Here in southern Indiana we do not have much, but we have Holiday World and Splashin Safari. It is located in Santa Claus Indiana and is the first ever amusement park in the nation.
This year they are opening a new water ride. It is called the Pilgrams plunge. It goes 131 foot up in the air on an open air elevator that lifts the passenger boat up to the top. The boats come down at a 45 degree angle and makes a wall of water fly up about 45 feet into the air.
I have a couple of videos here for you to watch. A few of them are animated versions...but I cant wait to ride it.

we also have the VOYAGE...rollercoaster
The Voyage is a hybrid wooden roller coaster which opened in May 2006 at Holiday World, an amusement park located in Santa Claus, Indiana, USA. A wooden hybrid consists of a steel structure with wood track. The Voyage has a lift hill of 163 feet, followed by drops of 154 feet, 107 feet and 100 feet. It travels underground through tunnels five times. It is the third longest wooden coaster in the world at 6,442 feet and fourth fastest at 67.4 mph. In addition, The Voyage has the most air time of any wooden roller coaster in the world with 24.2 seconds and features three 90-degree banked turns and a first drop that is a steep 66 degrees. The Voyage is also the sixth tallest wooden roller coaster. In 2006, The Voyage won the Golden Ticket Award from Amusement Today magazine as the Best New Ride. In 2007, The Voyage was awarded the Golden Ticket Award for Best Wooden Coaster. It retained the title in 2008.
