Beech Bend Press Confrence Photo TR

^Yeah, these guys are pretty much a less glorified, Kentucky version of the Kochs. They are incredibly nice people that thank you for coming to their park and they talk to strangers like they've known them for years. I really hope the Rumbler does great things for the park. It's small, but it's got character. And like many of you, I too for some reason really like the name Kentucky Rumbler. Now, I'm going to add just a couple of my pics from today. Awesome pics Julie! Sorry I missed the Mickey D's!

AWESOME PICS

Ok, well now I'm going to have to go to this park, I love suporting park with owners who obviously CARE!

The coaster looks really cool, WOW, we are getting some great coasters next year

I only live about an hour and a half away from Beech Bend, but I've never really cared much about going there until seeing these pictures. Maybe I will be able to convince my mom to take me there on the way to Holiday World this summer.

It doesn't look like that bad of a park, with a Power Surge, Pinfari Looper, Spinning Mouse, and now this really awesome looking woodie, though I personally think that the park owner should have spent his life savings on some nice landscaping to improve the park atmosphere. I'm guessing he thinks this new coaster will boost park attendance way up and then he can afford to make the place look nicer.

Will you still have to pay for each ride individually like at a carnival? I think the park should just have one flat admission fee.

[BarryHHe's kind of sad and pathetic]

Great photos! I liked the redneck Illuminations photo.

Kentucky Rumbler is a pretty cool name. Finally, after SheiKra and Kingda Ka, we finally have good-sounding coaster names!

Thanks for posting.

[PkiJakeThe best thing about TPR is the donkeys.]

I lived i Bowling Green from 1997-2001 and you never heard of Beech Bend. But now they are advertising and everything. I think they will be a pretty good small park in a few years. They need landscaping, more rides, and more food locations. This would be the only reason why I wished I still lived in Bowling Green.

[CarnageWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

Isn't everything in Kentucky classy with a "K"?

So they're keeping looping star? Not sure I need to ride it a second time. That credit kind of freaked me out. Never a good sign walking up to the ride, and having the creepy rideop explain which seats had working restraints(seems to be about half of them).

I'm going to try and make it back for the new woodie and wild mouse(I was to early this year) next year. Though I have no idea if it will work out considering the distance away it is.
