Apparently August is the month where I decide to do some really strange things; last year it was 7 parks in 1 day in Chicagoland, this year its some of the smaller parks in Ohio and Indiana, not in 1 day, but 8 parks over 2 isn't bad either. The idea was the work of Heath, and the driving was done by Kim. The goal; Wyandot Lake, Fun Spot, Indiana Beach, Three Floyd's Brewing, Indianapolis Zoo, Coney Island, Stricker's Grove, Wonderpark, and PKI. Without Kim's awesome driving and ability to stay awake, we'd never gotten anywhere close to accomplishment.

Day 1 Part 1: Wyandot Lake

Since the park was sold out of the SF family, we knew we'd at least be able to ride it in the future seasons, but decided since its free, we may as well get there now. Saturday we got there at opening. Not too much to the park, 1 Jr coaster, a few old flatrides, a few kiddie rides, and a few waterslides and activity areas.

Day 1 Part 2: Fun Spot

After a 3 hour drive, we arrived in Angola, Indiana, home of Fun Spot. The park should be called Fun Speck, or Not Much Fun Spot because there really wasn't too much to do there. The park had really weird hours, closing at 6pm every night, and not being opened every day in the summer. At least I don't have to go back here until they add a woodie (which probably won't be for a REALLY long time!)

Day 1 Part 3: Indiana Beach

None of us needed any credits at Indiana Beach, but we love the park so much that we figured "we're like 2 hours away, lets go!" Though we could spend at least a full day at the place, we only had a few hours, but it was probably the most time we spent at any park the entire weekend.

Creepy 80's waterslides are always the best. They're usually really insane, fast, and forceful.

Nice TR!

LOL, looks like you guys had fun! Too intense credit whoring for me, though. I'm a 1-or-2-park-a-day kind of girl. But I would like to go to Indiana Beach some day.

Great TR so far. Looks like my cheap A$$ will have to wait about 30 years or so to go to Fun Spot. No sense paying now, when Grandparents get in for free on Thursdays!

2 Sets of flyers in one day. You suck!

2 notes:

1. Culver's frickin' OWNS

2. They have that same t-shirt at CP.

Omg, Indiana Beach looks so beautiful.

I definitely have to include the place in my next US visit (if it will ever happen).

IB looks awesome. I hate I haven't gotten up there yet.

I should have gone there instead of SFStl. lol



^ I'm so jealous. I have yet to ride one of these.

I know it's an Arrow, but I still want to try one out before they are all gone.
