Beech Bend Park opens on May 4th,2013! Splash Lagoon opens May 18th!

Beech Bend will continue to offer free parking, free sunscreen and free tubes/mats. Our family is committed to providing our guests with the highest quality, family friendly entertainment in a safe, clean environment.

It's official!

Our new ride will be called

VORTEX . . .

Beech Bend owner Dallas Jones and family signed a contract to purchase a Chance Revolution ride while attending the IAAPA trade show in Orlando recently. The revolving swing will take riders 60 feet into the air reaching a maximum swing angle of 240 degrees! Riders will sit facing each other to maximize the interactive experience, and at the max height of the swing, the riders will be suspended upside down! "This is one of my all time favorite rides, and its addition will truly alter the landscape of our already fantastic park," commented Reed Gonzalez, rides supervisor and grandson of the Jones'. This new attraction will surely become the premier thrill ride at Beech Bend Park! Construction of the VORTEX is well underway. There have been construction delays due to significant rainfall this spring. Opening of the ride will likely be sometime in late June. Look for updates in the near future.

"Golden Ticket" Awards Announced-Beech Bend Park Receives High Marks

In a ceremony held recently, the 15th annual Golden Ticket Awards were announced. The Golden Ticket Awards were presented by Arlington, Texas based Amusement Today. Amusement Today is the world's leading amusement park/water park business journal. The Golden Ticket Awards have become the industry's most prestigious awards, equivalent to the "Oscar". Beech Bend Park is very proud to be recognized as the "Fifth Friendliest Park in the World" for the sixth year in a row. Beech Bend's Kentucky Rumbler wooden coaster was also ranked as the "22nd Best Wooden Coaster" in the world. "Hundreds of wooden coasters were considered for these awards. We knew we had a winner with the Kentucky Rumbler the very first time we rode it, but it is gratifying to know the rest of the world agrees," commented Dallas Jones, park president. The Kentucky Rumbler has ranked in the Top 25 every year since it was built in 2006. The Kentucky Rumbler was built by Great Coasters International, Inc. Go to the Rides and Attractions page for fun coaster facts.

Beech Bend Park was very excited when the Sea Dragon was purchased from Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch. While Michael's life was controversial at times, his contribution to the music world is legendary. With Michael's passing, we have been overwhelmed with calls and visits from fans wanting to ride the Sea Dragon from Neverland. It's a great ride!
