^This device will express my excitement right now.

The unexpected arrival of the Thunderbird car which was (not actually ) unveiled at IAAPA last month caused a bit of a scurry to load it onto the storage track before the weather gets wintery again.

 

The rest of the first train should arrive in the coming week. As James told us this morning, "The train is on a train."

I think it is so cool to see The Voyage right next to a B&M at the same park, like a fantastic legendary wooden coaster (IMO) next to a brand new steel coaster. Probably stating the obvious, but I'm really looking forward to this ride. A lot.

[mikejenkins1]

So will walls be up soon for the maintenance building to shield the train from bad weather?

[Raven Maven]

^ It wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Just wanted to come in here and thank the good folks at holiday world for the nice Christmas card I got in the mail today and to say I can't wait to see what santa brought for you in person in may at holliwood nights.

Speaking of that Thunderbird car at IAAPA, thanks again for stopping a couple of us Show Ambassadors dead in our tracks as we were suspiciously exploring. The beauty of that car was causing our minds to run wild of a possible plot to lift that thing off the floor to keep for ourselves.

 

Keep up the great work! Can't wait to make it down to Santa Claus, Indiana again!

And here is the first of the 10 cars that will be arriving at HW in the next few months. From HW's Twitter:

I walking by one of the teachers in my school. He was watching the video from Holiday World's FB when they were putting the train on the track.

Are you the Ambassadors I yelled, "Hey, don't touch!" at by the B&M booth? I had too much fun scaring people that week. Heck of an icebreaker, though ...

Have to ask - what subject does he teach?

LOL, tough job he has.

Yes but no one hears about it because it's silent.....

[Whodey]

So what are the chances there will be a media day like KI had for Banshee? I have never been to HW and would love an excuse to head out there.

 

Really?!? Silent reading class!

I was one of the two standing there that you startled. You had me legitimately worried for a few seconds. Yes, great icebreaker!

Paula, when is Holiday World going to receive the fiberglass for the trains? I just can't wait to see what these bad boys look like! (Even though it will be months. )

If you guys haven't noticed already, there are limited edition thunderbird blueprints on the holishop. I picked one up for myself, looks pretty cool even though $39.99 is a bit steep. Only 250 were made!

Yes half of our electives make no sense. There's to many to list, but Forensic Science, SR., Band, Choir, AG, Journalism, Spanish, French, and Zoology are a few.

Just ordered mine. I've been waiting a long time for posters to show up in the Holishop. This one looks very cool

[GwaziBSRider1]

Ordered one as well. If I can actually find a place to hang them, it will look wonderful next to my flag that used to fly over the Legend!

[mikejenkins1]

Ok, is it me or did the second web cam view now get lower? It appears as it was moved (accidentallly) lower so when it zooms in it is not as high up as before. Did wind blow it down some? It is similar to taking a chopped off pic of someone now and the head is partially missing....

Thunderbird's trains look like this.
