Canobie Coaster Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 The area still doesn't have many hotels. I ended up staying 20-25 minutes away at a random Quality Inn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 There's a couple new-ish 3.5 to 4 star hotels off of the highway leading towards Louisville/St. Louis. Don't know how they are, but they're 20 ish minutes away from the park. Fairly easy drive. (Google Maps view) Â But in town, yeah, it's Santa's Lodge.

Â I think I stayed at the exact same Quality Inn when I went a few years ago. Was a fine drive and got me to say I've been to Kentucky lol.

Canobie Coaster Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Yeah that Lewisport Quality Inn is the one! Â It was your average Quality Inn. The only odd part was that when I walked in, the guy at the front desk was in the middle of a poker game with some buddies in the lobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytterbiumanalyst Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 It's fine, but it's twice as much as the cheap hotels in Dale and it's not twice as good. It's within walking distance of Holiday World, but that's not really a perk since parking is free anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midgetman82 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Was this confirmed somewhere? Â I mean, while I hate to see a slide complex go, seeing the ProSlide Wave get taken out kinda shows a reason for them to not keep the rest of this (not to mention how out of place the complex is to the rest of the water park). Hopefully it finds a nice new home elsewhere if it is going (like at the campgrounds next door where two other slides went). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeLucas16 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I noticed it wasn't on there website and I had commented on there facebook about it and they had replied back and said that they had no plans in operating it in 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeLucas16 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I wonder how long it will be until HW puts in a new coaster. I know there was quite the gap between Voyage and Thunderbird, but I'm not sure if that is something one could really go off of with this incredibly unique park. I think there next one will come maybe in 2021/2022 I think it will be more of a family coaster than a big thrilling coaster definitly steel and maybe go in where PP/Giraffica used to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the future please let us know where you find your information right away just so people know it's accurate. We have a lot of people who show up spreading fake news stories which is why people are often skeptical, especially since you're brand new. Â PS: Welcome to TPR!

mikeykaise Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 If that's true, that's a shame because I never got a chance to ride those but not surprising since they're in a weird spot honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfBobs Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I'm gonna go ahead and start the "it was removed for a mega-lite" rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njcoasterguy34 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I will be making my first trip to Holiday World at the end of August. How do their Flyers compare to the ones at Knoebels? I'm going to assume they're not as good as the ones at Knoebels since I've yet to ride a set that are. I am hoping they're better than the ones at Dorney Park, though.

neilnky Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 This from screamscape: http://www.screamscape.com/html/holiday_world.htm I can sort of see why as those slides were pretty far off from the rest of the water park. I wonder what will become of this area? Don't you just love wondering and watching lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreaminNewEngland Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Certainly not a surprise. They quietly removed their wave slide from the complex last off-season so this was kinda expected. Hopefully that side of the park stays strictly dry-park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 The Hyena Falls slide complex was fine, but it just wasn't worth the walk over there. I agree that spot would be better served by the dry park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWLover Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I’m glad it’s finally known that the Hyena Falls complex will be no more. I have a few friends that work in operations at Holiday World, and I was told by them (keep in mind, it could be false, just what they believe) that the half-pipe was removed on request from pro slides due to a recall or something like that. I am not entirely sure if that is factual but it would make sense. Furthermore, I was told that they were removing the complex (old news now) because it didn’t fit in with the vision and they have other plans for the site. Nothing to ground breaking just thought I would share what I had been told! I think that site could be used as part of the section of Thunderbird area with some flat rides, or combined with the old PP station for a larger attraction. I suppose they could also build a new kiddie section, or, what I’ve always wanted, a Christmas Eve section with actual thrill rides and family rides, designed with immersive theming.

I'm going to assume they're not as good as the ones at Knoebels since I've yet to ride a set that are. I am hoping they're better than the ones at Dorney Park, though. I can't speak for the flyers at Dorney, but I can for sure say the HW flyers are nothing compared to the Knoebels flyers. Flyers are my favorite flat so I ride them at almost every park I go to and I have yet to ride any that get even remotely close to the awesomeness that is Knoebels flyers. That being said, I did think they were better than most I've ridden and we did get some decent snapping on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 The only flyers I've ridden that can match the ones at Knoebels are the ones at Lagoon. Â The ones at Holiday World are a step above the Larson ones, but they don't come close to the Knoebels ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 New Holiday World podcasts are up. I know what I’m listening to on the way home. I listened to all three on Monday.

JT325 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Heya Holiday World... I know you guys are perpetually busy, but how about opening up a satellite park in Monticello, Indiana? It's a short hike, but just think of the possibilities. The industry needs more HW/Koch love. Big time. Â "Dreaming is free." Maybe Indiana Beach will make 100.
