HolidayWorldFTW Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 So can I kinda sorta say I nailed it? Lol I was sorta right. BYW Paula, since your here, I just want to say THANK YOU for everything. And pass that on to all others behind the scenes. The pre announcement was the best ever campaign, the announcement itself was epic, and all the hard hat chronicles, pictures, extra surprises have been stellar. I've never seen a park put so much "extra" into a project so that their guests can stay connected to the park even in the off season. You guys continually surprise me weekly in amazing ways. No doubt about it, you guys are certainly special and one of a kind! Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkjunkie Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I think they will dress up/ hide the area/concrete pad for the upcoming season and then a new ride will be announced for the following season. Â For 2015, we'll add seating to that area, in anticipation of something else taking that spot in 2016. Â HAHAHA, I love it.... Good job Paula, 2015 isn't even here yet and you just got everyone speculating on 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Maven Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 ^ I know. I should be ashamed of myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayWorldFTW Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Anyone else notice it looks like Paula had them hid pieces of whatever ride is being moved, behind Thunderbirds support and the operators hut they built? If you look closely it does indeed look like a piece of the Sparkler hiding in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Paula, My apologies if this has already been discussed but is HW going to be auctioning seats for first rides or anything of that sort for Thunderbird? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkjunkie Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 ^ I know. I should be ashamed of myself. Â No, you shouldn't definitely be proud of yourself!!! Everything you guys do you should be so proud of, and I know you are. I also want to say thank you to you and everyone at Holiday World for making the park so amazing. You guys always do everything just right. You guys put such great thought in everything... especially the 66 Days. When it comes to ride announcements, I always just check for them on the internet, but what you guys did this past summer made me take off work a day and drive 3 1/2 hours to be there for it in person. You guys are definitely living the dream that most of us would die for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 ^ I know. I should be ashamed of myself. Not at all. If anybody's learned anything, it's that you and everybody that help run Holiday World are the masters at teasing. That's worthy of an award or something!

ZeroGravity55 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 It's definitely Sparkler. They just moved the tower into view of the camera. Â ^ I know. I should be ashamed of myself. Not at all.

ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I think I discovered the answer everyone! Since this ride is being relocated, and it's close to the Thunderbird track, and correct me if wrong, lets say the ride is the Sparkler, wouldn't that be considered one of the "near misses" because the swings will sway out close to the track as it go upwards?

Diamondbacker27 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Since I can't look at the webcams. Where in the plaza is the ride located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pashearer Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Hmmm, I'm thinking Crow's Nest would be a fitting new name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodie Warrior Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 So the ride will be getting a new color scheme, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 "The Crow's Nest" is an odd name for a ride in the Thanksgiving section. Sounds like something that belongs next to Raven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellynn4 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 "The Crow's Nest" is an odd name for a ride in the Thanksgiving section. Sounds like something that belongs next to Raven. Â Or it's very fitting considering the entire campaign behind Thunderbird was themed to the pilgrims' voyage across the Atlantic in the Mayflower and a crow's next is a section on the upper part of the main mast of a ship.

coastercoaster5 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 My guess is it will be painted brown with yellow or orange seats. This is that swing ride flyer thingy right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
