Holiday World in Indiana is having a coaster event in May called HoliWood Nights. It looks to be a great event with lots of extra perks. The event should be amazing enough by itself, but on top of everything else, the Season Pass will be there.

If you are interested in going, here is some information I found.

Holiday World's web site
http://www.holidayworld.com/

HoliWood Nights information page
http://www.holidayworld.com/clubs/

Local hotels (from Holiday World's site)
http://www.holidayworld.com/lodging.html

I will be staying at Santa's Lodge. As of Jan. 12 they had rooms for Friday and Saturday for $89 & $99 respectively. The closest major airports I found were Louisville, Lexington, Indianapolis, and Cincinnati. None are real close, I will have to use Indianapolis and drive 3 hours (but it should be well worth it).

On the information sheet for HoliWood Nights, you will read that you need to belong to a coaster club. Doug will be announcing a solution to that though the Season Pass and Ride World.

I am very excited about this trip and hope meet some of the other Season Pass listeners.

I have never been to the Park, but if anyone has any questions, feel free to post them and I will try to find the answers or maybe one of the other listeners will know.

Hope to see you there.

Wylder

Looking forward to seeing you in Indiana, Tap.

We have a little while until the Holiwood Nights event. So, from time to time, I will try to post some things I have seen that look really cool about Holiday World. Most are found on their site. Also, you can go back and listen to The Season Pass episode 54.

Anyone who loves wooden coasters will enjoy the video of the Voyage from Holiday World's site.

I wish I was able to make it out there. It sounds like a fun event and an awesome park. I'll try and plan ahead for next year and save up some money to go to a coaster event. It would be a lot of fun to hang out with some of the other Season Pass listeners.

Okay, Since I won't be going (going to be the responsible mommy) I will trust that you will all keep an eye on my big Baby and make sure he doesn't get into any trouble without me......LOL Laughing

Even with the harsh weather most of the country has had this winter (from what I have seen on TV, Florida has had great weather this winter), Holiday World is getting closer to opening the world's tallest water ride.
They have a video of part of Pilgrims Plunge's hill going up, on their blog.

84 days left until the great Season Pass meet at Holiday World.

I will be with you guys in spirit! Hope you all have a blast and can't wait for that live show Very Happy

I was listening to In the Loop today (Feb. 23 episode featuring the Season Pass man himself) and they were talking about wanting to do a live show at Kings Dominion, and all I could think of was the LIVE show for Season Pass taking place at Holiwood Nights Very Happy
