I-X Indoor Amusement Park 2012

My first visit to the Indoor Amusement Park at the I-X Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Filmed Sunday, March 25th, 2012. Many thanks to Alan & Meredith for letting me hang out with them!
Visit www.ixcenter.com for more information.

[@SeanFlaharty]

Nice! I ran into a Vietnam vet over the weekend who noticed I had a CX130. He showed me his (I think) CX180 and we started talking about video. That's cool you got another CX110.

[@jcso119]

This looks absolutely wonderful! What an amazing family trip this would make! Excellent videography also!

[@SeanFlaharty]

Nice job Bob! I really loved the tilt-shift segment in the middle. I also love that final shot from the parking lot. I haven't been to the IX since 1998. I need to go back someday.

[@leonor7239]

They shut it down

[@leonor7239]

It’s was on the news it’s done no more indoor park

[@SeanFlaharty]

@@leonor7239 Yes, I believe they closed it last year for good.

[@Paneeks1960]

I actually forgot to thank you for keeping the summer alive by showing this early spring ride video. It definitely gives me the feeling that it is amusement weather even on the east coast. Thanks again Bob~ Rob

[@davidbaltimore7009]

Nicely done. Well photographed, very colorful and great detail. They seem to have everything on the planet there except full-sized roller coasters

[@zorndeslammes]

Always a good time hanging out. Love the video you got, especially some of the POVs.

[@SeanFlaharty]

That's amazing your camera has that built in. Try shooting a lot of aerial stuff. That seems to work for still tilt shift pictures.

[@Themeparkmaniacs]

This is pretty neat. Wish we had something like this in NJ. I'm a Theme Park Maniac and love all the rides, not just the coasters!

[@CoasterBob62]

I had a great time! You guys are the best. After seeing the YoYo POV when I got home, I realized I should have done more of those.

[@coreythomas862009]

I used to go here every year when I was a kid. Last time I was here was probably 98 or 99. Haven't though about this place for a long time.

[@cancelaaatoday]

This indoor amusement park is awesome! It's just the ticket people need to forget their winter depression! There's enough thrills, chills and fun for the whole family! Gosh, I wish this company expanded their operations to include more snow bound states so people can beat their long, cold, depressing winter blues while having terrific/sensational fun INDOORS! *Sigh.* One can only hope, wish and imagine!

[@susanbaker1523]

wow cool video geez that building must be huge to house all those epic looking rides well thats cool if its raining cats and dogs at least you can enjoy the fair without getting wet

[@MTigers006]

This building was was owned by the US Military. They at one time used to build army tanks there. It has 2,200,00sq ft of exhibition space. It is the largest in the USA. Just look up I-X Center on wikipedia

[@dankovach230]

I go there every year with my family and sometimes my friends! It's really fun I can't wait to go again!

[@CoasterBob62]

Thank you! It's a great place for someone like me who likes to film rides.

[@CoasterBob62]

The I-X Center is in Cleveland, next to the airport. Unfortunately, the amusement park isn't open year-round. Last day (for now) is April 15th.

[@CoasterBob62]

I wish it was all year long. It was only there for about 3-1/2 weeks. Won't be back until March 2013.

[@benboyrocks0]

It's only a week long event. It's right next to the Cleveland airport. It goes on through April 15!

[@RayDLX]

I went yesterday and It was PACKED!! The wait for Crazy Mouse was over 30 minutes and the wait for Freak Out was over 20 minutes

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks man! It was fun just being there. My new, cheap Canon Powershot camera has a tilt-shift effect that I'm totally loving...just trying to figure out what works and what doesn't.

[@CoasterBob62]

Thank you! I hope that you have a good time during your visit to the USA. Be sure to make videos! My season starts in one week...

[@Jhihmoac]

Some of the larger chains, such as Six Flags are now contemplating just that for parts of the country that are a good distance from the nearest larger theme park...

[@AltonTowersChild]

This place looks better than some of the theme parks I've been to! Great editing & blur effect! I'd love to get myself down there!

