ytterbiumanalyst Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 IIRC, wasn't Eric's old office somewhere in that area? I think I remember him mentioning that on the podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytterbiumanalyst Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 This looks awesome! And the video has all the puns I would expect from Holiday World. Polar Expresso...that's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Polar Expresso is the best coffee shop name ever, Holiday World's pun game is at an elite level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 The Christmas section feels very dated and underwhelming to me so it's nice to see them improving it like this. This looks very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeykaise Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I think a dark ride themed to Santa's yearly flight with all the reindeer and Rudolph too would be cool for Christmas area just not sure where they would put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Maven Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 This looks awesome! And the video has all the puns I would expect from Holiday World. Polar Expresso...that's great.

SLCHeadache Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 ^ The word filter hit "Five Onion..." and the end result is still catchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I read through the article, but I didn't catch where Beer Man is going. HAHA...that was my first thought too! The concept art reminded me of something German...and German's love beer. Oh well...at least they are giving Voyage some more love. I need to get out there and try it again someday in the front seat.

JT325 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Looks great! Is this taking over the old candy shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragerunner1 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 This is such a great park. Every time I have visited it exceeds expectations. These new additions look great and might just set them up for a new ride in Christmas in 2020, with them moving their offices to Thanksgiving. That last line was a little weird to type.

Raven Maven Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Looks great! Is this taking over the old candy shop? Yes, the new space will include the area currently taken up by Mrs. Klaus' Kitchen plus the offices that were part of that building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT325 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 might just set them up for a new ride in Christmas in 2020 Or a new ride somewhere else. These classic Heart Flip rides are great, awesome to look at and fun for the whole family. Also, super rare. Nothing like a restored classic Speaking of new rides, I have a feeling we all have our long wish lists. Skyride, Schwarzkopf-esque looper or speed racer (classic trains for both, please), Large-scale train ride, whole park mini-train, family friendly haunted house, classic and large scale ferris wheel.

ytterbiumanalyst Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 That ride would be perfect in say, I don't know, a Valentine's Day section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT325 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 ^Yes please. Or an expanded Halloween, as spinning jacks or something. Or Christmas, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreaming is free Watkins made some fun rides, but the aesthetics are very carny. Are these rides even made anyone, who owns the rights to the old Watkins rides? The manufacturer was at different times named Hi Lite Watkins Venture Rides. I tried to look up it online quickly but couldn't find the answer on the first two pages of my search.
