Get ready to experience something never before seen at
Beech Bend Park. Introducing Zero-G, the tallest ride to ever strike Beech
Bend! Zero-G will pull its riders 140 feet in the air, a full 40 feet
taller than even the mighty Kentucky Rumbler. Then feel the sky drop around
you, as you plummet downwards at speeds of 60 mph. Riders will feel
weightless, a true zero gravity experience.
Get ready to feel a ride like no other on May 5, 2012, as you drop into the
world of Zero-G!

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! |
