HoliWood Nights May 2009Holiday 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.

I will definitely be there! |

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. http://www.holidayworld.com/voyage_video.html |

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

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. http://www.holidayworld.com/holiblog/holiblog.html 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  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

We are less than a month out from HoliWood Nights. Holiday Worlds new ride, Pilgrims Plunge is now official. Santa has taken the plunge.

^ You beat me to it lol.
Those videos made sooo much more excited to go now lol. I'm registered and I have my hotel. Now I have to impatiently wait....

| Rollerman87 |
You guys have fun there!
Watching the vid though, the splash on Pilgrim's Plunge sucks. It's definitely no Jurassic Park or pre-OTSR Perilous Plunge. |
| Doug_Barnes |
Looks Great! I’m thrilled with the fact the splash isn’t overwhelming. I’m a wuss about getting soaked… I wear a poncho on Hollywood’s Jurassic Park.

| e_tapley0687 |
^ lol
I thought the spalsh would be bigger too. I'm guessing it's still going to be bigger and the water cannons weren't on at the time of recording lol. |

Alright Everyone! The big trip is in two weeks. Final forum head count - Who will be attending HoliWood Nights and who will be meeting up with us @ King's Island on May 28th? |
| Wylder |
I'm sure you guessed, but Mrs. Wylder and myself will bet there for all the parks. |
| e_tapley0687 |
I will be at Holiwood Nights! |
| Doug_Barnes |
So far we have -
Wylder Mrs. Wylder E-Tapley Robert Urso Godsey(s) & Me Sweet! |
