Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
KristenLeigh replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I just went this past Sunday for the 1st time this year. I actually felt way safer than at Walmart (where I work). We wore masks to get in the park, inside buildings. We also put them on when we had a 20 minute downpour the hour before it closed for the night (was at the game stations across from Firecracker). It wasn't crowded which I was pleased about. It made wait times very short and I loved the Inline System! I hope they keep the concept. Although Voyage had a wait for 45 minutes and to only see 3 people on 1 train was strange because I'm used to full trains. Wish I could be at Holiwood N -

My hubby hasn't ridden a roller coaster ever I don't believe. Raven was 1st one i ever rode. Those Orion and Diamondback restraints freak me out too much to ride them. I know I'm safe but just can't do those. -

I got him on Wildebeest the year it opened. He acted like he enjoyed it but he says he didn't like the "airtime" feeling. It's been awhile since I rode them but are the straps anywhere behind us or are they in front? I have gotten an all clear to ride but my right shoulder doesn't move like it used to anymore. -

I'd say heights. I struggled getting him on Frightful Falls. I was impressed he went up the Eiffel Tower at Kings Island but I couldn't get him to walk over to look down. On the other hand, I told my friends we're going next summer so they can ride them with me. Wildebeest has been my #1 ride since it opened. -

Does anybody plan on going August 9th or 10th from the board? It's the only times we are in Indiana and my husband hates the water coasters. -

Thinking of making my 1st trip to the park in August. Luckily the day we'll be swinging by is a day they're open. I haven't been since May 2019 and I'm excited to finally have an all clear to ride the rides (spent the last operating season in a sling)! -

Is that open to the public or just us passholders? Either way I'll be there that day and can represent the forum if need be. I'm excited for new ride announcements especially a big coaster! -

I can't wait to go and ride this. I'm actually thinking of getting season passes and I'm 5 hours away. Can anybody tell where this might be located?? Is it near the other 2?? -

2nd victim dies from Ohio State Fair
KristenLeigh replied to KristenLeigh's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
News here reported it was unrelated to the ride accident. -
I had no idea where to post but the Fireball accident at the Ohio State Fair in 2017 has claimed another victim. My local news is reporting it as we speak. I know rides can be dangerous at a fair or amusement park but as a park visitor I have trust that the secured locks/restrains will work. I know when I was at Kings Island a few weeks ago there was a kid let on a ride that he was obviously to short to ride. I don't remember which rode but O was shocked they let him on. https://www.10tv.com/article/teen-injured-ohio-state-fair-ride-accident-dies

Well my friends and I went to Kings Island but didn't get there until 1:30-2pm. We spent the majority of our time in the waterpark since it was hot and sunny. We ended up doing both wave pools, the family raft ride, sand volleyball court and the lazy river, which we did 6 laps. One thing though, the waterslide with the whole family is a bit rough of a landing when you bounce in the air. I'll take Holiday World's version 10x over Kings Island's. The tornado waterslide we didn't ride cause I've done it quite a bit at Splashin Safari. Then it was to the dry park. Only coasters we got on was The -
