I haven't been this excited about a local coaster probably since SOB. I can't wait for spring to roll around. This thing is going to be incredible. TPR meet next spring anybody?

[rollerdude]

Holy crap! Thats huge. That drop looks really cool and fun.

Hi Robb,

 

Thanks for the update photo's, the 3rd pic looks amazing wow, love to ride that coaster at night. I'll have to start saving my UK pounds and take a trip to Holiday World sometime.

Looks awesome as always, I like the Wal-Mart bag on the track in the third picture ... I think

Dang, this coaster is going up right before our eyes! Last pics I saw, the track was on the ground lying next to each other. Now, a lot of the coaster is already up!

I have never been to Holiday World, I'm looking forward to visiting the park next year.

[Stitch]

Looks like a ton of fun, I hope to get to ride it some day

[Kroger8]

It is huge! It looks like it will be amazing, hopefully on my travels in the future I will be able to get up there! Wow!

 

Post 600!

[Hattuchili]

Yum.

[Shockwave]

It just looks better and better! It's already on my to-do list, and if the reviews are good next year, then it'll rocket right up to the top of my plans!

[coasterguy618]

Wow, constuction is going really fast! It looks great so far!

[PhishyBrewer]

Aww... kitty, kitty! The MidWest Coaster Trip can't come soon enough.

[Real]

Definatly if coasters can be sexy, this one is drop dead gorgeous.

[rollerdude]

I didn't think that they would get the second hill up so fast. That looks amasing and changes the skyline a whole lot. I really really really really want to go to HW now.

[socalMAN123]

Wow, this coaster is starting to look really impressive. I wish I could ride it next year .

I keep getting more and more excited about this. This thing is an absolute monster. I just hope Holiday World is prepared for the crowds. At least they are playing this one smart and going with three train operation.
