A great old arcade where you would expect to find one, in an old fashioned amusement park but bad news looms for it's future..

Indiana Beach being host to a good sized arcade is no surprise to anyone who has been to Indiana beach. It just fits the old fashioned carnival atmosphere prevalent throughout Indiana beach. So what's the threat? In 2011 it has been bought out by the big boys. Its no longer a privately held and owned family type business. When visiting there this year (2011) the signs of change were everywhere. Typical herd 'em up ticket booths going up in the parking lot, age old put put courses being plowed under, just the signs of the typical King's Island commercialism creeping in and with that arcades go out.
Lets hope this one with not only video games but old fashioned games and machines like fortune tellers can be saved.
