The real "What is Holiday World up to?" thread

Today's Holiblog makes me wonder if Holiday World found an old Schwarzkopf Speedracer. After all, you know what the ones Marriott bought were called...! Or perhaps she was hinting about the waterpark expansion that is also coming next year...

Well word is that SFGAM is going to without any fanfair or announcement close and remove the Whizzer sometime soon. Personally I'd be willing to give a kidney to have the Whizzer nearby and as great a family coaster it is it would fit right in at HW.

Have Fun!

Yeah, that would rock, to keep Whizzer nearby, I live 2 hours from GAm and I absolutely love Whizzer, I hear it costs alot maitenance wise though.

...And yet that worthless piece of Swiss garbage on the other end of the park just keeps rolling along. Sorry, but between Iron Wolf and Whizzer, the Whizzer is a much better ride, and on the days I visited, the ridership appeared to bear out that theory.

Although it is hard to identify a "low ridership" attraction in a park that is so slammed that everything is running at capacity with a long line...

--Dave Althoff, Jr.

My thoughts exactly, Dave. :-)

Anywoo....

Ouch!!! not quite where I was going but hey, the dark ride could be an interactive adventure about dating. Can you imagine the ride ops instructions to that one. "Everyone keep hands to yourselves until we get to the third date sequence, and please fasten your ......! Sorry couldn't resist. By the way would the free stew come before or after the ride?

Isn't that third base? Am I out of the loop here? ;-)

<---who is terrified at the idea of free stew kiosks.

Wow I loved SFGAm's Whizzer last summer on my visit. It's so much better than any Arrow mine train I've ever ridden IMO. Shame to see it go, and I do hope someone can buy it!

The last holihint was pretty funny. One of my stupid suggestions made the short list. Can't wait for the all you can eat gravy. Oh and sorry Chuck, but I did not see any stew on the list.

Whizzer is one of the very best non-looping steel rides out there, and would be an *excellent* family-style addition to ANY park.

If GAm is foolish enough to get rid of it, HW would be one of the few parks that could, and would, put in the effort to keep it running (Knoebels being another). The area next to Raven's storage tack (weird saying THAT, huh?) would be a prime location for that *totally twisted* lift-hill...

What I don't exactly get is how RideMan came to: "Today's Holiblog makes me wonder if Holiday World found an old Schwarzkopf Speedracer. After all, you know what the ones Marriott bought were called...! Or perhaps she was hinting about the waterpark expansion that is also coming next year..." I guess i Just dont see it in the blog what he saw.

Nevermind, I figured it out. I seriously doubt that the story about the kid had anything to do with the expansion project. *** Edited 6/23/2005 2:47:08 PM UTC by beast7369***

Where's Bob aka Kick The Sky at, he loves the gravy buffet, hehehe, now we just need all you can eat pancakes there and the world would be a better place.

<----first post on this topic, only took 35 pages to post something

Based on the latest Holiblog, I guess that President's Day is out. I was so looking forward to the Bill Clinton Fun House and Hot Wing Shack, the FDR Wheel Chair Coaster and the JFK Camelatte coffee bar.

Wouldn't it be great if HW replaced their current flyers with some new snappable ones?

I still don't see the reason to not LOVE Iron Wolf. You guys are a bunch of pansies.... ;)

Rob - TERA TERA TERA! (Oh, sorry.... wrong channel)

Paula did say Arbor day twice. Perhaps this is a hint?

Nasai, I could give you two reasons to dislike Iron Wolf...but being male, you wouldn't understand.

I had bruises for a week.

CPLady, I could give you two reasons to dislike Iron Wolf...but being female, you wouldn't understand. :)

Iron Wolf is an equal-opportunity offender.

ROTFL!! Touche'

Sorry for asking, but I'm getting lost at 35 pages. My question is this: Have we absolutely established that the coaster we're all expecting is going in the new themed area?
Is it possible that while HW is adding a new holiday, the coaster will go into an existing section of the park?

We haven't established that the expansion will include a coaster.

Paula

HW has not *confirmed* a new coaster...the clues certainly do lead us in that direction though. Steel plates, lumber deliveries, GG guys coming to the park incognito (thought we'd miss that, huh?)....LOL!

We have established that most of us are waiting impatiently for July 13th. *watches the time tick slowly by*
