Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread

[ginzo]

Maybe an Intamin rocket or B&M invert or floorless? We'll find out soon e nough though. at Jimmybo's idea!

 

I doubt you'll see any major Intamin or B&M installations at Holiday World any time soon. Although they're rapidly growing, they've still just reached the 1 million guests mark. This makes $20 million coasters a bit of a stretch.

 

If I were a betting man, I'd wager that their next coaster will be another Gravity Group. Though I doubt they're installing another coaster so soon after the Voyage.

 

Personally, I'd like to see them spruce up their flats. A Falling Star, Giant Swing, Giant Frisbee, or even just replacing their bumper cars with some Lusse Skooters would really help them out.

I rode some awesome bumper cars at IB, they were fast and when you hit, it bumped you, unlike hw where when you hit, unless it is at full speed, it is a tap.

 

I would love to see a smaller dive coaster, but that will never happen.

I agree. They should get a high-capacity crowd pleaser, like any form of Huss Frissbee or S&S Screamin' Swing.

 

They've already had a falling star, so I don't suposse they be getting an other one. However, If they've kept it in storage, then there is a good chance that it will re-open in the near-to-distant future.

 

I think their next coaster should be in the Independence Day section. They haven't had one since the Firecracker.

Its the Villain from Geauga Lake...its being relocated there.

[spaceace12]

They need something in Christmas too.

[OldJJman]

They're making a large employee parking structure!!

I'd rather see a large flat ride or elaborate attraction with a story than ANOTHER wooden coaster, hopefully we're not too far off from seeing a new major steel coaster at the park.

I wish they had purchased Astroworld's Greased Lightning and called it "Plymouth Rocket" (I know thats close to the name of their new restaurant)

 

Anywho, employee parking can go anywhere, I'd like to see more Thanksgiving stuff or even Easter.. as long as they pay a religous tribute.

[Guest]

On a serious note, if they do get another wood coaster, I would assume it's along the lines of Tomahawk/Pegasus/these. The park doesn't really have anything between Howler and Raven, yet they're a family park. They seem to have the thrill coasters down, so if it's another one, I'd bet it's similar to those I mentioned.

[Electerik]

The hints do make it sound rather Valentine's Day-ish. Didn't I read somewhere that Will envisioned Thanksgiving as the center of the park? (Or am I just making that up?)

 

I say it's a Tunnel Of Love!

[Swoosh]

^Yes he said in an interview that when it is 'all said and done' Thanksgiving would be the "center of the park".

 

I still can't believe they haven't added EASTER yet. I mean come on! get your photo with Santa Claus and Easter Bunny in the same day.

They're making a large employee parking structure!!

 

That was my guess. Looks like parking to me.

[imbordisux]

Maybe they're adding a Hanukkah section.

[BeemerBoy]

Carousel.

[kidcoaster]

My money is on a new area. If not maybe an expansion of Thnksgiving.

[ragerunner]

Maybe Holiday World will expand their holiday theming to include holiday's from around the world. I think this would really expand their theming options for park sections and rides.

Guy Fox Day!

Kwanzaa!

Cinco De Mayo!

 

The possabilities are endless!

[kidcoaster]

Maybe it's a parking lot coaster.

[GoldRusheROCKS]

Festivus. Vegas has it at 10 to 1.

Well, I would guess a new area, but then where would employee parking go?

[Kingda Ka 456]

I guess Holiday World doesn't still need to make rooms to put more parking lots. I saw the Voyage video, and I had turned out that they didn't still expand a lot since the dirt places can often be seen. I think they are starting to get on the track to expand the park to build new rides.

[Axman]

The could just park their cars IN Lake Rudolph...

[kidcoaster]

It seems like the are hinting toward a Valintines area Just look at the Blog Quote.

 

Be sure to pass this construction photo along to someone close to you;

 

Seems like they are trying to make the Construction photo like a valintine.

[GoldRusheROCKS]

Or Valentine's Day.
