ratdogg68 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Holiday World is making itself known lately in the last few years. The park has grown tremendously over the years. I love Splashin Safari, one of the best waterparks in the world, and the Voyage is just amazing, actually put them on the map. I think this is a good addition to HW. Thrilling, yet family friendly, but not to terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipbrianhop Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 The people are definitely going to be talking about it, and apparently they already are! I never hear the end of it about ShieKra over here, so what makes you think that they won't talk about it over there. In Holland over here they don't even know legendary coasters such as ShieKra. They can only talk about the great, great Goliath wich is almost shorter then this insane water ride will be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I don't know about anyone else, but I find this much more interesting than Diamondback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Rodder Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 My concern about it all is support systems... if, in the end that's all the support that will be used.. My biggest concern is that.. will it last. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 ^ I'm sure they would have made sure they were strong enough during design. Besides, that just increases the sensation of terror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Clear Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I would like for it to collapse while I'm riding it. Think of the airtime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Just in case you had questions about the restraint system... This is it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taytig Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Are there any construction pics yet? I'd like to follow this one's construction as it looks so unique! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Reading the tweets, just dirt work. Concrete work to start Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillerman1 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I noticed HW now has a Pilgrims Plunge construction cam up on their website. For now it just says "coming soon!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillgeek Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Just having the bar as a restraint sure looks to be intense. I'm sure they'll also include a seat belt as well though. Otherwise most of the GP would complain it's not safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCFreak Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 But it's not like the drop is that steep. I think that and the huge pad they usually stick on them should be more then enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 ^^The GP complain about the Voyage having seatbelts...I doubt they would compain about the lack-of on Pilgrims Plunge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillerman1 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I just noticed that the Pilgrims Plunge construction webcam is up and working. Looks like they're working in a little bit of snow right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 When Holiday World adds any sort of vertical construction pics on thier blog or facebook page, I will be sure to add them here. So far, all concrete work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Few tidbits. *Elevator contruction won't start until end of Feb. Ground work going on now. *HW will now serve drum Legs apparently. http://www.holidayworld.com/holiblog/holiblog.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Maven Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Turkey legs, actually. Sort of a no-brainer for the Thanksgiving section. The first two containers arrived with Pilgrims Plunge conveyor pieces on Wednesday. Construction cam is up. Stay warm! Paula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillerman1 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 The rendering artwork of the station has been revealed! http://www.holidayworld.com/holiblog/uploaded_images/1909station-776284.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 !UPDATE! Pilgrims Plunge has gone vertical! The first piece of steel to be installed was the very last section of the drop before the splashdown. (The first support has also been installed.) PLUS, lots of work has been going on with the queue building, and I'm positive this will look amazing when finished.

triggernel Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I can't wait to ride this next summer, but still not getting the Pilgrim theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 ^As in, you don't know WHY they are theming it as the Pilgrims Plunge, or you don't know HOW this theming relates to the pilgrims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I can't wait to ride this next summer, but still not getting the Pilgrim theme. If you are refering to the Pilgrim theme. The ride is located in the Thanksgiving section of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I so want to get back to this park anyway, this addition just gives me more incentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggernel Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 If you are refering to the Pilgrim theme. The ride is located in the Thanksgiving section of the park. Yes i understand that, but where is the Pilgrim theming on this particular ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpuddle Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 My guess is that the theming will stop at the queue and station. Holiday World hasn't really ever themed their larger rides beyond those two places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
