Knobels is expensive if you're someone who likes to ride rides over and over. There is a reason most parks switched to one fee to enter instead of pay per ride.
Kentucky Rumbler and the new for 2016 waterslide complex looks exciting but I'am not sure if I could see myself being there as this park is pretty small and I don't know of anything else to do in Bowling Green. Plus it's pretty far from Louisville. But who knows. It still looks exciting enough to spend a few hours at.

im going today
in the afternoon
The best thing about this park is usually only natives know about it so there's almost never a line at anything.
I used to live in BG and had a season pass for two or three years. It’s a fairly small theme park, but I miss it.
Lol I live in ky I felt like a melted gingerbread man after the starship

And there was the asphalt oval track. I raced there once (early 80's).
Thanks for making this video. I haven't been here in years and it's nice to see the place still looks good. Glad you had a good time!

Omgosh the Kentucky Rumbler beat me up so badly!

I love watching your videos. Lots of people make bad videos about this park, but you always show the good parts and not just the bad parts.
Great vid!!! Very Enthusiastic!!! The only thing that I would suggest adding is the history of the park, but Great walkthrough. 😊
I have not been in a very long time it is nice to see some new rides and some old rides from my last visit it would be nice to visit again
This park is only 3 hours from me, but I have never visited it. Will need to change that sometime soon. Thanks for the video!
Like 10 min from me😂
I haven't went here since i was 16 I'm 20 now but i don't plan on going back

I went to Kentucky on vacation once and I went here it was fun
What a cute little park. Sometimes these are the best little vacation get-a-way locations for a low stress, relaxed, no-hype exploration weekend.
This place is essentially the budget version of Holiday World or Dollywood
I'm a lifeguard at BB! My home park is HW but its nice having a GCI right down the road that I can ride anytime :)

It looks like a nice park. It looks clean and well maintained. And it offers alot of rides for a family owned amusement ride.
30 dollars is good for all those rides. You'd pay more at a fair with no roller coaster.
In that context you are exactly right. Knoebels is a steal.

It cost 100 dollars to get in

There is the Corvette factory plant
Bowling Green Native here. The Corvette museum is a must see, and you can come to Mammoth Cave and Lost River Cave.
The fact I probably was on one of the rides while he recorded it.
Another great video
Awesome video! Does this park offer any paper park/guide maps you can pick up?
Yes they did
It's a small park you don't need a guide 😂😂 you can find everything right in your face
1:10 prob best ride there fr
I want to take a trip down there one day... my home park is Kentucky Kingdom.
What’s wrong wit sea dragon
Ah COVID times, where all the amusement parks you haven’t been to are the only ones open.

Where's Molly, Legend? Your tours aren't complete w/o both of you.
She couldn’t make this trip
@@IntheLoopPodcast But how will you know when it's beer thirty? How Legend?! How?!?!?

Beech bend is an ok park it's not that good they don't even play music on the rides that's what makes the rides boring
