HW Has reported!

Im guessing THE GRAVY is the hint everyone was missing and just taking as a added topping but not holiday hint?

Im guessing Paula is busy as all get out. With the exception of a couple NAYBOBS, IM happy that most are impressed, I know Im one happy Tom Turkey :)

Chuck, who guesses he'll have to peddle his Stew elsewhere???? J/K

Oh and Paula, If you read this, Kiss Pat and Will for me. I can't make it till Labor day :)

ooooo....do you think they will sell turkey legs in the new section? That alone would make my husband happy.

Shaggy could be talking about Beech Bend. We All know they're getting an new GCI. Well, we're supposed to all know it.

You mean that Beech Bend will get two coasters next year? Because I know of the GCI and Voyage, but what is that other third coaster Shaggy is insisting on?

Where'd you get that at? Beech Bend is getting one of two GCIs for next year. I don't remember what all Shaggs said, did he mention beech bend in the first place?

I sure am happy to be living where I do right now... Louisville....

Why?

Well, in 2006 it will be central to 3 new coasters.... Beech Bend, HW and..... oh.... I'll let it simmer for a bit.... ;-)

Shaggy

You tease....;)

Sounds like I'll be making my first trip to Holiday World next year. Sounds like a three hour wait could be in store.

"Well, in 2006 it will be central to 3 new coasters.... Beech Bend, HW and..... oh.... I'll let it simmer for a bit.... ;-)"

He originally said that so it is eithier PKI or SFKK.

-Jacob

Mmmm, just in time for the 2007 ACE Coaster Con. The wood should be nice and *broken in* by then. :-P

-Tina

And PKI just got one, so does that mean SFKK has some plans? What they need to do is paint Chang. It should have orange track w/bright yellow rails and ties and the same color purple supports, or maybe a dark purple/blue color. They are doing a real good making sure their star coasters look nice... I hope SFKK gets a new one soon. *** Edited 7/13/2005 8:07:31 PM UTC by mudinthevayne***

Clues I found in the Holiblog. Didn't click any outside links:

May 2nd:Metal. Support Metal. Do not open until 2006

May 4th:They talk of putting up a Christmas tree, you put up a Christmas tree near Thanksgiving right?(Rediculous stretching in these first ones compared to the hints I found later)

May 5th:
"Teepee+Stack+Bowl=Water Tower"(Teepee=Indians, Stack=Wood,Bowl=Famous Feast?-Yeah, big stretch on this one)

May 26th: The infamous Snowy White road post, of note, with the big scary bird, the only species mentioned is the Wild Turkey.

May 31st:
"This Truly has been an adventure into uncharted waters"(Voyage)

June 8th:
"Last-minute hint: We do not plan to put all our eggs in one basket. So to speak."(NOT easter)

July 1st:
"We get teased a lot for being "in the middle of a corn field." Looks like this year's crop is a new hybrid."(this one everyone got easily though)

July 1st:
"Guess they've heard it's cooler underground.Keep digging!"(8 trips through tunnels anyone?)

July 7th: All of it. Interpretation on whether you got this one or not. It does mention not all is revealed today though.

July 12th:
"(And that's no eggs-ageration.)""We know now more than ever...We are truly blessed."(Gave the Holiday away pretty much, lots of us got it)

And that's it. I may have missed a few. That's as good as I wish to do. *** Edited 7/13/2005 8:15:13 PM UTC by thepinkdoomofmonkeys***

Gavin Menzies: "1421, The Year China Discovered America".

I'll read that book as soon as you tell me how anyone can "discover" a place where people *already* live.

So sad they built it with steel supports, by 2009 the coaster will be a joke. Why dont we learn from history? The coaster looks amazing...untill i saw the steel structure....

Wow...it only took about 10 mins for the first person to complain. Nice going, jar!

Sorry, but Woowooboy beat him to the punch with a complaint on the other thread before the announcment was over.

LOL jeremy.... Columbus and his brother HAD the maps showing that the best route to China (and more importantly the Spice Islands) was to sail East...they lied to Ferdinand and Isabella (and doctored maps) to convince them to finance the boondoggle voyage of trying to reach the Orient by sailing West. (They DID know about much of the Americas though, from maps they had seen that originated from the Chinese *Discovery voyages* of 1421-1423).

Columbus wasn't as *ignorant* as I previously had thought, but he was a WAY better con-man...so I call that a wash... ;)

You're talking 1492.

We're talking 1620.

Oh...and 2006.

0g said:They claim to have the most airtime on any wooden coaster with 24.2 seconds. How does this compare to Shivering Timbers?

---

The Voyage will have 20% more airtime (on an apples-to-apples basis, as determined by the GG engineers, who designed both coasters).

Paula

Hey Paula, did you hear? They canceled the NASA launch today because there were problems with some streaming video out of indiana.

Oh, and Holiday World is getting a new Tilt O Whirl and Darkride next year.

:)

Who was living in New England when the Europeans arrived?

Some Chinese, actually. Arrived in Rhode Island, LOL...early 15th Century, and left behind some astronavigational aids used in charting.

Who ELSE? The Abenaki, the Penobscot, the Wampanoag.

There's three *hill names* that would have people scratching their heads...LOL! ;)

Happy Thanksgiving! :)

OMG PAULA POSTED OMG!

:)

Or you could just name them "Big", "Bigger", and "Biggest", so that no one is confused.

Well, almost no one.
