Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread

P. 512: Holiday World acquires Santa's Cottages resort

Recommended Posts

Looks a lot taller in a real picture. Almost too tall (will gp ride it?). A pretty intimidating ride (which is always good) and a huge splash to watch will be great and build some adrenaline.

Sweet stuff. Can't wait to ride it in August...and I also can't wait to try out the large wooden structure in the background.

 

Raven or LEgend, because Voyage is steel structure..

The boats (and restraints) look great! Those little 'rails' going down the center of the drop make a little more since to me now, as well.

What time of year and days?

 

Weekdays in May/Early June, Late August and later. Very Min for most coasters (except Holidays). Weekends, can get long, depends. Late June, July, Early August Weekdays are busy, Weekends are usually insane.

 

As for reducing lines for other rides, not neccesarily I would think.

 

BTW, Water park is insane on weekends when hot. Like 45-an hour wait for most slides. I don't go to Hw during peak time.

Is there going to be anything in the super long tunnel like sound-thunder, lightning effects, and waves, or will it just be the new makeout section of the park?

Posted

Actually, it was just decided yesterday to skip the tunnel for this year. You'll still be way down in a trough, but no roof overhead.

 

And yes, the capacity of the ride is high enough that we expect it to shorten the other lines around the park.

 

Thanks, Paula

Do you think if the tunnel is skipped for this year, will it be build for next year instead or are the plans for the tunnel completly scrapped.

A bit disappointing about the tunnel...that's definitely my favorite part of Frightful Falls.

 

I guess the 135 foot elevator lift and drop will make up for that, though.

Posted

Thanks for that little tidbit Paula, and without the tunnel I think it will build the anticipation (or terror) of ascending the tower even more as the boat floats closer and closer to it. It might actually be better without it.

Finally a bunch of details I been wait to see. From HW's facebook page.

path from water park. For reference, this is normally the way the walk back of Voyage is and the exclusive shots only important peopkle used to get.

This is where water canons where you shoot people will be.

Wow, the area really looks great...

 

I wonder if the park will add foliage to the Pilgrims Plunge area?

 

Also, with the Splashin' Safari path running into the Holiday World path, how will the parks be separated?

Posted

Since Splashin' Safari isn't a separately-charged park, my guess is that the path going under The Voyage will access a secondary gate to the water park.

Posted

How much of a nerd does it make me that I'm almost more excited about the new path under Voyage than I am PP?

 

/At last, a new place to take photos of Voyage!
