Hoosier Hurricane
Hoosier Hurricane is a wooden roller coaster at Indiana Beach in Monticello, Indiana. The ride was designed by Dennis McNulty and Larry Bill of Custom Coasters International. It opened on May 27, 1994, as the park's largest wooden roller coaster and the first wooden roller coaster built in Indiana in fifty years. The ride was Custom Coasters International's third roller coaster designed and the first modern wooden coaster built with a steel support structure, which would eventually become a trend on many wooden coasters designed by them. Hoosier Hurricane, like other coasters in the park, was 'shoehorned' into the park. The ride hugs the shores of Lake Shafer, parallels most of the boardwalk, and suddenly turns near the Giant Gondola Wheel. Hurricane's structure is shared with nearby Cornball Express for a small portion of the ride (the S-turn before the drop). Hoosier Hurricane is designed to accommodate 2 trains, but due to low attendance, the park typically only runs 1. Even running only 1 train, you can typically expect a short or no wait time. Hoosier Hurricane was originally slated to be named Cornball Express while it was being designed, however the name was tossed in favor of Hoosier Hurricane. The name Cornball Express was eventually given to the Park's second wooden coaster, built in 2001.
