"New for 2011" announcement for Holiday World & Splashin' Safari

[SimonJLeonJr]

Hello, I have been bringing my children for years. I have also been bringing my grandchildren for approx. 5 years or so. I wish that you would leave the airplane ride and just add the sleigh ride. You really need a larger area for the little guys. My youngest grandkids twins are now 2 1/2 and Kayden & Kayia (Boy & Girl) are like a lot of other young kids and a little impatient in waiting to get on rides. Please, Please do more for the little ones.

Thank You for all the Years of Fun!

Happy 80th Pat! I'm planning on visiting Holiday World this summer! I can't wait!

[45eezee]

[Zukney]

[Zukney]

[kcirtap1662]

add a bigger rollar coaster and make it steel!

[Furrybeetle]

I hope you are just moving the kiddie planes and not getting rid of them. It was the first ride for each of my 3 girls when they were big enough to ride alone. I have pictures of each of girl in them. The new rides are nice but the "older" rides are what makes the trip to Holiday World fun and nostalgic for me. I like to see my girls enjoying the same rides I did as a child.

This is the greatest theme park in the world, clean, well run!!! Can't wait to go back again this season. Not missed one since we first went in '98.

[zatinatube]

Great...Pat is looking great!

[kkeewiinn2]

Pat is 80?!?!?!?!

[mcmbjones]

I love HW! Will be there to see it in 2011!

[dragonpullman]

I'd like to see a Christmas Themed wooden roller coaster called "The Abonimable Snowman" at Holiday World someday. Although in order to make it fit, they'ed probably have to paint it white.

[endthedisease]

I would like to see the park expand in size. It's getting hard to walk through the crowds.

[lovlydogs]

how is old holidayworld?

[HoliBlogger]

@lovlydogs We opened in 1946 as Santa Claus Land

[splosiontime]

I thought free soft drinks was good enough. Wow, thanks ;)

[robman97]

I'm shocked that she is 80 she dosen't look a day over 50!

[orangebeachgirl]

Our family just loves this park. We live in Huntsville, AL and we try to go at least one time a year. We always have the best time there. The Wildebeest is amazing. It is one of the very best water parks anyway. Everyone there is so friendly. I'm excited about the A/C at Plymouth Rock. (BTW, the turkey legs are so yummy! Will get that next year again.) :)

[MestizoFilipino]

Where is that statue? I've never seen it.

[HoliBlogger]

@MestizoFilipino It's on State Road 245, just southeast of the park.

[Coastercarl]

Living in Pennsylvania,I haven't been to HW since 2003, but it is always in my Heart. Pat I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with you twice, once at HW and once when you were at Hershey park. You look great! No way you are going to be 80. Best wishes to everyone at HW!

[rktinc]

Would you expect anything less from Holiday World? I know I wouldn't. Wow Pat you look amazing for 79 years old, I thought you were in you 60s Nice to finanly put a face to Dan Koch he's just as handsome as Will:O) Anyways great additons to the park as usual keep up the great work can't wait see what the next big kids ride will be hopefully Steel and Intamin.

[rollercoasterfan97]

this is extremely assuring and encouraging to see parks actually caring about the people and their complaints, and doing something about it.

holiday world really is brilliant.

[maverickpoint]

wonderful! this makes me more excited and anxious to come to your guys theme park! it is definitely the little things that matter and from what you're saying, you guys are really taking good steps forward that I'm positive will make your park a better place for guests. I've never been to Holiday World, but might take a visit this summer! looking forward to more updates on this. :)

[musicAL722]

I cannot believe Pat Koch is almost 80 years old. She looks fantastic and is so energetic! I love it! And I love Holiday World. And Dan seems to be doing a fantastic job. Way to go.

[davidrayahin]

I love how prepared, but informal the Koch family is. I applaud you all for the amazing work you've done!

[dietcokevan]

This is why Holiday World looks so amazing! They CARE about all of their guests! They seem to go out of their way to make sure their guests have a great time at the park!

AC will make eating and relaxing more pleasurable.

Rudolph's Reindeer Ranch will give the youngsters a ride to enjoy with their parents.

Safari Sam's Splashland will give the kids their own waterpark it seems like.

The parking lot, lockers, restrooms, and changing rooms are always welcome additions.

Great job guys!

[sabiki74]

Great ideas, Holiday World! Can't wait!

[babunnel]

Pat you look amazing for your age! My god! I am so excited for the park. Holiday world is the best family park on earth. You will definitely receive my patronage as long as I am on this earth!

[Moonpies]

God bless the Kochs!

[MooreWV]

This all looks fantastic. I made my first trip to Holiday World this year- about a four hour drive- and absolutely loved the park. I can't wait to visit again!

[mightypotato]

Additions like this and the genuine love for the park and it's guests is what makes Holiday World truly the best park in the world. Keep up the excellent work!

[brennakj]

Wow, that's a LOT of improvements. Thanks for making a great park even better!

[persianking44]

See, this is what theme parks need to be doing. Family rides one year, thrills the next.

I do have one question though: how much land does Holiday World own?

[HoliBlogger]

@persianking44 We have another 70 or so acres to the north of the water park.

[saphiro007]

@HoliBlogger do you need any new ideas? I'm full of them, and love this park!!! This park is AMAZING!!!!

[NtwProductionsNow]

More lockers in Splashin Safari! A much needed addition, more so than a new coaster.
