Rides
Superstition Mountain
This is a runaway mine ride through a cool mountain with a waterfall. You race over the antique autos and over the water befor returning to the mountain. You then enter complete darkness as you experience some of the mountain's inhabitants occasionally. Later you weave in and out of openings in the cave and pass near the rushing water of the falls.This ride is great for kids and adults and is very popular.
Rocky Rapids Log flume
A relaxing ride down the flumes canal. It goes through a couple of tunnels and around a few turns before arriving at the lift. You can get a unique veiw of the Cornball from up here, so take in the scenery before being rapidly launched down and splashing in the water below.
Wabash Cannonball
A nice train ride that goes through a tunnel that it shares with the Antique Autos, it then goes under the Hurricane. This is the only way to get this particular view of the park and the Hurricane. It circles "Island Golf" at the end of Paradise Island, which is where the Hurricane makes its turnaround also, then heads back on the same track, goes completly around the Kiddie area and returns to the station..
Hoosier Huuicane
A fantastic roller coaster by CCI built in 1994.
Sea Dragon
A swinging ship, I love this thing. The weighlessness as you get to the top of the swing is awesome.
Tig'rr Coaster
An great jet star steel twister roller coaster
Giant Gondola Wheel
Very relaxing and a great view of the park and the lake.
Den of Lost Thieves
This is an inside ride and it is air conditioned, so it is nice on a hot day. The ride used to be called Mystery Mansion, but they changed the rides theme. Now you ride through shooting targets with guns. A digital display on the car keeps track of your score. Bags of gold are worth 30 points while all other targets are worth 10 points. Some of the ride is in pitch blackness and there are a few creepy skeletons. Other interesting parts are when the ride goes to an outside balcony and when the ride goes into the dungeon. It is a popular ride and although I was disappointed that the Mystery Mansion was gone, I am growing to like it and my kids love it.
Water Swings
Big Swings that extend over the lake and swing in a circle, alot of fun.
Chaos
This ride looks cool. It spins you around in cirles while each car flips around swinging forward and backward. The people were screaming their heads off while riding it.
Dodgem Cars
Your good old everyday bumper cars
Galaxie Coaster
Old steel wild mouse coaster
Tilt-aWhirl
A traditional puke fest-if you like being dizzy this is your deal. Hey its fun!
Music Express
I'm always ready to get off of this one. It is your basic matterhorn type ride.
Paratrooper
This ride is exciting and I highly recomend it.
Falling Star
This is another one of my favorites. Good negative g's.
Antique Autos
It's relaxing, it goes beside the train, runs beneath part of the track for Superstition Mountain, runs over some water, and has a tunnel that it shares with the train. The line is usually too long.
Flying Bobs
This is kind of like Music Express but better and more comfortable because the cars swing.
Scrambler
A good brain blender. It has a good smashing into the other cars effect. Lateral g's are extreme.
Bumper Boats
This ride is in the lake. Who wouldn't want to drive a little gas powered boat around while smashing into other boats? It's fun!
Sky Ride
This thing looks like it has been here for a long time. It is a little scary sometimes. It is a ski lift ride that runs the length of the park. I ride it everytime I go and have been since I was 5.
Double Shot
Built by S&S, this "Power Tower" type tower shoots you over 80 ft. into the air. One Mega rush.
Shafer Queen
A lovely tour of the lake on the elegant Shafer Quenn. The ride lasts about 30 minutes and allows you to see all the beautiful homes and landscapes around Lake Shafer. They also have a longer tour. I have taken the short trip, but not the long trip. This is one of those rides that my mom likes.
Big Flush Water Coaster
Big water slide that you use a little rubber boat to ride. This is not part of the water park. The Big Flush has two tunnels. One is pitch black and the other is blue. Wonderful on a hot day, cause you get really wet sometimes.
The Cornball Express
The latest and greatest coaster at Indiana Beach. This alone is worth the trip.
Frankenstein's Castle
A walkthrough haunted castle; it costs $3.00 to enter and is not included on the pay one price pass.
Sky Coaster
This one costs $25 extra and is a 100 ft. rip cord drop. You can have your trip video taped for an additional $12.00. This is probably the closest you can get to leaping from a plane without actually doing it.

Kiddie Rides
Merry Go Round
Your basic but beautiful old fashioned carosel ride.
Frog Hopper
This is easily the best kiddie ride ever. It is located next to Double Shot and not with all the other kiddie rides.
Red Barron
Airplanes that go around and up and down. It looks fun!
Cars
They go around and have horns
Whip
Frantic but redundant
Turnpike
This one is a little more exciting, the cars are all chained together and there is a hill on the track
Winkle Whale
Riders ride in boats and cicle a cool mermaid
Tubs
Boat ride with bells on the vehicles
