Our thrill ride lineup at Beech Bend is truly top notch. Our newest additions are Air Race and the majestic Bluegrass Breeze Swings. These new thrills along with the addition of Zero G and Vortex over the last few summers has really taken the thrills to a whole new level! We still have plenty of family friendly rides, but if thrills are your thing, this is the place to be!
Air Race
AIR RACE is a brand new ride experience. It takes riders on an awesome adventure, replicating the experiences and sensations of acrobatic flight. Loops, banks, dives and weightlessness will test even the most experienced thrill seekers. Air Race takes riders 30 feet above the ground and riders experience accelerations of almost 3G’s, right side up, upside down and everything in between.

Moby Dick
Rotate at high speeds both clockwise and counter-clockwise on the thrilling Moby Dick. The 24-passenger platform offers excitement to all its riders, and it is one of the more unique rides in the park. (Click on the image to the left to view an on-ride video of the Moby Dick!)

Sea Dragon
The Sea Dragon, purchased from Michael Jackson’s NEVERLAND RANCH in November of 2008, has been a hit since its inaugural year. Riders sit in 10 seats facing each other and swing back and forth, reaching an angle of 90 degrees at the highest point of 60 feet. Riders can get the sense of weightlessness, especially on the end seats during the exciting ride. (Click on the image to the left to view a video of the Sea Dragon!)

Vortex
We are sorry, but Vortex will be closed for the remainder of 2024 due to a parts shortage.
Vortex is a one-of-a-kind thrill ride at Beech Bend. In fact, it is one of the most unique rides in the region! This radical swinging pendulum ride soars 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 maximum height of the swing, riders will be suspended upside down!

Wild Mouse
The Wild Mouse has often been mistaken by guests as a children’s ride…it most surely is not! Climb up a 60 foot chain hill and go through a series of steep drops, only to encounter turns that will leave your mouse car spinning ferociously.

Riders will feel weightless, a true zero gravity experience.
