The last day of our trip was spent at Indiana Beach. We didn't get to ride as much as we had hoped due to the crowds. If I had to pick a favorite park in the US, it would be Indiana Beach. They have a solid coaster collection, great flat rides, good food at reasonable prices, and a location on the lake that can't be beat. Quite a few of their rides are built over the water. The swings and flyers are especially nerve-wracking the way they swing out over the water. They have a sign saying not to snap the flyers. Although they go fast, they didn't seem very snappable. Good thing because I would've really had a heart attack if I snapped. The swings are different than LC's since IB's are just single-file all around. In addition to swinging outward, they also tip forward and backward. I was holding on tight since it felt like I was going to do a backflip out of the swing and land in the lake. :D
