Vonni Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I think the ideas for 2015 are starting to go a little bit to far... Â Â Whatever happened to just wanting a signature steel Coaster? Lol! Although, the fire breathing turkeys do sound epic! Or a new show where Santa duels with Uncle Sam and the prize is Turkey and Pumpkin Pie! Sorry....too much?

Rollercoaster Rider Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I think I looked a little too far into the "juicy and woodsy" comment. It turns out the new attraction for 2015 will be a dark ride called "Happy the Elf's Juice Factory of Death". The ride vehicles will float in a river of grape juice, with cups provided to the guests so they can dip them into the juice and get a free drink. At first the riders will float past cheerful elves working their daily jobs, but suddenly the elves will turn out to be sinister, evil creatures. Riders will narrowly avoid saws dangling from the ceilings, bursts of flames, and streams of the elve's acid urine.   Hey if they took that and themed it like Professor Burp's Bubbleworks, It would be a fun ride for the park.

Hoppy Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Since everyone wants to continue talking about the 'next coaster' at HW...they could fit a few coasters up and around the water park...massive terrain coaster and a Terra Coaster by Intamin, with Dual LSMs similar to Maverick would be mighty nice!   Fire does make anything better.  Well...almost. X2 the fire never worked, or when it did...it was always lagging behind - "What fire?" many people would say  Perhaps that has been fixed since I visited SFMM.

Rollercoaster Rider Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Maybe a Polar X-Plorer, 13, Verbolten type coaster could work for the park? Maybe pull a Magnum and cut through 1/2 of the waterpark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeykaise Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I know there are fellow IT'ers besides myself that call TPR home and thought I would share their fb posting just in case anyone might be interested, I would but I lack the management experience, and wife already said no anyways because she said I wouldn't get any work done that I'd be on the coasters all day. She's probably right about that one.

ZeroGravity55 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I've always thought HW could use a transportation system in the park once they get a little bigger. I believe that there is 100 ft elevation difference from the entrance to the Thanksgiving section. I always thought a monorail that went through the park and waterpark would be cool. Maybe it could take an adventure into the woods too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 ^ That would be really cool! I never thought about a Monorail! Would be cool if HW chose to revive that concept! Â Â As far as Coaster ideas go, it would be cool to see a Coaster interact with the other side of Lake Rudolph. Perhaps "mirror" The Raven in some way....

Woodie Warrior Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 A monorail would be too large scale in my opinion for a small/medium sized park like Holiday World. A Chance SkyQuest is small but would look cool above the water park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 ^ They're small and medium sized now, but I believe they still have around 100 acres to develop on. My guess would be that they'll eventually end up gong across the road with the theme park. I'm pretty sure they own that huge field across from Highway 162.

ZeroGravity55 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 think a chair lift or a train would be a better fit for Holiday World than a monorail. Both would go better with woods around the park. Â Anytime I think of a chair lift, I think of Cedar Point, probably because it was the only one I've ever rode. That chair lift goes straight down the midway on a flat piece of ground. The problem with HW is that the current park was constructed without a thought of ever having a transportation system, not to mention HW's crazy topography. A chair lift would have to navigate above trees (HW doesn't like to get rid of trees), above current rides, and above pathways. Then you have to worry about people throwing things from the chair lift. I think that a chair lift would be too much trouble to put in and make work. I think a train is probably more of the route HW will go. They can navigate it around the park without having to change the infrastructure of the park significantly.

Moose Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 A chair lift is much easier at navigating terrain than most other types of transportations systems. That's why they are used at ski resorts, which the whole purpose of is to navigate huge changes in elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 ^ That's a good point. I just think it's going to be really hard to put one in with the way the park is currently constructed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonni Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 ^ I thought it was further away and that HW owned part of that land, but I've not been to HW very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 ^ Lake Rudolph was owned by Will and Dan Koch's brother, Phillip, but he sadly passed away earlier this year. I don't know who took over the campground, but I'm pretty sure it's still in the Koch family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I agree with you. Plus HW offers a lot to those who cannot navigate the park on foot. Like SDC, I saw golf carts for rent (unless that changed/perhaps was a special event).
