Afterburner rollercoaster
Fun Spot Amusement Park & Zoo is a small family amusement park located in Angola, Indiana. Although it was small in comparison to parks in neighboring states, such as Cedar Point and Michigan's Adventure, it remained one of the largest parks in the region. It also once boasted the only operating roller coaster (Afterburner) with an inversion in the state of Indiana, until Steel Hawg at Indiana Beach opened in 2008. It is also historic, having opened in 1956. The park has been closed since 2008, and therefore has the designation standing but not operating.
