I finally figured out who you are!

You're a "Newsweek" reporter, right?

Hey now, I have a few third hand sources that I trust more than you. ;)

Since the current coaster lineup has something to do with literature each, is it safe to assume that if/when a new coaster is announced it will be themed to a story/poem as well?

Could be dueling woodies, one a smaller "family" coaster, the other a TGG monster. Call them Jeckel and Hyde! Good addition to Halloween. Keeps with the family feel of the park and gives us coaster freaks something to cheer aboutat the same time!

Ow, that's harsh!

Yeah, Paula gets testy when I get close. Earlier in this thread when I narrowed down the possibilites to either a woodie or a darkride with a woodie being more likely, she said we should stop thinking so hard and go outside and get some air. It was pretty clear who she was referring to. Now that I know it is a Gravity Group woodie, I am spoiling her fun again, but its all good. After that pic of the fense wood and the delayed announcement, I'm fine with that. ;)

The third hand info I was refering to was just about the length record and I was just pointing out that there is a rumor out there about it. I even posted earlier in this thread that I was a bit skeptical about that rumor due to the cost and funds earmarked for it, but I guess it is still possible. That has nothing to do with the fact that HW is opening a Gravity Group woodie next year.

I believe Paula has mentioned something more than once about lying down- maybe part of the deal for Splashin Safari is one of those 100+ ft steep body slides? It's the one type of waterslide they're "missing."

Paula said waiting on a date that a State Offical could attend the announcement. She did not say which state. Could it me Arnold and a new Terminator themed coaster or dark ride?? It's a long shot, but HW always delivers far more than they promise, and they always do their announcements up in a big way.
(If it were an Indiana State Offical there wouldn't be a scheduling problem. For one, they never do anything so finding a date that they were free would not be a problem. And secondly, if they couldn't come, who cares.)

Terminator is for Universal parks, and trying to get a state politician to the park (if he comes or not) is a great excuse to leave the announcement date open. Not saying that is what HW is doing mind you. Our sacred cow would never stoop so low. ;)

Im just wondering if shes gonna play the Imperial March when the state offical takes the podium.?

Well looking at MiG's wish list for Holiday World we see...

• Free Stew
• Free Shampoo
• Free Cows that say Moo (sorry I couldn't help myself)
• A Master Blaster
• A Family Blaster
• A new coaster
• Body Slides
• A speed slide that takes Summit Plummit's record away in the US. ;)

and a partridge in a pear tree...

That's not coming until 2007, Tek ;)

OK - we can’t bring Arnold to the park to promote a new "Terminator" ride, but there are still reason that he may be there. Since SF has a corner on the "Batman & Robin" coaster, and WB Movie World has "Eraser" taken, it leaves us with the following options.

"The 6th Day" - A great coaster, but you have to be there on a Saturday to ride it.

The "Around the World in 80 Days" Hot Air Balloon Ride.

Twin Coasters, "Conan the Barbarian" and "Conan the Destroyer". After seeing Barbarian you will wonder why the hell the ever built the sequel.

The "End of Days" Fireworks Display

For the Christmas Section, "Jingle All the Way" Sleigh Coaster. First ever horse drawn lift hill. The Big-Pile-O-Snow breaking system may not work well on very hot days.

The "Commando" Shooting Gallery.

Holidog’s Fun Town’s new "Junior" coaster.

The "Last Action HERO" SANDWICH Shop.

"Pumping Iron" - Forget wood, Forget steel. World’s tallest, longest, and fastest Iron Coaster. Projected opening date, 2037. Great ride, however, the magnetic breaks do not work well.

The "Twins" double looping coaster.

Will and the gang jack the prices up at all of their food outlets to stay in line with all other parks. Promote it as the "Stay Hungry" project.

"Total Recoil" Bungee Jump.

"The Running Man" Coaster. No station, No breaks. If you can catch it, you can ride. Getting off is a real B****.

The "Predator" Dark Ride. They are keeping the details a secret, but when they say keep your hand and arms in the vehicle at all times they mean it. And PLEASE stay in your seat until the ride has come to a complete stop, that’s if your are still in your seat when the ride stops.

The new "Kindergarten Cop" Free-Unlimited Child Care program. No more watching the Legend while riding the Howler for the 367th time in a row.

The "Raw Deal" White Water Rapids Ride. Your lap gets very, very wet and the exit ramp is very, very long with no shade.

Splashing Safari’s new "Red Sonja" sunbathing deck.

And my favorite, the "Collateral Damage" - a 128 mph launch into a 23 foot vertical. You do the math.

And of course, all we have read and all we have been talking about could just be "True Lies", a cruel, cruel, cruel joke by Paula to make us believe that HW was adding something spectacular in 2006.

Ummm...you realize the park is themed to HOLIDAYS, not MOVIES...right? The only Stallone movie that would work is "Jingle All The Way."

Uh, Moosh, Ah-nold was in Jingle, not Stallone. ;)

Oops...that's who I meant! Yeah.... ;-)

The Highwayman!

Although the man on a horse thing has already been used...

Mooshie loves Stallone!

Paula, with everyone guessing next year what will go in, my question for you is:

Is there anything in the park right now that will be taken out?

You have been slowly replacing your aging flat rides, so I was wondering if you could let us in if thats the case.

In the Hol-I-Hint, Paula stated that they weren't putting all their eggs in one basket.

New Easter themed section anybody?

Let's think:

The Peter Cottontail Coaster - Roller-coaster of some type, no inversions of course because it goes Hippity-Hopping down the BUNNY trail.

The Easter Egg Basket Ride - It looks kinda like a teacups right, except you ride around in easter eggs (which you can spin, of course) - I thought I heard Pauls mention eggs and a basket!

Or we could fit a Rock-O-Plane into this section, people always say it has EGG shaped cars.

Then there would be the Peeps Boat Ride - It looks like a Swan Boat ride, except the boats look like little duck/chicken Peeps.

Then in the games of skill area, you'd have the Egg Roll - Roll your egg all the way accross our (slanted) astroturf, win a prize. Or the Easter Egg Hunt, - pay a buck, go into the field, find an egg, win the prize corresponding to the number inside the egg.

We'd have to paint the entire area up in bright pastel colors.

Speaking of bright pastel colors, we could set up a kids craft station, where the kids can decorate their own easter egg. - Sponsored by PASS of course...

The Peter Cottontail Coaster

Wouldn't a better name be Jack Rabbit? ;)
