Diamondbacker27 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 ^ You can't even see the whole car, dude... how can you say best wing rider trains ever? Because he's only 15 and only posts about Thunderbird? Diamondback in the username is just a cover-up Well, sort of I LOVE Diamondback, but Thunderbird seems to be the hype for me.  Which is ironic because Diamondback is the hype®. See what I did there? I get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejenkins1 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 So looking at construction cam of the Will Power building. Is the left side caved in or an optical illusion? Better viewing and see it was an optical illusion.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) New Hard Hat Chronicles video from Facebook. This one is about the woodies: Â The Voyage has received a new sprocket and is getting new track work done. Â The Legend is getting over 1000 feet of track work in honor of it's 15th year ( has it really been 15 years? I remember getting measured by my dad to see if I would be tall enough to ride it when it was announced) Â The Raven is also receiving extensive track work in honor of it's 20th season. Â Edit: If you pay attention in the video, you can see that the second overbank (or elevated spiral) on Thunderbird is probably now completed (assuming this was filmed sometime last week). I knew I was seeing track through the trees. Edited November 11, 2014 by ZeroGravity55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaminkid2005 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I love it when parks do off season videos like these. It's always great to see a woodie get some track work done. It's even better to see all 3 of there woodies getting work. Hopefully I can finally make it out there this summer to see how they turned out!

HWFan Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Just booked me flight so will get my 1st visit in 2015 yipeee! Stu K Based on the information from your profile, you're coming from England. (I remember learning that it's not polite to say you're from the UK or something like that, so either way, I apologize if I said it wrong. You'll run into a lot of that with us Yanks). Anyway, you're going to be absolutely enamored with Holiday World. If you do any trip reports or take any pictures, make sure to post it. I especially love trip reports and reviews by people coming from other countries with different perspectives  I would highly recommend Plymouth Rock Cafe for dinner when you visit. It has some of the best Thanksgiving food that I have ever had. Also, if you're into some authentic "American Mexican" food, the Alamo is something different than the normal American theme park food. If you have any questions about tips or advice, there's plenty of people on here who would be happy to answer, or Holiday World actually has a page on there website with tips for your visit: http://www.holidayworld.com/plan-your-trip/insider-tips/  Are you visiting any other parks? Visiting Holiday World will help to ensure that you enjoy your time in the colonies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 ^Getting a little patriotic, aren't we? Don't most foreign countries refer to the U.S. as "the states," or does it differ? Â There's lots of people who fly in from different countries I see attending Holiwood Nights, and many of them are return visitors, so I'm sure they'll have a pretty good time anyways!

adam47150 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Just booked me flight so will get my 1st visit in 2015 yipeee! Stu K  If you have any spare time, do explore the area around Holiday World/Santa Claus. The region will kind of feel like a bit of Germany transported to America. Most of the people that settled in the area come from southwestern Germany. Our own wonderful Raven Maven's in-laws and my mother's side can trace it's ancestry to one family that came over from Germany (at least from what I remember the last time I saw the family genealogy book). Towns like St. Meinrad, Ferdinand, and the city of Jasper are quaint and peaceful. There are locations in each place where you can actually sit and be with your thoughts in silence. In St. Meinrad I suggest the grounds of the Archabbey (one of two in America and 11 in the world) or the Monte Cassino Shrine on the east side of town. For Ferdinand, pretty much anywhere in town is peaceful, but my fav spot would be the grounds of Monastery Immaculate Conception. In Jasper, the Riverwalk in the early morning hours can be very peaceful. But that is not all there is to do.  I hope you enjoy your trip to Holiday World!  I really need to drop by myself. I haven't been back in several years.  Sorry for hijacking the thread for a moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'm buying a shirt myself! I think the teal shirt with the teal coaster trains are going to tie in nicely!

ZeroGravity55 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 ^ I haven't bought one or wore one since I was a freshman in high school. This one was just too good to pass up though. Â That's one person, lol, chill. The other 3 comments are pretty positive. Â There was a couple. I wasn't getting all mad about it. Just pointing out people take something like a phrase on a tee-shirt way too seriously, much like some of us probably take roller coasters and theme parks way too seriously. Â Took this screen shot.

rcjp Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 ^With the zero G being closer to the ground than on most other wing coasters I hope they have no option but to make the rotation a little faster.
