Going to take it easy and just look at a dozen Indiana Beach photos.
Front of the Hoosier Hurricane car. Underneath the paint you can make out the old front, dimly.
Near the end of the day the ride was a walk-on. I think I accidentally got the ride operator posing for me here.
The exiting end of Hoosier Hurricane, with a view of the log flume and more stuff beyond that.
Rocky's Rapids car going down the big plunge and, in the background, a bunch of false fronts to what I assume are just work areas.

bunnyhugger getting some snaps of the sun setting behind Steel Hawg there. Go ahead, wonder how I got a photo from the exiting side while she's still on the entering side when we certainly wouldn't go on a walk-on ride like this separately.
And some warnings before you leave. A lot of Indiana Beach's signs are still hand-painted which is why my Dad should absolutely visit there.
Petrified Hobbes greeting people as they approach Tig'rr Coaster.
And here we're looking from the Tig'rr Coaster platform at the Cornball Express queue, which is up a couple flights of stairs. The sign outside the park warned the ride wasn't operating that day but they changed their mind.
Not sure if the line was that long or this many people gathered in anticipation of the ride opening. Also there is something very 70s-80s furnished basement about the wood panelling on the left there.
Here's the moon, not knowing that in under a year we would see it eclipsing the sun. (Indiana Beach, sad to say, was just outside the path of totality, getting getting a mere 98.81%.)

Well, you know, we've got a lot of fences here, they don't all have to be secured. (I believe this is used as a switchback gate so it's not like it serves an important safety role, other than that people will be leaning against it.)
