    The roller coaster you pointed out while on The skyride was one of the original coasters, used to be called the Galaxie. It was removed by the previous owners. When I was a kid, the mine cars didn't have the cages on the top of the cars either! I loved the haunted castle tour! The new owners have done an incredible job at adding new rides, and improving the park. But keeping the oldschool. nostalgic feel that the beach has always had. Thanks for visiting! Oh, and it's pronounced monti-sell-o.

    Just went there this past weekend & my boyfriend actually rode the rides without me convincing him😂 He said compared to Cedar's points, coasters these r doable. I enjoyed this ride the most. Loved the nostalgic feel of this park. If u have scaredy-cat types in your family, this is the perfect place for beginners. I also had the best funnel cake I ever tasted, which was being sold by the fallingstar ride.

    The landowners declined to extend the lease on the land in early 2009 and Kiddieland closed at the end of the 2009 season. In late June of 2010, it was announced that Kiddieland would be demolished. Kiddieland had over 30 rides and attractions and was Chicagoland's oldest family amusement park when it closed forever.

    I visited Kiddieland in Melrose Park, IL many, many times in the '70's. I rode that particular ride. I'm glad it's still around. I recall that ride being called "The Octopus" back then, not the Polyp.
    FYI : Kiddieland's famous coaster "The Little Dipper" was also saved. It was acquired by Six Flags & rebuilt at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, IL.

    That's my park man. I've been there hundreds and hundreds of times and I've had some great times at Indiana Beach. One not so great time was when I was probably 7 I almost fell off of that sky ride sort of. My mom and sister were getting on and I was told to stay back with my grandparents, and as you know it doesn't stop so you can board, so just as they were sitting down and taking off I ran and hung onto the back. The guy saw me and my mom was screaming to stop the ride and when it finally stopped I was dangling above that last little part of fencing before it's a straight drop to the ground. He reversed it and we all got off but I never let go so I was proud of that but let's just say my mom wasn't too thrilled.
