Guy T. Koepp 0 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I am so gonna win this event! I am a Haiku master. I tried starting a TPR Haiku thread, but the peeps just didn't get the Haiku love. Apparently Holiday World does. Here's todays entry. Riding Wildebeest Fast I slide through green forrest Joyously laughing Yeah! That took me like 2 minutes! Wait and see what I can do in 24 hours.

SharkTums 204 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) ^Remember Guy, it's a family park! I'd be very scared to see what you can come up with in a day or two! BTW, Free soda abound, Fudge, Pizza, Burgers and more! Where is the bathroom? Edited March 18, 2010 by SharkTums Link to post Share on other sites

DBru 31 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I LOVE haiku! Splishing and splashing And soaring over tall hills Holiday World rocks! Yes, I know that "splishing" isn't an actual word...but I'm using it, anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
printersdevil78 0 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Since I'm not in a position to take advantage of the prize, I don't plan to enter, but just for fun... At Holiday World A daz-daz-dazzily day Is what I will have. Link to post Share on other sites
Not For Sale 0 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 If anybody is in the market for a free bag of crap, @ThemeParkReview is holding a contest for failed haikus relating to TPR. Link to post Share on other sites

traincrossin 0 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Found this on Holiday World's Twitter. Poor Paula. Good luck to everyone who entered! Holiday World: Haiku contest ends...More than one thousand to read...Should have thought of that... #HW Link to post Share on other sites
DOCTOR DOOM!!! 0 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Holiday World's opening day is Kentucky Derby day!!! Does the park get crowded on the 1st Saturday of May?! How about the Sunday afterwards?! Link to post Share on other sites
DBru 31 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Seeing as most of the locals in the area are occupied with the derby on that Saturday, Holiday World's opening day is usually fairly quiet. Even when the Voyage first opened in 2006, lines were minimal. Link to post Share on other sites
spaceace12 0 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I won't even be at opening day this year. I will get back from New Orleans in overnight hours of that Saturday. If I feel like it, will probably got that Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites
jedimaster1227 100 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=157446&id=35385539537&ref=mf Ready for another contest? Lori, our water park director, would like some clever "greetings" for her lifeguards and slide attendants to use. Example: "Have a splashin' day!" Please post your entry in this thread by 2 pm CDT 3/31/10; must be 13 or older; no employees or relatives from HW&SS eligible. Winner receives 2 one-day tickets. Fine to post more than one greeting (as long as it's in this thread.) Lori picks the winner. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites
spaceace12 0 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Holiday World has updated the menu of the park food places. They are adding churo's. http://www.holidayworld.com/visit/restaurants-food-outlets Some of the new items that interest me. Baked Pasta (Chicken Alfredo or Rotini w/Meat Sauce), Choice of Breadsticks, Apple Sauce, or Fruit Cup and Cookie BBQ Ribs, Loaded Baked Potato Salad, Baked Beans, and Cookie And one that I will probably get Breakfast Sandwich (Bacon, Ham or Sausage w/Egg & Cheese) with Hash Brown Stars Link to post Share on other sites

coastered 0 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Testing started for Wildebeest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK59E3ctP1c Link to post Share on other sites
Raven Maven 0 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 To preface the above video: It takes a lot of testing to open a new water coaster. Here's Ray, an engineer from ProSlide Technology, and Joe (off camera, saying "3-2-1" a lot and then going back to his laptop to reprogram slightly and try again) working to test the pulse feature for the linear induction motors that power Wildebeest's boats "magically" uphill. Wildebeest, the world's longest water coaster, opens May 14. Anyone else diggin' the Canadian accent? :0) Thanks, Paula Link to post Share on other sites
Raven Maven 0 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 ...oh, and the first Timberliner train arrives a week from today. Thanks, Paula Link to post Share on other sites
alpengeist04 0 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Yea, I'm really looking forward to seeing those trains in action on The Voyage. Link to post Share on other sites
the ghost 0 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I'm sure it will move much slower with people, but that launch was crazy fast. Link to post Share on other sites
holidayworld08 0 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 From Holiday World's Facebook page: Want to see the latest Timberliner photos? (Timberliners = new Voyage trains) They're being held hostage by our (so-called) friends at The Gravity Group. They need just 121 more Facebook Fans and then they'll release those poor, defenseless photos into our care. Please find it in your hearts to head over and "fan" them.... It's for the children ... err, coaster train photos. :0) I just became 985.. 15 more to go! Link to post Share on other sites
spaceace12 0 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Holiday World just posted a video.....not going to ruin the surprise. Link to post Share on other sites
kumba830 0 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Holy airtime! But, I'm guessing they won't be allowing single riders from what I just saw in the video. The ride looks amazing though, can't wait till I get down to HW! Link to post Share on other sites