[@CoasterBob62]

It should be there again next spring. It'll be posted on their website

[@SteelForceGirl07]

That is just sooo cool. ill be there like every day if i had to

[@georgibrown]

I haven't been to the I-X Center since the 8th grade, I use to go every year as a kid. What happened to the Water Coaster and the "Space Coaster"? They most likely got rid of them. It doesn't look crowded anymore either, it used to be packed with people in the IX; memories... lol.

[@kamsavart]

That looks like a very cool place to go to. Thanks for sharing.

[@JordanAHill]

Yep. Finished my night out on dual dispatch. Was gonna say hi but I was too exhausted from the day. Good to see you, though.

[@CoasterBob62]

Hey Rob! It's an impressive sight inside that building. And it can get pretty loud in there too! I think all of the rides were electric powered. It was nice to get in one more ride video before the season starts for real April 28th! Nice to hear from you.

[@MegGreco]

I went to the IX amusement park one time with my sister and my parents when I was little. I don't remember it being that great though.

[@DJDubstepDance]

Man some of these rides are so dope! never seen some of these at the fair i work at..they should have this kind of stuff juring the winter seasons everywhere,

[@Brandon91x]

That is a HUGE building! Damn

[@dvddmc]

I love the transformer guy that's awesome

[@cancelaaatoday]

I freaking LOVE the Thunderbolt! Their Twister seems much more fun, funkier and faster than all the other (lame) one's I've ever gone to at either amusement parks, Midways or carnivals! I LOVE The Freak Out! I was trying to see the name of that other fun ride I love so much that was shown after The Freak Out! OMG! The Crazy Mouse is AWESOME and had me FREAKING out when I rode it but I LOVED every minute!

[@CamelGurl23]

I'm exited now cause they have all my favorite rides, cause last year or the year before they took a couple rides out, so I'm glad to know there there this year! :)

[@SpecialMake]

Great videography - nicely done!

[@tylyn122122]

oh hells yea! all my fav rides are there * so much win!* my bestie and i are totally gonna enjoy this saturday!!!

[@cpcoasternut]

i will also be working at wal-mart (sandusky ohio) so hope to see you doing your camera magic once again

[@Paneeks1960]

Very nice effect with the Ferris wheel going through the roof of the building. Just an amazing amount of rides to put indoors too. That place must have been gigantic. Are these instruments all being run by electric power? An amazing view at 4:57. The high speed is superb. This whole video was edited in true Coaster Bob fashion. It is almost that time of the season again where you will be sharing your incredible footage of the parks. I look forward to it. Thanks Bob~ Rob/Boston

[@cherryberry7523]

Wow! So cool! I wish i could go there!

[@cpcoasternut]

starship is a pain..! i went on it once and felt sick to my stomach. and i can handle those types of rides. great video as always.. look forward to seeing you at cedar point.. going back for my 7th year

[@CoasterBob62]

It's a temporary thing. I don't know what they do with the rides but I would think they'd use them for other fairs.

[@CoasterBob62]

I remember seeing 4 coasters -- G-Force, Crazy Mouse and 2 kiddie coasters. Admission was $24, parking $8.

[@sambee8982]

Well, at least you won't have to worry about the weather if you're planning a trip....

[@Melisapainter]

Sam Bee

[@mollyrambeau7453]

I love this place sooo fun go there every year definitely worth it. They have a small roller coaster every year.:D

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks for the advice. Disney does some great work with tilt shift video and most of it's shot from afar. Tough to find high vantage points that don't move! :) BTW, just ordered another CX110!! They don't make 'em anymore so I thought I'd buy another...current one's getting worn out.

[@dukeyflyswatter]

Pretty standard carnival and boardwalk rides but cool for places that have long winter months and have to close for the season.Could benefit from theming.

[@MestizoFilipino]

Awesome footage!

[@Goldenkitten1]

I demand a full-length video of you sitting in one of the twisty bears for five minutes. Excitement abounds.

