Hoosier Hurricane, Wooden roller coaster at Indiana Beach in Monticello, United States.
Description
The Hoosier Hurricane is a wooden roller coaster at Indiana Beach featuring a track that stretches nearly 2900 feet long and reaches about 77 feet high. Steel support structures underneath the wooden frame provide stability while allowing the ride to deliver fast descents and steep angles.
History
The ride opened in 1994 and marked the first wooden roller coaster built in Indiana in 50 years. Its construction introduced a new approach to wooden coaster design by combining traditional wooden track with modern steel support systems.
Culture
The name connects to Indiana's local identity, with residents known as Hoosiers throughout the region. This ride serves as a gathering point where families and friends share the experience of speed and motion together.
