Holiday World


Welcome to Holiday World

I started off the day in Thanksgiving

Gobbler Getaway was first

Sure, it's cheesy, but it's a lot of fun

Voyage was the first coaster of the day.
It's still way too rough for me

Raven was next.

It might be the oldest wooden coaster here but it's still the best

Legend was the final of the wooden coaster trio

You definitely need to hold on for this one

I had a great day at this park that continues to impress.



Splashin' Safari

Welcome to Splashin' Safari - Holiday World's waterpark

Wahtubee was the first slide of the day

Otorongo was next

Probably my favorite slide here

The extremely long and dark Zoombabwe

The next slide was Zinga

Zinga has some unique looking rafts

I love how the raft goes back and forth in the huge funnel

Time to get your race on with Jungle Racers

This huge bowl is called Bakuli and yes you go around in circles

Kima Bay is a huge waterfortress of fun

Pilgrim's Plunge is technically in the Thanksgiving section of Holiday World

But riders from the waterpark can go ride it as well

I got to be honest, you don't get very wet on this ride

Bahari is the park's large wave pool 

It was a great sunshiny day at Splashin' Safari

Daredevil Daze (SF)

DAREDEVIL DAZE 2009

Welcome to Daredevil Daze 2009 at Six Flags St. Louis

We started off the day with a backstage tour of the round house

We also had a backstage photo session with Evel Knievel

It was fun being able to get different angles of the ride 

After the photo session it was time for ERT on Evel Knievel

It provided a great ride like normal

Next it was time to ride Mr. Freeze

This ride is quite the blast

We knocked out a lot of the other coasters in the park next

It is always a good idea to ride Big Spin before the crowds hit

Next it was time to ride a great minetrain - River King!

We then had a backstage tour of the other two wooden coasters

The Boss is mainly out in the woods so it's hard to see in the park

Look how close we are to the train speeding by

This is a really large wooden coaster

Quite the mountain of lumber

Time for lunch

Lots of good food with good friends

The night ended with the Glow in the Park Parade.

We had a nice time at the park today
