Jarmor, I’ve thought the same things as you. For expansion, it seems that HW has tons of room to expand in many directions. 1. They could theoretically move the entrace forward into the Raven parking lot and open up the entrance plaza 2. Lots of room in the woods between Raven and Legend and along Lake Rudolph. I’d rather keep the woods and seclusion though. It was fun to walk though this area at HWN. 3. Lots of room just past the picnic groves 4. Of course, a huge amount of potential where the old Pilgrim’s Plunge was (an RMC Raptor would fit nicely here) and the Hyena Falls slide complex. There is easily a decades worth of space here. The cornfields next to Thunderbird are a huge blank slate as well. The bigger question is, how much bigger CAN and SHOULD they realistically expand. I love the “big park experience with a small park charm” vibe. I am still honestly surprised they went so big with Thunderbird, and it’s hard for me to imagine them continuing at the current pace, especially if Kentucky Kingdom is able to thrive. If all they did was keep the current coasters (and park in general) at a high level of quality and fun, I’d make the 3 hour drive every year for life. That said, I think an RMC Raptor would be a nice addition to round out the thrill coaster collection, and a junior wooden coaster (like Wooden Warrior) with a Rudolph lead car and a Santa Sleigh in the back) would be a great intermediate ride for families. I wonder if the new Kentucky Flyer 1 hour away will affect any potential for this. I can’t think of any other suitable holidays, and would honestly rather see more Christmas themed attractions, since there are really none besides shops, a restaurant, and a few kiddie rides. In any case, Holiday World is probably my favorite park.
