Performance

Vs. other coasters at Indiana Beach

My brother and I rode this in the second-to-last row and all I remember were a couple of intermittent floater pops.

I'm NotHere

This coaster has a lot of potential given the phenomenal setting integration, but lack of airtime and the jackhammering take away from it.

Zach S.

Unfortunately it accumulated a rattle and lacks as any good airtime moments

Tom Fairnie

And I’m not really one to care too much about the roughness of a coaster, but the pothole in the valley below the entrance bridge is really bad.

I'm NotHere

While the location and layout of this ride feels like it should offer a very fun unique wooden coaster experience, instead you get a ride that hurts.

JJ Vavrik

I didn’t find it exceptionally rough but it had no forces and is one of the most forgettable rides ever

Inverted Thrills

very fun drops, but generally very forceless.

Jamie Óchi

It goes fairly fast and has some speed, and that combined with the wind from Lake Shafer blowing on you and enjoying the Indiana Beach atmosphere make this actually a really fun cruiser. It’s a really...

Incredible Coasters

Didn’t do anything, but its nice and quick and over the lake.

Niko Banfield

Hoosier Hurricane feels pretty fast and never really slows down.

Canobie Coaster

I agree with people before me that there are some dead spots and pacing issues.

Max S.

The big takeaways are great capacity and I never had to wait for a ride on this one.

this coaster is extremely forgettable, which is one of the worst things a coaster can be.

smacd, Captain Coaster review

Eye candy ride that looks beautiful coming across the bridge to enter the park, but ultimately does nothing.

JJ Vavrik, Captain Coaster review

Hoosier Hurricane was not only a bit rough (although nowhere close to what some say), but I was left a disappointed by the middle and ending sections.

Zach S., Captain Coaster review

While Hoosier Hurricane may be bigger than Cornball Express, it’s not nearly as fun or exciting as the ride is pretty forceless. Though on the bright side, I still like it.

Incredible Coasters, published review

It’s a shame this is such a boring coater because going along the water is beautiful.

Glass Cannonn, Captain Coaster review
