Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
jynx242 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's been a while since I've been but I don't remember seeing a lot of people being denied rides on the Voyage and B&M's have always been pretty forgiving. As far as removing your shirt - I wouldn't sweat it. You can leave it on of course, but once you are there and see all of the other people who are larger you might very well stop being concerned about it! I'm super happy for you that you are getting to go and I hope you have an AMAZING Time! -

Great report! I truly loved Adventureland during my visit there. So full of Charm! I'll agree on Dragon though, ugh - that pre-lift let you know what was about to happen to you -

Love this report. I grew up with SFoG (and worked there in the 80's,) and it is my home park again. I could do MUCH worse with a home park and Mindbender is still one of my favorite rides anywhere. Haven't ridden Rampage since 2009 and it sounds like it is still running the same. It was very aggressive, but awesome. David -
^ I was thinking the same thing when I read that St. Louis is re-opening theirs. Plenty of spare parts available now Went yesterday with my little guy. I didn't realize that he was allowed to drive the Antique Cars (Hanson Cars.) After the log flume I think this is is favorite ride and I "got" do do it 5 times in a row. This is after three times on the kiddie coaster, twice on the log flume and a ride on the Sky Buckets. David

Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread

Thanks for the pictures - I love seeing a new ride being built David -
This was my first time experiencing Moose on the Loose. I thought the ride was perfect outside of my moose having laryngitis. It was cute and the audio I overheard from other vehicles put a smile on my face. I made it back from my 3 year old daughter's first trip to the park (about a month ago) and for weeks she would pretend that she was riding Moose on the Loose when she sat on the recliner. I'm just working on raising children who enjoy amusement parks so that I have a better excuse to go to them myself I can totally relate to this. I am the guardian for my 3 year old great nephew and take him to SFoG fairly often. We don't have anything like Moose on the Loose, but He loves the Monster Mansion, the kids coaster and his new favorite is the log flume (rode it 9 times in a row last weekend)

Awesome report! I haven't been to Kentucky Kingdom since it was a Six Flags park but it is on my list of places to go - even though I have to bring my gay ass to Kentucky to get there -
^ Welcome (soon) to Georgia. We're glad you are here. SFoG is really a damned good home park. It definitely has some of the "Six Flags" problems, but is (in my opinion) one of the better parks in the chain. Went yesterday with my 3 year old great nephew again. It is cool to see the experience from his eyes, even if I can only look longingly at Twisted Cyclone, Mindbender, Goliath, etc... He loves the Monster Mansion and the Joker Funhouse Coaster, but the Log Flume is by far his new favorite ride. Rode it 8 times in a row yesterday, and luckily it was slow enough that the staff kept letting us stay on

Always love to see a report from you Andy! This is one of those parks that you think, if they had a few hundred thousand dollars for infrastructure and restoration that it could really make the park look better. David -
Hoppedup's Roller Coaster Adventures

It's awesome that you guys get to do this! That is a TON of quality time right there. I hope to do this kind of thing with my little guy when he gets older (he's 3 now and loves the coasters and rides he can ride, but not tall enough to warrant a road trip ) -

Love all of the facial expressions and that chick should not have her phone out on the ride -

^ and ^^ - Gave me a chuckle this morning so Thanks. On Topic - a hotel near a park will NEVER be at a $49 price point unless it is during the offseason and the park is closed. -

^ Great pictures! Thanks for sharing them. I found Copperhead Strike to be just a FUN ride. Not super intense or anything, but a laugh a minute and everyone gets off with a huge smile on their face. -
Sky buckets were running on Friday afternoon. My 3 year old great nephew and I went for a while. He's big enough for the Log Flume and Sky Buckets which he loves (made me think of coasterbill.) First time on Monster Mansion for him. He squished up next to me in the dark part and told me he was scared, then insisted that we ride it three more times
