There's an interesting mine ride at Indiana Beach which is a look back at how coasters used to be.  Some of the first coasters were scenic railways which went through rooms with different scenes that the riders could look at. This one has a lost mine motif and here's the "coaster" section of the ride where the ride coasts down a hill and around a turn.

One of Indiana Beach's featured attractions is the infamous fish.  At times the fish are so packed together for food that they're practically out of water.

This year Indiana Beach put up a new Double Shot from S&S the creators of the Big Shot in Vegas and the Power Tower at CP.  This is a bit different from those rides because you get shot up and as soon as you reach the top another blast of air shoots you down creating extreme airtime.  Super cool!  Definitely a reason to get to the beach.

As I remember it from my first visit to Indiana Beach back in 1979 (when I was 7) this scrambler's back half didn't have a fence and the ride actually went out over the lake but it could be a warped child's memory?
