Summer is Indiana Beach. It's also, cruisin' the strip in that classic car, baseball, cookouts,
boating, water skiing, fishing, swimming, picnics, roller coasters, water
slides, lake cruises, hot dogs, shakes and, yes, cotton candy too. Well, I guess you get the idea.
Oh, did I mention roller coasters? You'll find the state's newest, the Steel Hawg, one of the largest, the Hoosier Hurricane, and dozens of amusement rides. Others include two steel coasters, the Galaxi and
Tig'rr along with the wooden Cornball Express and Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain. Cool off with six water slides and the Action River or simply enjoy the senic beauty and just watch the world go by. |
