For now at least. I've gone from having no care at all to at least being interested to see how this one comes out, so I guess the teaser worked.


I agree with you Stuart! This is one crazy roller coaster... the teaser is getting me to crave for more information about Steel Hawg! I hope this is not what people think as a painful ride, I hope this will bring out the new era of unique and beyond the limitation of the past roller coasters in the history...

4th Dimension already made it debut... there are 4 roller coasters that I'm aware of that is out now but I'm looking forward to see new types... I know I haven't ridden over 1,000 roller coasters yet but I like seeing something new and creative! :-)

Indiana Beach has brought my attention about Steel Hawg and I'm looking forward to the outcome!

Just watched the video, and all I can say is......WOW! That has got to be one of the most screwed up rides I have ever seen! Definatly looks like a blast of a ride, although I can definatly see some loose articles flying off of this rides (unless they implement a no loose article rule).

I think IB is over hyping this one, they'll be disappointed when everyone hates it.


Slow down there Tiger. At least ride the thing before you bash it.

One thing Indiana Beach knows how to do is surprise you with underwhelming looking rides. I'm trusting that they know what they're doing until my personal experience says otherwise.

And even if the ride doesn't work out, I'll still want to hit IB 2-3 times per year. I would have gone even if they didn't add anything this year.

^ Yeah, it's kind of like Blackpool. All they added was a stupid SLC, but yet I'm still dying to go there. Hmmm, this place just can't get away from obvious Blackpool comparisons can it? ;)

I think we will have to wait to see what it really looks like. I think this one will either be good or really bad. But hey you never know!

Any updates on this ride? I love this park, but it's 4 hours away from me ----> a little too far to drive just for some possible construction pictures.

Sideways airtime? That's going to be great, hopefully the first installation is a success so S&S can sell a ton of these.

I reckon this will be a lot of fun, another reason to go back to IB.

Where exactly is this going in? Anyone know? The blog said they were finishing clearing the site, so construction should start soon.
