thrillseeker4552 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I've never been to Holiday World (it's up on my priority list), but these additions seem great. They're rounding out an already-fantastic looking water park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 What all do you guys think Holiday World is going to be announcing next Tuesday? I wouldn't be surprised if it has something to do with the Thanksgiving section due to the timing of the announcement Ok, I was wrong lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliHorton Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 What all do you guys think Holiday World is going to be announcing next Tuesday? I wouldn't be surprised if it has something to do with the Thanksgiving section due to the timing of the announcement Ok, I was wrong lol I was even more wrong, I thought they were going to get a dry park addition. Lol More specifically, I was thinking that they were going to get something from Lakemont Park, maybe the old monster ride and say that they are reintroducing Midnight Ride. But I think this is a PRECIOUS addition. It looks so adorable. I don't think I've ever seen a kiddie sized wave pool. It definitely seems like it will be fun for the little ones. Holiday World is definitely one of the most family friendly amusement parks in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I don't know why, but I find it especially nifty that they're also getting electric car charging stations. I don't own an electric car, but I just find that alone pretty neat! Also excited to learn about the "big new maze" coming next year. Love the Halloween event, so I'm looking forward to the new maze, and hope it's as good as Carnival Chaos or Holidog's 3D Adventure. Of course, Voyage track improvements are also always welcomed and appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 These are all great additions for the park. I will be most interested to hear how the track refurbishing works for Voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisdougsforu Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 This announcement will finally get us to make the several hour drive and visit next year for the first time as we have 3 kids ranging from 2-7 that love water parks but most never have enough for them to do. This is brilliant and while it may not seem special to many enthusiasts, those of us with little ones will really appreciate it. Can't wait to visit next year!

Jelenp Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Not sure if anyone saw but HoliWood Nights has been announced for 2018! It is on June 1 and 2 which might make it conflicting with Coastermania! at Cedar Point. I'm ready to ride some trimless night rides on the Voyage Link: https://www.holidayworld.com/shows-events/holiwood-nights/#inner-content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Does the park always run Voyage trimless during the event? It's definitely an event I want to experience sometime to get night rides on their coasters. Those settings are perfect for pitch black night rides.

ytterbiumanalyst Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Yes, Holiwood Nights always conflicts with Coastermania, at least since 2015. I've alternated the two events since then. No, they don't run Voyage without trims. Yes, it's an awesome event, with lots of nighttime rides and fudge. You should go at least once if you haven't been.

Jelenp Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 No, they don't run Voyage without trims. Really? I must be going insane because last year at HoliWood Nights it felt a lot faster and more intense. When I went later in the summer it felt a bit slower. Oh well still always a pleasure to have a few night rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonskinny12 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Yes, Holiwood Nights always conflicts with Coastermania, at least since 2015. I've alternated the two events since then. No, it doesn't. I went to both events in 2015. From what I can tell, Holiwood Nights is the first weekend after Memorial Day and Coastermania is the first weekend in June. So it just depends on how those weekends line up. No, they don't run Voyage without trims. Actually they do. In 2015 I got a couple trimless rides and then the rest were trimmed. I believe last year one of the nights was trimless the entire night. While it does make a difference for some of the ride, it's still a kickass ride with the trims on. Yes, it's an awesome event, with lots of nighttime rides and fudge. You should go at least once if you haven't been. This is absolutely true. I've only been to Holiday World during this event (2015 and 2017) and I would like to keep going back every 2-3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT325 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Does the park always run Voyage trimless during the event? Voyage trims are off for at least one of the night ERTs... perhaps the representative can clarify Last year the park made a point to clarify that the brakes would be off during ERT. Or was that only the last 2 hours of ERT? Either way, they ran it trimless during ERT. Sometimes a polite wish is granted! It's definitely an event I want to experience sometime to get night rides on their coasters. Those settings are perfect for pitch black night rides. If you make it to Holiwood Nights, prepare to be regally spoiled by the park! Most other events pale by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Maven Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 And to think I praised TPR's mature and evolved reaction to our "What's New" announcement on our podcast: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] It was lovely while it lasted ... For the record: 1. HoliWood Nights is always the Friday/Saturday after Memorial Day. 2. The event conflicts with CP's dates roughly half the time, as their event is the first weekend of June. 3. We do this primarily to annoy Tony Clark. 4. ERT during HWN the past two years has included brake-free Voyage (well, all except at the end of the 1.2 miles and in the station); we plan to continue this in 2018. 5. For the first time ever, we offer an early-bird discount on registration: https://HolidayWorld.com/Clubs through January 10, 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comeagain? Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 And to think I praised TPR's mature and evolved reaction to our "What's New" announcement on our podcast: Well since we've already disappointed you, I might as well share my initial comments. I find next years addition ...confusing? There's already 2 full sized wave pools that kids love, so now you're adding a third that's significantly smaller, and has a restricted audience. And the nature of most wave pools is that there's a large shallow end which'll offer a very similar experience. And Tembo falls looks difficult to guard and dispatch (there's a lot of space between each slide), while enforcing the height requirements. That said, family additions are pretty much always a good thing and it's a lot easier to manage water quality on a bunch of slides with small runouts when there's water open to the air. So trying to get more kids slides, I'd much rather have an awkward wave pool than deal with an enclosed body of water. Regardless, you're getting some bright colored new kids slides, so it can't be that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The big deal is that having a max depth that's very shallow means parents don't have to worry about their kids wandering into an area that's literally out of their depth. Makes it far more relaxing for the adults, plus little kids love being told they can go anywhere they want in that pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was late, I was so tired; couldn't remember if that was your handle here or on another forum. Turns out, it is your handle on both. Not exactly rocket science. Or bacon science. I was just tired.
