I did notice that they have added Season Pass perks for the 2014 season to their website. http://indianabeach.com/pages/indianabeach_promotions#ibapseasonpassperksbanner

Paging Dane on this one. I would suggest sending him a PM!

I am still trying to understand the concept here. So you incorporate the 3000 ft of TR track into this new coaster. Is it still called Thunder Run, renamed Thunder Run Extended Version, or go with something else completely? If the new section of track is not over 3,000ft (more than 50%) longer than the track that TR current occupies, can you classify it as a new coaster? If this was a CF park I would see PR and Marketing having a hard time selling this, even to the GP.

The guy was kidding... Are you saying the person that posted on TPR was kidding, or the staff writer over at http://insiderlouisville.com/news/2014/01/06/monday-business-briefing-lousy-time-health-care-edition-problems-baptist-hospital-systems/ That post that shows up in the middle of their article seems quite fishy to me...

I looked in other IB threads, but not that one. Plus, if it is going to be discussed, I don't want to do that in the same thread that is about the former owners passing.

I would hate to see IB go! I had always hoped that one day the Koch family would purchase IB and own a park up north as well, but with their turmoil, I am not sure they would/should take on another park.

I have only been to BGW, but that was about 17 years ago.. I refrain from voting since of the longevity and not visiting both parks!

Great report Lucas! Can't wait for Opening day 2014, I am sure it will be just as memorable as this closing day!

Cool looking streetcar!

Maybe they have just now realized their in-house marketing is not working?

HA! Here is our own Snoopy doing the Harlem Shake!

Great pictures, TombRaiderFTW!

How about one of those snow machine from GWL?

More like the Harlem Shake! Awww. You edited, didn't you?I liked it better before. Harem Shake indeed. Freudian slip? Yes I did, sorry! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

I am pretty sure that in a walk back tour it was stated there would be no trims. I could be wrong on this!

Nice report Lora, stated working on mine yesterday and have not gotten back to it. Been very busy this week! Uh... what was I doing here? More like the Harlem Shake!

Sorry, tried to edit my post and it double posted?

I will tell him on the way there! I think a suitcase, and riding with LoraX and Katie will sort of make him question a doctors visit!

This is going to be a surprise to my son. We are telling him he has a doctors appointment on Friday!

It depends if you want to be at top speed of the train coming out of the hill (front) or going down the hill (back). Personally, on The Bat, I like the feeling in the front of the train. Most other coasters I prefer to be going faster while going down the hill. (Ex: DB)

I am sure Action Zone as a whole is going to be a lot more busy the next few seasons!

But the wars are over Drop Towers now, not coasters.

Ditto on that! I would love to see some merchandise for The Bat!

Today it shows the poll is closed, but does not show the results? So much for going back and taking a look at the final numbers!

I voted for KIC! I agree with Sheikra_rocks!
