Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread

Too bad no one would actually get to see that light show, since they close the end of October.

I don't see HW opening a resort or a hotel anytime soon. Let's just let them stick to what they're good at, for now.

I cant wait to see what they do with Alabama Splash Adventure

^ Same family, different Owners. The part of the family that runs HW has nothing to do with ASA.

Oh, thank you for clearing that up for me!

Holiday World should really consider adding a resort as a near future expansion, this will resolve any "where to stay issues". GET ON IT Holiday World!

Have a Christmas themed waterpark and an awesome light show at the park itself during Christmas time.

 

I like this idea!! Now I just need them to hire my company to do the light show!!

 

(Hey, one can dream right??)

[JT325]

^Indeed! Dreaming is free. An indoor Christmas themed waterpark! The first of it's kind? Yes, please!

It's nice to see that Holiday World has spent enough time around coaster enthusiasts that they have found it necessary to include this in the event rules

 

Paula will play it off as a joke because she's a nice person, but since I'm not I figured I'd go out on a limb and say they're not entirely joking here. Follow the rules, people. Try to make this the first B.O.-free enthusiast event ever. I have faith in the enthusiast community*

Oh man, that's amazing. Holiday World got even cooler in my eyes.

 

One of these days I'll make it out for HoliWood Nights, but it's not in the cards this year. I can't wait to make it back to this place!

For the record, that actually applies to a very small percentage of the enthusiast community but if you've ever been to an enthusiast event or been around enthusiasts you know that there's ALWAYS that guy. He's at every single event.

 

Pro Tip: If you haven't seen that guy, call up Terry Crews so he can hook you up with some Old Spice odor blocking power that'll block odor for 16 hours because you're that guy.

I never got why people are so scared of soap,deodorant,and/or tooth paste....like for gods sake how do you not know you smell like the devils butt!! and better yet WHY would you want to smell like that....

[boldikus]

I don't know if there was anything worse than the Pipe Scream grouper (that we affectionately named the Pipe Scream nazi cause he was a little power trippin dick) last summer that never got a lesson in deodorant. It was fairly early in the day so it wasn't like he needed to reapply, apparently he just skipped the hygiene section of employee training.

Well, see, clearly they don't have Jesus around to tell them.

 

[RaceBoarder]

It's the same reason these people don't realize how socially awkward they are. They're oblivious to their impact on others. Simple as that...

Back when it was the first year for their Halloween event, one of the bullet points in the sidebar for the event said, "It's Halloween without the gore (sorry Al & Tipper). It's one of those things that I'm sure almost nobody noticed or understood, but I think it's one of Paula's best puns...with Udderly Blue still being my favorite.

FIRECRACKER

Nice rendering of what Firecracker may look like. Was recently put up on the parks website

[drummermattk]

^Wow that looks good. I wonder how construction for the ride is going

[storms555]

^^When I went to Cedar Point I remember seeing one of those. I was tempted to ride it but didnt feel to well and didnt want to get dizzy. However that ride looks a lot of fun. It looks more fun then your typical spinning ride. Also I remember going on a kiddie version of it at the fair where the tubs were shaped like demolition derby cars.I remember seeing like 5 different kids at once crying on said ride and here I am like why??? just why...??? I wonder if those kids grew up to be coaster/thrill ride enthusiasts or not :/

Is this going where Sparkler/Crows Nest used to be?

[ZeroGravity55]

^Yes

[DoinItForTheFame]

So, just found out that we are adding Holiday World to our Theme Park road trip this summer!!! Never been, so I'm super excited for this!!
