HolidayWorldFTW Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 If you all head over to the Thunderbird cam right now they are testing Crows Nest and Thunderbird at the same time! Wow that's close! Also, is it just me or does Thunderbird appear to run faster every time I watch it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glouthan Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Ooooo stunning! Looks like there's a new smokehouse restaurant too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Wow, that's an awesome photo! I'm so impressed by this project. Hopefully I can see it in person, and ride Thunderbird sometime in the not so far future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCI Wooden Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 That entire area looks incredible, just everything about it. Â Holiday World, you did an amazing job here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike541x Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Holiday World is definitely a winner with Thunderbird. Everything about this ride is looking great so far and as I said before, I'm very happy that I chose to visit the park this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayWorldFTW Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 It appears from a pic I just looked at on their Twitter that the Smokehouse restaurant will have BBQ pork, country fried steak, and ice cream!!!! My oh my that sounds so yummy. I could totally just live in the park lol. Can't wait to try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Maven Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Thanks for all your kind words - it's been a labor of love for a lot of people, that's for sure. Â And we have so many "Easter Eggs" that we haven't talked about. Can't wait to see you discover them when you visit! Â And speaking of that, we still have room for a few dozen more riders for our Thunderbird Media Preview coming up on Thursday. All it takes is a $50 donation to Give Kids The World. It's a full day of rides and food, including Thunderbird ice cream. Details are here: http://www.holidayworld.com/holiblog/2015/04/14/lets-help-give-kids-world-even/ and the deadline to sign up is 11:59pm CDT on Sunday (tomorrow).

Superbatboy Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 New photo from HW's Twitter: Â Â I don't think I've seen a coaster more matched to it's surroundings than this one, such eye candy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 That's a biiiig loop! Very excited to try this out soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayWorldFTW Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Excited that we will get to try Thunderbird ice cream Thursday! I haven't been able to find it yet. Thunderbird plaza just looks incredible. HW has nailed every aspect of this project. Will would be so incredibly proud! I can see him now in my mind saying to everyone "look what this small little park in the middle of nowhere can do!" Lol  Paula is the fact that the Thunderbird station is shaped like a cross a Easter egg? I was curious if that was an intentional additional tribute to Will? I think it's so awesome!

glucky11801 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I've been sitting here watching LUCKY people riding Thunderbird. Maybe Holiday World employees? A coaster always looks more exciting when it has riders. I can't wait!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Maven Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 ^^ Not that I'm aware of, but that's a nice thought. Â ^ Yes, it's Employee Ride Night. Six hours of Thunderbird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayWorldFTW Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 If you guys look at the webcam right now they have Thunderbird plaza all lit up for the employees!

HolidayWorldFTW Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Holiday World tweeted the following picture on their Twitter. The caption said "finishing touches". That weather vain looks super awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 So we got some fly through barn POV... well not all of it. Plus a little inline twist footage: Â Â I really wish I could be at the event on Thursday, but I'm in the middle of working 10 days in a row just so I can visit the park on the weekend.

HolidayWorldFTW Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I live in Newburgh and I haven't seen it in the Newburgh Wal Mart yet. Although I didn't check yesterday. I'm sure it will filter in soon though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
