OneOfTheWills Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 *dusts off old account* Check…1..2.. This thing still on? Loving the new posts from HW about the new, as they confirmed, roller coaster. Made me miss the old days with Paula. Lots of alliteration on the new (fake) website! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayWorldFTW Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Came here with memories of the “66 days” they did with Thunderbird. Can’t believe I was still able to log in! Paula was always such a blast! Anyone else think that maybe this new coaster is custom and has a water element? I even thought about a transportation ride too. Just s small transport from boulder canyon to the old pilgrims plunge location would significantly reduce the hike from that area of the park where splashing safari meets holiday world down to the heart of Thanksgiving which is kind of that Pilgrim's plunge location, and also near another entrance to Splashin Safari. This would tie in the Boulder Canyon/ Raging Rapids replacement. Excited for tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayWorldFTW Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Also curious if anyone noticed that the story on the website of the gravy company tells the continuation of the story from gobblers getaway. Same family. Pizza instead of Turkey on Thanksgiving. I think we might have a gobblers getaway tie in…. Or a clue of maybe a new dark ride element on this new coaster?

mikeykaise Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 a little corny or in this case a little gravy about the theming but it's good to see them finally doing something with the Pilgrim's Plunge area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWLover Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 This is an incredible addition! I’m so happy for Holiday World, finally adding their sixth coaster (ninth if you count the massive and very expensive water coasters). It fills a glaring gap in their lineup and will definitely be a hit with kids. The theming is over the top in the best way and I know kids and their parents will love it! The renderings look gorgeous as well. On another note, in those renderings everything appears true to the park except for one thing. There is no Crow’s Nest swing next to Thunderbird in any of the renderings. This is probably not meant to mean anything, but I wondered if maybe it meant the end for that ride? Surely not, but I guess we never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KristenLeigh Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hey y'all! My name is Kristen M and I'm a college student at Columbus State in Columbus, Ohio. I am getting ready to work on my final project for my Folklore class and I will be doing History of Holiday World. Besides asking employees/former employees, I plan on having a survey for passholders and guests to fill out for their own stories to share. I'm not sure where or how to post this but was wondering if anybody here would be interested in filling out a survey in 2 weeks?! Full credit is always given along with a short biography of the person I get a survey/interview from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
