The Hoosier Hurricane roller coaster at Indiana Beach, Monticello Indiana

Custom Coasters really brought wooden coasters back into style with medium sized thrill packed rides for smaller parks when the big chains like Six Flags or Cedar Fair were only adding massive steel looping behemoths.

Without rides like the Hoosier Hurricane here at Indiana Beach or The Raven at Holiday World helping parks rediscover the traditional thrill and feel of a wooden coaster we might not have coasters from the likes of The Gravity Group, Great Coasters International, or Rocky Mountain Construction today.

Taking away this coasters historical significance the Hoosier is still a super fun coaster that is absolutely perfect for Indiana beach.

Frankenstrin's Castle at Indiana Beach, Monticello Indiana

While I'm not a big fan of "up charge attractions" where you have to pay more to experience at parks Frankenstein's Castle is an exception that I'll gladly pay to go through.

Frankenstein's Castle is a super rare traditional walk through haunted house that is as much fun walking through today as when my sister and I first took a ride on the creaky elevator that kicks off your adventure so many decades ago.
