spaceace12 Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Yeah, they had one, the reason they are adding another, on a busy day, monsoon lagoon is packed. Cant' wait for HWN, do I sense ERT water park session on Bakuli, Bahari wave pool, Bahari River and Kima Bay. Maybe we will get ert on the Carousel and spring ride, lol.
almightyfire Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 From what I just read, the new additons didnt warrant a big announcement. Now Farenheit was a big annoucement not a kiddie ride. Sorry i dont see the big deal with kiddie oriented rides.
Moose Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 ^It's called marketing. If you can make the public excited over smaller rides, then you are doing it right. It is important to get yourself noticed all the time not just when you add huge roller coasters, hence the announcement for some smaller ride.
disneygurlz2s Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 I am so excited about the additions! The bumper boats are something we never even bothered with because the line was always so long! Kudos Will, Pat, Paula and gang for coming through for your guests! Shari
thecoasterkid Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 A carousel is a perfect fit for Holiday World! It's the ultimate traditional park and now they have THE traditional ride! Even more family friendly attractions at a family friendly park can only make the place better. Holiday World was one of my favourite parks on the Mid-West trip. I spent an entire day at the park checking everything out, and I didn't even visit the waterpark. I can't wait to get back there again! The youtube announcement was cool and totally unique too! It's nice having the owners of the park sit down and talk to you personally about their additions. Much better than the normal boring yet high budget events some other parks put on. I don't see too many other parks following along with this though, so you guys can continue to hold onto your unique way of marketing in the future! Will's hint of a steel coaster in years to come has me excited too! Have I mentioned how much I loved the park yet? Yes? Well, I'll say it again then. Holiday World, you rock!
Raven Maven Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 From what I just read, the new additons didnt warrant a big announcement. I think this fellow may disagree with you: http://www.fool.com/investing/dividends-income/2007/11/30/you-must-be-this-tall-to-ride-in-cyberspace.aspx. But...then again ... he's a Fool. Paula
TheRapidsNerd Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Hey, glad to see these new additions hope to get there summer 2008.
gmoney422 Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 When we were there for the Midwest Trip, the Shady Boyz got to talk with Pat for awhile. We were teasing her trying to get her to tell us what they were adding for next year. She said it was something she always wanted. I guessed Carousel of Progress...I was wrong but I was very, very close...! I think I scared her. G "I almost had ya, Pat" Money
spaceace12 Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 If anyone remembers those awesome views you could only get of Voyage from walk backs, well, now the GP can get some good views. They have cleared a bunch fo trees from behind Bakuli for Kima bay and the Pepsi Owasis and restrooms.
willski Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Sorry to bring back this old thread, but I saw something on that last picture. I love Holiday World, but I really don't like the way they've expanded the park down in the valley/waterpark area. Instead of keeping some trees, they've just clear-cut everything. The water park has zero shade, and some of the lines can get pretty long. Shade would be great (especially from trees) for making those longer lines more bearable. Something like what Whitewater in Atlanta has done; there is a ton of natural shade, and the park is greatly improved by it. It's a shame they clear cut all those really tall old trees, they'd provide great shade.
SharkTums Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 ^I know what you mean, we were really surprised by WhiteWater, it was a great park!
ParkTrips Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I don't see how you can like Whitewater, it had some of the ugliest dudes on earth in attendance that day...
spaceace12 Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Holiday World will always be special because that is the park that got me to coasters, but besides opening day, HWN, closing day, and a few other days....the park is starting to bore me. Last season I had just as much fun or more at Indy Beach and Six Flags St. Louis as I did at HW, if not more. I still love the park and everything that goes with it, but you can only do so much of a few things on busy days.
