      Yeah so now that the park is saved why hasn't someone done something about saving the 🐟🐟🐟 🐟🐟🐟 from these horrific conditions???? Almost a buck to feed them when u barely can and they can barely get close enough due to all this littering. I cannot believe the conditions were this terrible!!! This park is banking by charging guests to feed fish that leave in a Cesspool of trash??? There is no excuse for this shit. Doesn't anyone realize how simple this is to fix the solution????? Seeing this was from several months ago I'm hoping something has been done. I swear if i lived there the issue would've been fixed in a day if i had to row my ass out there myself and clean up that shit. Fish have feelings to Indiana!!!!

    I grew up in Indiana. Last time I was at Indiana beach was 2002. I can tell you there were alot of things that changed. The walk area with the fountain use to be a miniature golf area, they also had another miniature golf area underneith the sky ride near water park, the bumper boats use to be these boats you would ride out in (usually had 2 boats) you could shoot tennis balls at the boats the boats could shoot tennis balls at the people given there was a safety net and plastic between the people, there was also a train that went back and forth in back and you could shoot them from train to, Frankenstein's haunted castle use to be walk thru with no animatronics, the bar area use to have some fancy restaurant and dining haul with an arcade underneith it, there is to be two idol statues out front, there use to be a frog slide, and snake floaties in the beach area, no lazy river but spray fountain, they also use to have that calydoscope thing you strap yourself into during the 90s and spun around, the pirate shooter ride use to be a haunted house ride like knobels that changed in 1997, the kiddie area use to have red Baron planes that were fun and you had a joystick you would pull back and go up in air, the car ride use to be winky the whale, they had a convoy kid ride to. There was another arcade near the music express, steel hawg and cornball express didn't exsist yet.

    Finally someone that highlighted the carp feeding! It might be the most iconic thing at Indiana Beach. I've been going to Indiana Beach since the '70s and the carp have always been there. I had to laugh when they turned it into an attraction. We just used to throw some of our popcorn into the water to watch the carp swim over each other to get it. Now you can actually buy carp food. Ha!

    Some of that merchandise in the gift shop has been there for at least 30 years. I remember seeing those mini coffee cups the first time I went there back in 1990. It's entirely plausible that they've been there that long, I doubt there's a high demand for that type of souvenir.

    They just opened and they are trying to get up to snuff but think we need to give them more time. They haven't even had it a year. Still better then any amusement park as far as wait times for rides. I can't wait to see them succeed. Personally if I was worried about the virus I would stay home. Common sense people.

    I was there 7/29. The carp feeding area had been cleaned of all the garbage. The Shafer Queen and log flume were both operating, but sadly the Lost Coaster was closed. While not all guests wore masks, the employees were, so I felt as safe as anywhere else. I couldn't find any free water either. There are not even any drinking fountains there.

    Lost coaster actually came with three trains. The ride is only capable of running two, and the Staples family have expressed a commitment to getting a second one running.
    The interactives on the dark ride had significantly improved by the end of the season to about 95% functionality, and the ride went from having only three functioning vehicles to seven.
    It really is a shame that the park is doing such a poor job of handling the pandemic. I understand that their local market will not adhere to those guidelines willingly. The park is in a very tough spot where they need locals to come and support it, but they also need to set standards that will make tourists feel safe and comfortable as well. With the addition of Dreier looping next year, they are really going to shoot themselves in the foot if they fail to be able to attract travelers from coming in. Probably the most significant addition this park has ever seen that could actually bring in people from around the country will fail to pay off now that the park has a reputation for very poor practices in dealing with the pandemic. I’m very anxious to see how everything plays out for them from here. More than anything though, I am beyond thrilled that the park was saved And has been making marked improvements all year.

So when i went to finish the video i was praying that part was over but it wasn't and there was a bit more of it to watch and I'm fucking livid right now!!! I want to Thankyou for filming this and getting it out there because with the success of your channel and it's viewing/exposure there's a much better chance for these babies to live in livable conditions how the fuck can they charge customer's to feed these fishes and allow them to live this way when there banking from them it's so disgusting. I feel like a koo koo right now because I'm so sad like i can't barely type my feelings due to over crying this just did something to me emotionally there's no excuse for this shit and there starving that's obvious trash is going in there mouths majority of them aren't even getting the food they so desperately need because how can they get it. Guests are paying to feed the trash point blank!!!! I'm about to get off here and find out if anything has been done. Amd they shouldn't be in starving mode either. They need a clean fixed up lagoon where they never have to drown in trash again. It's bad enough to see this in the oceans and scattered stretch of wild land's but to see it somewhere that there profiting off of this one thing that there not caring about!!!! There's no way in hell whoever saved the place and bought it out knows nothing about these conditions. It's to easy of a solution to be putting a stall on!!! Your the big owner who has much on your plate so purchase me a non-refundable round way bus 🎟 as well as the materials that's needed and I'll come out there and do it all for FREE!!!!!!
