Indiana Beach


Welcome to Indiana Beach

The first coaster of the day would be Steel Hawg

This type of coaster is called an El Loco and is made by S&S

It is definitely a very different coaster

The first wooden coaster of the day was Hoosier Hurricane

The Hurricane goes right out on Lake Shaffer

It really is built right on top of everything at the park

The other wooden coaster is Cornball Express

While the Hurricane is more of an out and back, Express is a twister

Both coasters are a lot of fun and provide different types of thrills

Tig'rr features a lot of helices

I really liked this ride

The next coaster was the Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain

LoCoSuMo features a very tight and twisted path

It has a lot of characteristics of a scenic railway

The last coaster of the day would be Galaxy

The Den of Lost Thieves is a ride through dark ride

The park has an amazing Skyride

The ferris wheel gives great views of the park and lake

The swing ride provides added thrills being out on the lake

While out in the middle of nowhere, Indiana Beach was a lot of fun

Showboat Branson Belle


Welcome to the Showboat Branson Belle

Time to board

Looking back at the port - let's take a look around the boat








This boat is so neat

They made the announcement - time to head in for the show and food

The show arena is huge

Time for the preshow entertainment during our meal

The band is really talented

The cruise was elongated tonight so that we were able to watch the fireworks

Time for the main event

The main singers did a melody of show tunes

I enjoyed it a lot

The second part of the show was a magic show by Christopher James

I had so much fun on the cruise,  I highly recommend it
