Welcome to Holiday World. It has been awhile since we visited this park
The first section you enter is Christmas.
Side note, really like the new entrance portal arches they added for this season
Even Santa thinks that it is really warm today
The Christmas section looks really nice. We just wish that there was an attraction or two that catered to the "non-kiddieland" audience
Taking the Express Route through the park, our next section was Thanksgiving
They have really built up this area since our last visit.
Turkey Twirl remains the cutest tilter in existence and we just love Gobbler Getaway
We found this Sally darkride to be well maintained. The targets were easy to hit and most of the movements on the ride were functional
Mayflower was new since our last visit. Really good swinging ship ride
After hearing all about it for a season, we finally made it on the best themed Junior Boomerang in existence. That queue is amazing and the "larger than life" items outside were hysterical
Like, just look at this can. Just amazing
The Voyage is running amazingly this season
Well... at least in the front row. We refuse to ride wooden coasters in any other row
Thunderbird was down... apparently it has been down most of this week and won't be open any time soon
We decided to drown our sorrows of not getting to ride Thunderbird by visiting Plymouth Rock Cafe for lunch. What a great meal. This is our "go-to" restaurant when we visit the park
Time to head into the 4th of July section
Revolution
Eagle's Flight
Liberty Launch
Firecracker
Rough Riders
Star-Spangled Carousel
We decided to take a stroll through Holidog's Fun Town since we were in the area
Side note, why don't they move all of the kiddie rides to this section from the Christmas section? Anyway, this area is definitely just for the little ones.
There was zero waiting for the Howler so we did a lap on it because the attendant said we could
There's a cute train that circles the area and takes you by Mother Goose story vignettes
Final section of the park - Halloween
We started with Raven, which is the original of the three wooden coasters at the park
Honestly, we didn't enjoy our rides very much. Even in the front, this coaster is way too rough on the run back to the station to be enjoyable
HallowSwings remains one of our favorite designs for a wave carousel
Scarecrow Scrambler looked amazing. I'm not sure how recent it was repainted, but the colors really popped
Now it was time for the best coaster at the park - The Legend
The ride was really smooth (again in the front) and the pacing is perfect
One last ride in the section - Frightful Falls. It is kind of hidden away, but a fun log flume
We had a great (yet extremely warm) day at Holiday World
Those free drinks really came in handy today - I guess we didn't realize that the drink deal debuted the same season that The Legend was added to the park.
Until Next Time