[@FreeSTyle4482]

That looks amazing!

[@CoasterBob62]

You're right, the park in Belgium (the first one you mentioned) is very nice!

[@cmroman314]

I hope soon I can go there.

[@NicksClarinet]

Awsome video again!!!! Love the video

[@CoasterBob62]

Thank you! I wish I knew what they do with the rides in the long off-season. I would assume they make the rounds at county fairs and the like.

[@cancelaaatoday]

This looks like SOOOOO much freaking FUHHHHHNNNNN!!! I would LOVE to beat the snowy, icy winter blues in a place like this! Too bad it only exists in Cleveland, Ohio you lucky dawwwwgs!!

[@CoasterBob62]

I probably did if it was Red Racer...one of the last rides for me that night.

[@CoasterBob62]

It's open for about a month during March and April every year. You can go to ixcenter.com for more info.

[@WECKmaster329]

Wow, that is pretty cool; wish there was something like that near me

[@snreynolds91]

I may have to come to ohio for this!

[@Jhihmoac]

These are actually coming into vogue once again...Although smaller in size, they're a hit in parts of the country where larger theme parks shut down during the cold months...

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks!

[@Thedevil1990mg]

THIS IS A DREAM I WANT

[@DisneyMarkUK]

Is this open all year or is it like a state fun fair that's only temporary? Cheers

[@CoasterGeek101HD]

Hey Bob, I have lived in Ohio my entire life and I have never heard of this amusement park. Is is close to CP? I might check it out this summer if it isn't too much out of the way......

[@MsGracieCatherine]

Going this weekend!

[@CoasterBob62]

Cool! I still haven't been on that one.

[@brucebmendoza]

That was awesome. Damn freaking Ohio. I'm from Cali so you know. Lol but in all fun that's awesome.

[@CoasterBob62]

It's can be pretty loud around a group of rides all going at once, but you get used to it.

[@Shaqtus57]

This is not permanent. Only there for a few weeks. Right now the Cleveland auto-show is going on. The only thing that stays is the ferris wheel Because it's up high and actually a lot bigger in person. But also, the amusement park is expensive, not worth it. Only one or two years did they have a small roller coaster there

[@Kelpenorg062903]

They could make it better by putting music like nirmal fairs and turning off the lights so the rides look awsome:)

[@twoamazinggymnasts]

im there every year! its SOOOOOO fun! :D

[@themeparksvisionart]

Brilliant video look different like this and I am wait for a Cedar Point video :D look forward back to usa next month get exciting :D

[@williamwright3098]

RFlyer01 made a video 1 year before you first visited.

[@CoasterBob62]

He does a great job. I watched that video before I made my first visit to get an idea of what to expect.

[@JordanAHill]

I think you got a shot of me on Racer load side at the end of the night Saturday. lol.

[@Brivloging]

haha your awesome bob! I go here every year! i live about 25 min from cleveland! going next saturday!

[@odett6028]

DONDE ES?!

[@CoasterBob62]

I can't stomach many of these rides, especially Starship! 7 years at CP huh? Cool! I worked there for 7 seasons. It was hard work but I made a lot of great friends. I'll be lookin for you!

[@FWK18]

Great !

[@FebbyBlack]

wow, you go everywhere i wanna go

[@hit3234847583]

is that park temporary or periment and do the rides get used for fairs

[@kaboda317]

Great video, once again. I almost went there a few years back. Also, do they rotate these rides fairground style? Rides like G-Force and the Pirate Ship ride (can't remember the name and can't read it in the video) are actually 2 out of quite a few rides I had ridden at the Canfeild Fair in 2005/06 just a couple hours from there.

[@CelenaCherie]

They do bring these rides to my towns carnival like then zero gravity the 2000 thing the down draft then fire ball these fairs go everywhere

[@gtamission140]

What do u use to edit with for all of UR videos?

[@kya0921]

[@NickXtreme23]

i love the THUNDER BOLT
