Dan Koch arrested for DV

After his antics here, I’m not surprised TBH.

Yikes. That kind of aligns with what we know about him. Anyone remember this thread? What you don't see is all of the posts that Dan made, then deleted. I can still see them all, and wow, it's wild. There was a thread in the moderator forum where we talked about that we should do with it, because it was unlike anything else we've ever encountered.

I’m out of the loop on the family fallout from years ago. Where is the grandmother today? She was the one who was always out in the park greeting guests at Holiday World, right?

My first thought when I saw this was “yeah he was crazy and had two accounts on Buzz to take up for himself, so this tracks” and I came immediately here lol.

Pat followed Dan to Alabama Adventure after everything happened with Holiday World following Will's death. A quick search shows she was still actively working there in 2023, and this article shows her as still active and healthy last holiday season: https://styleblueprint.com/...day-world/

Putting money on how soon you get a Discovery request

This is not shocking. While I never worked with the guy, a very close friend of mine did for awhile down in Alabama. My friend was brought in to help get Alabama Adventure up and running to Dan's standards and the horror stories my friend would tell me about were absolutely nuts. Almost weekly he would have a story about Dan essentially derailing the park, leaving it for my friend to fix or clean up just to keep the place running. Thankfully he got out of there but for the time he was there, I was enjoying the nightmare from a distance.

Thank God that Will's kids ultimately took up the offices in Santa Claus.

He made some really weird choices too while running HW. Remember Hyena Falls? It essentially landlocked Holiday World by increasing Splashin Safari to the north of Pilgrims Plunge (Good Gravy today.) It was removed to make Thunderbird.

I've been following Dan on social media for several years, and I have to admit that some of his posts have been pretty wild. I'm not going to guess what's behind it, but there were plenty of times when I'd read something and think, "This feels like something you'd see on a late-night true crime special."

Whatever the circumstances may be, if he's facing personal difficulties or needs support, I genuinely hope he gets the help he needs.

But beyond that, the dude at times (perhaps more often) seems to just go off the rails.....
