Beech Bend Amusement Park, Bowling Green, Kentucky

You can see the elevation difference for this coaster here.  The red coaster on the other side of the hill is Beech Bend's Looping Star which rumored is supposed to be leaving Beech Bend.  Don't listen to those rumors because it is going to be up and running for 2006 as well.  The reason it is not running this year is that Beech Bend ordered a new train with better padding to make it a more enjoyable ride.  Since they have the new spinning mouse this year and the new trains were going to take a while it was the perfect year to have it not operating.  Also with the new coaster for 2006 Beech Bend is going to move the Looping Star elsewhere in the park as well as give it a new paint job to spruce it up.

The new coaster isn't quite as tall as the terrifying Shock Drop but it should be as thrilling.  I for one am excited about Beech Bend's 2006 coaster whatever it is going to be named and can't wait to give it a ride next May.


Beech Bend and the Jones family have really stepped up to the plate in developing the park and this coaster is really going to put them on the map.  I just can't wait to see what they do next.
