McSalsa Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Uh-Oh. Here is some bad news out of Indiana Beach- a ride mechanic was apparently hit by a ride train while working on Cornball Express, I assume it was the same ride that hit him. He survived but is badly injured. http://wishtv.com/2016/09/03/man-severely-injured-by-roller-coaster-at-indiana-beach/ Hopefully this guy makes a full recovery.

CoastersRZ Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hopefully he is ok and able to recover. I wonder exactly what happened. Ie, was something not done according to procedure, if he was hit by a train. I`m sure this will have an impact on the crew at Indiana Beach. I know Coney`s four rides mechanics fairly well. I would be saddened if something serious like this ever happened to them at Coney. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 electricsun and I were at the park when this happened. We rode it about 1/2 hr to an hour before this happened. We did not see any of the incident, but Cornball and Hoosier Hurricane were down the rest of the day (or at least when we left around 4:30.) Not sure about the rest of the weekend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 A coworker was at the park all weekend. CB and HH were back up on Sunday according to my source. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
