snuggles Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Im going to Holiday World in 2007 and I was wandering if the coasters are worth riding, or any other rides. I know voyage is an awesome ride, but what about the other stuff there? ADMIN EDIT: removed from calendar
ParkTrips Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 No, you pretty much ride coasters and waterslides all day... oh, and the calling ride near Voyage (Gobbler Getaway) is cool, and they are getting an OMG NEW!!! tilt a whirl this year. Have fun.
ECZenith Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Holiday World is one of the parks with the best selections of wooden coasters, so yeah, definately worth checking out. I'll be there next year as well.
snuggles Posted September 22, 2006 Author Posted September 22, 2006 Sorry admin, Im new to this kind of forum?
SharkTums Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I think there will be a lot of us there next year! Seriously, it's a really nice park, but for coaster/thrill ride people you'll want to do the Coasters, Waterpark, and Double Shot. If you have a family, there are a lot of family rides. Don't hold the free Pepsi products against them too much.
coaster05 Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Free Mountain Dew and Orange soda is one of the greatest inventions in park history. MMMM Mountain Dew not a UK friendly drink.
larrygator Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Outside of Gobbler Getaway and the Tower Ride, I think their flats are horrible. But the coasters make it worth the trip.
jamesdillaman Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I actually enjoy their rapids ride, and the halloswings are beautiful. -James "They have some decent coasters, too " Dillaman
ginzo Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I wound up going there 3 times this year, for a total of 5 days. (It's only 3 hours away.) This turned out to be too much, as the coasters are really all that's there. Splashin' Safari was always far too crowded for my tastes, but at least that lessens the coaster waiting. One interesting thing about HW is that I think their woodies are all very close to one another in quality. The Raven is always consistently awesome, but on some days/rides the Voyage really shames it. The last time I went, however, the Voyage was running kinda slow. I'm not sure if this was because I had just ridden the Avalanche a week earlier, but it seemed to just creep down the first hill. Oh well... I wonder if you'll ever see HW install any really good flat rides. The really high end ones don't make economic sense for the park. Dollywood claims that their relatively lame-o Timber Tower costed the same that the Voyage did, $6.5 million. Now, let's see here. Should we build a major, top 10 woodie, or a flat ride? Which is going to create a real surge in attendance? Is there even any decision here at all?

Electerik Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 In my opinion, Holiday World has the finest collection of wooden coasters anywhere. Which, in and of itself, makes the park worth visiting. Yeah, there's some other nice stuff there. But, really, if someone told me that they just weren't into wooden coasters, I don't think I'd recommend Holiday World to them.
Jonathan Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 It's already been said, but yeah, there's nothing really special in terms of flats. In addition to what people have already said, the HallowSwings is a nice wave swinger, and their rapids ride is one of the better ones I have ever been on. If you like bumper cars, they have a really good set with spring boards around the edges.
socalMAN123 Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Great to hear so much positive stuff about this park, I'll be out there in 2008. I can't wait to ride those great woodies! ---Brent

mr_teisco_delrey Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Don't hold the free Pepsi products against them too much. Have you no mercy? The drinks are free. The Gatorade on a hot day is a lifesaver. The only thing bad I can say about HW is when I went to the waterpark last year, the water was as warm as bathwater. Very unpleasent.

The Gatorade on a hot day is a lifesaver. Of course the only reason they ARE free is nobody would drink the pepsi if they had to pay for it.
mr_teisco_delrey Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Thats your opinion. I don't drink Pepsi or Coke. They both are nasty.
Gnome Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Don't hold the free Pepsi products against them too much Why would you? Pepsi has Mountain Dew. And Mountain Dew = one of the best sodas ever.
