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 stumbled on your channel because I love anything to do with theme parks and coasters. You have a slightly different style to most vloggers and you stand out! Glad to be in your first 500!
Awesome video man, keep up the good work! I’m definitely trying to give this park a visit this year, it seems like a solid coaster collection with many great rides
That drop on that woodie looks pretty good. I’m sure the back row gives some good airtime being pulled down the drop This style of vlog is different but really good. Keep-um coming 💯🫵😁👍
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.
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!
@@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.
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
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 love that the Schwarzkopf has gone from Germany to Malaysia to UK to Mexico.... so obviously they'd put "All American" in the name. lol Also, the video has a nice chill vibe to it. Keep it up.
I was in the back car on Lost Coaster, didn’t even see you filming! I also walked by in the shot where you were talking to the camera in the planter, I thought you were crazy at first until I noticed the camera lmao. Love the video!
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!!
It’s totally worth a visit. I definitely prefer parks like Holiday World, but IB is incredibly unique, charming, and has a fun lineup, even if none of the rides are elite. Absolutely worth checking out!
OK shout out to you filming this by yourself and I didn't know this is where lost coaster is located! I live in Toronto and gonna make the trip out in the next few weeks! This park is such a vibe! Also why are you so hot , and you like Arby's! No one I know will eat there with me and you are passionate about coasters!:ur an absolute dreamboat lol ❤
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.
I didn't know that Charlie Puth was a Thoosie 😂. Jk jk. Great video man! I haven't been to Indiana Beach since like 2004, but yea; lost coaster was a memorable experience for sure. Looking forward to more content!
Subscribed. fun channel and not taking yourself too seriously. Also, going to try & make the 4 hr trip from central Ohio to get on the triple loop. *new credit alert*
We used to go to whirlpool company picnics that had each year when he worked still worked there. I haven’t been in so long decade or a little over. I hope we don’t lose that park The lost coaster, man I’ve rode that in every decade since the 80s except this one. 😂
Gave ya a sub. If they still do the waffle cones that’s a must 😝the tiger and the 3000 are classics all mg with the lost coaster were some of my first ones
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.
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!
6:00 YAS! Love me some 🥰🥰Shivering Timbers🥰🥰!!! Will you be going to the Michigan's Adventure passholder preview on Sunday, last year had super short lines.
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.
Dude! Idk if you’re new or not but this video is awesome! Great editing and goofy. This channel deserves way more subs, and with videos like this I’m sure you’ll get it!
Just happened across this video after an Ait Time Thrills video. Going back to Indiana Beach this year with a coaster club. Figured why not? Like it so far. We'll give a couple other videos a watch, and if the rest are like this, I'll have another coaater channel to sub to.
Great vlog format -- very laid-back vibe! Congrats on getting Lost Coaster as your 100th credit. I'm hoping to do the same making it my 400th credit (but we'll see how that goes... 😅).
Wow! Just randomly saw this video, and I'm blown away by the quality and style of this vlog! I instantly clicked that sub button. Please keep making videos! This style is so relaxing and informative. This content will blow up soon, I know it!
I do think that would be a great fit. I could also see a launched coaster, nothing crazy, but a smaller Infinity coaster or a Skyrocket II. But I don’t know if IB can handle the electric costs/loads that would create.
You have an excellent, easygoing style, and I enjoyed the video. Looking forward to more from you. I also love that LoCoSuMo was your hundredth coaster. What a memorable oddball milestone. (I’ve never ridden it, but I remember the discourse in the enthusiast community when they converted it. It’s so unabashedly weird.)
Thank you, I like making these, and am planning on doing as many as I can! I don’t think we’ll ever see another ride like Lost Coaster, and I’m glad I got to experience it!
Honestly Lost Coaster is one hell of a 100th coaster. It is my number 3 roller coaster so far because I love the theming, wackiness of it yet how it came so together so beautifully! It is so reridable with the back car giving insane ejector airtime!
I think it was totally the perfect coaster for my 100th! It’s definitely unexpectedly high in my rankings, just because it’s was pure fun! Hoping to get back at some point this year and give Lost Coaster a second go, in the back car!
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.
Great job, John! I was there the same weekend -- specifically for Dreier Looping (um ... American Triple Loop) and I agree with your assessment. Those OTSR have to go. Anton Schwarzkopf would NOT approve. Carry on, sir!
1-car on Jetstar? Say what? That's madness hahah You'd literally be better off not opening it than making people wait like that. I mean, it's doing what.... less than 100 people an hour at that? Probably half that, honestly. That's NUTS.
I know that when IB bought the ride, the existing vehicles were in such poor condition that they would need to be fully rebuilt. Instead, IB bought Galaxyland’s recently defunct Mindbender trains, which unfortunately brought us the OSTRs as well.
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 TH-cam 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:)
I could’ve said it better 😂 Chris from Airtime Thrills mentioned he didn’t see the rides test before they opened, implying that they may do their maintenance checklist the night prior, or before guests even get to the park. I didn’t mean they don’t test their rides at all
Refreshing new personality in a sea of ordinary coaster fan channels. Great video. Very descriptive. Please keep them coming.
Thanks! Planning on more videos soon :)

Congratulations on credit 💯!!
Great Video Indiana Beach one of my favorites like you said very laid back 😊
Thanks, it's definitely a gem!
Cornball in the back row has one of the best drops of any coasters.
Planning on giving the back a try next time I visit!
Really liked this. It has a Rick Steeves vibe to it.
That drop on that woodie looks pretty good. I’m sure the back row gives some good airtime being pulled down the drop

I will be at the passholder preview event! First time going to one, so I’m excited.

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.
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.
Lost coaster is the best !!!

IB needs 1 single rail coaster. It's a unique coaster, the part is unique, It's small, the park is small. Overall I think it would be a good fit
I do think that would be a great fit. I could also see a launched coaster, nothing crazy, but a smaller Infinity coaster or a Skyrocket II. But I don’t know if IB can handle the electric costs/loads that would create.
An Intamin spinning coaster would fit well too
