Lost Coaster is what happens when a couple coaster engineers eat a bunch of mushrooms and design a coaster lmao. I love it! Definitely one of the weirdest experiences I've ever had on a coaster. Keep making videos! You seem to have a knack for it 😊

I use to live only like 50 miles from Indiana Beach. I went here so many times when I was a little kid. I remeber old rides they use to have like the red coaster where their giant merry-go round is now. That coaster was fun but nothing special. The Den of lost thieves was always my favorite, and I was too scared to ever go in the haunted house until I was an adult, and that haunted house was silly af. This park feels like a blast from the past always giving me a 80s vibe. I should plan a visit again for a wild nostalgia trip.
@MidcourseDiscourse
@MidcourseDiscourse 25 күн бұрын
Quite a few of the attractions did indeed feel straight out of an 80s midway! Lost Thieves had too long of a line for the time I had remaining, but it looked like such a kooky old shooting dark ride. It’s definitely high on my list of rides to hit when I return!
@anthemdurr5644
@anthemdurr5644 25 күн бұрын
@@MidcourseDiscourseThe den of lost thieves is a little jank now tbh.. some of the animatronics don't work properly and certain triggers dont work. Unless they've updated it since like 2016 (I hope they have) still it's pretty fun. I don't think I've ever been to another park that had a dark ride/light gun hybrid so the Den of Lost Thieves has a special place in my heart.

All American Triple Loop is just like it's younger sibling. They shove you in there with no concern for your own safety and the ride throws you around as if it's trying to give you whiplash. I hope you enjoyed being squeezed in Mindbender's old cars. May the Mindbender rest in peace.

Fair comparison. Definitely hope they can figure something out down the line to help those trains out, but I’d imagine that would be far down the road if at all.

The problem with IB is that it's land locked. Monticello didn't have very good foresight when they built the town right up against it. And people get disappointed when they visit it, and it's not like Kings Island. But when you see it for what it is. It's not that bad. It's little and cute. A great place if you have children. And if you go in the evening. It's a lovely place for a date
@MidcourseDiscourse
@MidcourseDiscourse 25 күн бұрын
Absolutely, but I also don’t think the park is in a hurry to expand now that Triple Loop is up. If anything, they could reduce the parking lot next to Steel Hawg for more space, but they can’t get rid of it entirely due to the cabins and ADA parking. The park is wonderful. It’s like you said, if you have realistic expectations, it’s a treat.

I like these on the spot ride impressions you are giving while still at the park. All while the ride is the freshest in your mind. I have never been here and I only live 4 hours away. It needs to be a priority for me this year. I really want to ride that triple loop. I think I will value the intensity. I didn't know about the OTSRs, I was actually expecting the same trains that Scorpion at BGT use. Maybe that was a bit too optimistic for a coaster that inverts 3 times.
@MidcourseDiscourse
@MidcourseDiscourse Ай бұрын
Thanks! Triple Loop is great, and I'll probably like it even more in the future now that I know when to expect certain forceful moments. I know that it has OSTRs because they bought Mindbender's trains. When Triple Loop operated in Mexico, it had Scorpion-type lap bars, with the addition of some sort of safety strap harness - probably much more comfy than the trains we have now!

I thoroughly enjoyed this vid man!! I just came back from King's Island a couple days ago, and all it did was make me wanna go to Cedar Point, which of course owns both KI & Michigan's Adventure, your home park. I've been to many different theme parks around the country, and living in Indiana, I've never been able to drag myself to Indiana Beach. Mainly because Holiday World/Splashing Safari is so close, but also because Indiana Beach just doesn't look thrilling enough... but I hafta say, watching this... I do wanna check it out. Thanks again!!

The trains for all American triple loop aren’t actually quimera’s, it’s quimeras layout, but it’s the now defunct mindbender at galaxy lands train.
@MidcourseDiscourse
@MidcourseDiscourse 20 күн бұрын
Yeah! It’s interesting that those trains are made up of only front cars, but from what I hear, that was done because there are more axels this way. More axels would hypothetically reduce the chance of another “mindbender type” of accident.

What people don't know and obviously won't be told by Indiana Beach is that in 2019 this coaster, when it stood in Mexico, derailed and killed 2 riders. Injured 5 others. Most of that was due to lack of Maintenance and it seem IB did a great restoration job.... but still history is history.

Enjoyed the commentary and the style except the editing. I really want to love this channel because it's different, but the sudden cuts are too much for me. Reminds me of the overused JJ Abrahms flares in the Star Trek films. Too distracting and even disorienting. Less is more. I'm old though so it's probably just me. I will certainly check back again soon to see if future edits are more watchable. Really love the concept and your chill personality. Very talented.

Genuinely appreciate the feedback, and for at least giving my channel a try. Out of curiosity, are you referring to frequent cuts during the dialogue potions, or during g the ride b-roll? I’m still playing around with how to structure these videos, and genuinely do appreciate the feedback. I do corporate and doc video work occupationally, so I sort of am throwing a lot at the wall and seeing what sticks in regard to this KZbin channel. Regardless, I’m hoping to continue to refine both how I present to the camera (reducing cuts during dialogue), as well as how I record off-ride video (often my usable clips are so short that I HAVE to mash them together a bit on the quick side). I appreciate the input:)
