Here he is bouncing on his way down and he actually liked it.  I didn't get a picture of this but he put his arms up in the air at one point while the ride was going.  I remember someone saying "look...he's one of us"!  When he got off he turned around and headed right back for the ride.   That's my Boy!!!!



Here Bond is attacking Fred, or is Fred attacking Bond?



Indiana Beach has a great scenic railway but it's name slips me.  Basically the cars travel up into the mountain using electric motors then on the way down they use gravity.  This ride is very coaster like and I think it should be given some sort of a status.  If anything it's a modern incarnation of the old scenic railways that the L.A. Thompson Company used to make in the early 1900's.



This car gets the award for the most Daves in a car.   In the front are Kim and Dave Thomas and in the back is Tim Melago and Dave Sandborg.  Oh when riding the mine ride watch out for some good laterals.
