It's like an old friend died.

[@itsbrooklynbrown]

I’ve been going there sense I was around 4 years old. We go at least 2 times a year it’s our family tradition. I’ve made so many good memories there. I’m gonna miss it so much:(

[@LynneAnn51]

Heartbreaking 💔😢. The community, the stores, the people, the campground. 😢😢😢

[@lamarlamar2413]

What sad news man. Had a great time there back in 2010 with my family and was planning to go back. From michigan city indiana so right up the road.

[@Colts657]

It's not bad now, still good

[@damienshirar8168]

Damn I'm glad I went one last time before it closed

[@natelove187]

Call up Vice President Mike Pence so he can move some elbows and save the park👍🇺🇸

[@kenyonfoxx2048]

the house he was standing in front of was the last one i stayed in while i was their😔

[@angelocasio3635]

Why can the city buy it ?

[@awesomemusic8834]

That would be a great idea

[@ty.Tibor123]

Would be the best and ideal . Question is how much could that park cost.

[@cornmangamer5225]

Angel Ocasio because it’s a 96 year old park that cost $2.5 million a season for upkeep and repairs. The city of Montecello offered $3 million to a buyer (what they would do with that money is beyond me). As sad as I am to say this, Indiana Beach is most likely done for.

What are they gonna do with the steel hawg the most coolest coaster?

[@monacoGP11]

But no

[@jasonclift676]

It reopened

[@ty.Tibor123]

[@GoGoggansGo]

The place sucked and wasn’t any fun, it’s not a surprise it closed

[@cornmangamer5225]
