HolidayWorldFTW

I hope they are ready for the attendance increase this will bring them lol. Kinda a good thing they expanded the water park so much before doing this thing! They have their planning game on point!

I'm so so so excited to ride this! I got the name right... Thunderbird! Hahaha but I must confess now,,, I found the trademark application for it when I first posted that name on here( they were SNEAKY). This ride was NOT for the enthusiasts this ride was all about us GP and fans of Holiday World who have been BEGGING for YEARS for this type of ride! They went way beyond my expectations! It's going to look beautiful in the park! The theming is just fantastic and the whole rode experience looks just absolutely amazing! Thank you SOOOOOO much Holiday World! You just sold another season pass for next year!

BTW I'm Jstuts5797 on the coasterradio chat

I DO actually have tissues ready for tears.... becuase I expect this will be a tear jerker for us HW fans.

You mean a chat room? That WOULD be cool!

I'm coasterchitchat. Hmm I don't see that name listed as in the chat...

Looks like its about to hit 700! wow.....just wow

Any of you in the CoasterRadio chat room? would be awesome to virtual meet some of you, lol

Yup showing 572 now... quickly rising. I was thinking the same thing about the servers, lol. Glad they are prepared!

LOL There is already 530 viewers on the teaser site, lol... and we are still 24 min away from the beginning of the festivities! lol

Paula thanks so so much...more than you know (see my post from yesterday for an idea of exactly HOW much lol) For everyone else... I"m getting set up here for the announcement. I want to make sure my sound is working ok. Just to make sure, the teaser animation does NOT contain audio right now correct?

Yours and mine both bro! Lol it's ok though I need something to help pass the time until 8pm lol

I wonder if we will actually start to see track or steel arrive on site as soon as tomorrow? They did a lot of work to the right of the cam view today it appears... Right in front of that building and to the right.

If it were not for this thread I would have not even registered lol. I am registered on another coaster site but they have become not nearly as friendly and take themselves far to seriously,... So I registered here for this coaster campaign. Glad I did now! Heck now I'm considering becoming a member!

T minus three hours and counting

For me on my PC I can see the litter teaser animation. On my ipad I see a message to tune in at 8:15PM

Actually it begins at 8:15 PM THEIR time as Holiday World is in the central time zone as is much of southern Indiana. Don't mean to bust on ya HolidayWorldFTW, but the majority of Southern Indiana is in the eastern time zone. The central time zone only extends as far east as Perry County, and the only county north of Evansville that is included is Gibson County. Everything else south of I-70 is in the eastern time zone. I didn't mean most I meant much. Bad choice of words on my part. Most of us down here on central are unwilling to move to eastern. I'm kind of one of them. Indy pretty much disowns Evansville and the surrounding area and we liked to be aligned with Chicago time much more.

MORE digging going on on the right side of the cam. Looks like something is being dug in front of that large opening in the building and something else being dug closer to the cam

I wonder if any of the construction crew gets any excitement from all the buzz? Or is it just another day at work for them? There sure does seem to be lots of activity on the construction site today. Wonder If today is the start of the construction phase that would give it all away or if tomorrow is the start?

LLLLLOOOOONNNNGGGGGEST day EVER. And it's only 7:30 AM here. Watching local off and on coverage... Btw the reporter that rode the mammoth really isn't "local" per say. Holiday World is in the Evansville local TV market. Although it's just as close to Louisville I believe distance wise.

Oh noes... Anyone else having trouble connecting to the construction cam this morning?

If your in the Evansville area you can get off and on coverage this morning and throughout the day starting on 14 News Sunrise... WFIE

Nope I too would be EXTREMELY happy with a wing coaster as well. I love those rides! But in all honestly I'll love any coaster they will put in. I'm not too terribly picky about coasters at all. I pretty much love them all. BTW I also thing there will be a loop or few involved...with some water elements...
