@ExamsV8 You definitely get wet! You're welcome to ride in your swimsuit, or bring other clothes to change into (or let the sun dry you).

[TheRascalFlattsfan6]

Santa and Will must have had a good time

[21lewis12]

Why's Santa there

[HoliBlogger]

@21lewis12 Holiday World is located in Santa Claus, Indiana ... which is Santa's summer home. :0)

[Theshofumiah1]

@21lewis12

thats not Santa, thats a shaolin monk!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpartandudeChannel1]

i bet this is a fun ride! im ridin it on the 7th

[Megablueforce]

How did the park owner Will Koch die?

[HoliBlogger]

@Megablueforce We believe complications from his Type 1 diabetes caused him to pass out and drown in his home pool.

[sideslide23]

@danny12315 that was the first rune with live people on this.

[jwtravel]

R.I.P. Mr. Koch.

You helped build one heck of a park with great rides and little perks that make it worth the extra hour's drive to get there. (an hour further than King's Island from Indy and well worth it!) Sorry you had to go so young. Godspeed.

[codyjt5150]

RIP Will,

[deaddogs890]

R.I.P Will :(

[collon07]

RIP Will Koch you will be missed

[AndersonWigwam]

Park owner Will Koch passed away yesterday at his home. He was only 48. :(

[JekaClark88]

[Angelicamber345]

SANTA!!

[sideslide23]

@Angelicamber345 Scott Calvine

[stlouisfan247]

i rode it twice and am going to ride it 3 more times this year.

[webkinzgirl145]

I rode this in the summer i got scared on the ride up but not the way down :P

[mileyc17]

Omg! When i went on this ride i was so scared but it was so much fun!! I <3 holiday world. Cant wait to visit nxt summer!

[WhAtSfUnNy18]

wheres the splash?

[uglyjamzproductions]

@WhAtSfUnNy18 i know! with the worlds tallest water ride youd expect the worlds biggest splash..

[kiely2851]

what r they trying to do, scare santa to death on tht ride??? I WOULD SOOO WANNA RIDE IT !!! :DD

[Shad0vvStalk3r]

I would SO NOT lift my hands in the air, I would instead hang on the bars for dear life ....... that's freakin tall.

[bubblinbrownsugar616]

WEEEEEEEE!!!!! I hate water rides but I would most definitely get on this if I got the chance!!!

LMAO!!!

[Pers0ni]

lmao

[KeybladeKH]

Ho, Ho, Holy-Moly!

[stgelaisxavier]

ON the drop, theres only one guy with his hands up..Lol

[6flgslover]

IDK if I'd ride this or not. That drop kinda scares me, but if I could mange 2 ride a roller coaster that tall (which the tallest I've ever gotten wuz 82 ft straight down, 120 curved drop) then mayb I'll give it a shot. But I promise u, that drop looks like it's 200ft tall.

[joshman458]

I bet his Reindeer never pulled him that fast

[ezee360]

Santa got soaked

[sideslide23]

How does Santa Clause suppose to deliver all the Toys and presents to peples if all the stuff in his bag are all soaked and wet?

[markmata44]

Hey look it's santa.

[ilovehorses120]

Rode it, and loved it! :D

[iluvzacefron123]

ohh yeaaa, when me&my cuz went it looked like it was tipping&skidding more when ur at the bottom then it usually does.

lol, when me&my cuz went on it [my 1st time] it was like a 10 min. wait max, so we rode it 5 times. then it started thundering&if it lightinings, they make u get off at the top so we just decided 2 stop riding cuz we didnt want 2 hav 2 get off at the top lol.

[iluvzacefron123]

omg, i rode it..5 times in a row!!

lol. :P

but yeaa, on saturday, it was open..but it was about a 3 hour wait..at least.

so we didnt ridee.

&im still 2 chicken 2 ride the voyage lol.

but the pilgrims plunge is by farr my fave ride everrrr.

[amishcomputergeek]

I got to hug santa yesterday...He forced it on me, I didn't want to hug him

BUT HE MADE ME

[IMDBmoderator]

at 34 seconds he goes for a high five but gets REJECTED!

[JuicyDBASE]

Well, if it's good enough for santa it's good enough for me! :D

[rollercoasterfan97]

you dont get THAT wet, which kinda sucks

[iluvzacefron123]

haha.

tht ride is closed a lot, its not very safe.

but im gonna ride it next time anyway.

i have to or my cousin&uncle will make fun of me..again lol.

then i hav to ride the voyage too, then they'll stop makin fun of me.

but i rode the raven&i had neck pains for 3 days..i hate tht ride.

but holiday world is by far my favorite place ever..too bad its always packed.

[crgguy]

It seems to be down a lot. I've heard stories about faulty sensors or going too fast. anyone know whats up?

[iluvzacefron123]

yeaa, well idk wat the problem is but sometimes its open but the water isnt running down, other times its closed cuz idk y. one time ppl even had to get off at the top.

[noahman1234]

is the back of the ride suppose to raise up like that

[CookieCrush3rs]

Yeah it is, i rode it today and watched people and yeah it is

[kittierape]

Good ride but it is SLOW lol

[ChrisXMetal]

Love the way this hits solid ground, everyone is thinking "That wasn't so bad, I'm still dry", then SWOOOSH with the water!

[brimancandy]

It looks like they changed the original approach into the water. The boat seems to go straight for quite a ways, before it drops into the water. originally, it dropped into the water at the end of the drop, and the boat hit the water, and came to a dead stop. Huge splash though.

[dxcody2]

Idk if it happens to anyone else but It storms every freakin time i go to holiday world.

[rollercoaster24]

i wonder why the splash wasn't that big, even though it's the tallest of it's kind. Even Perilous Plunge has a bigger splash. But this is way much better

[KevSmithRULES34]

flaw in the design

[iowni1]

Thanx a bunch man was trying to arrange thangs for family to see what rides we were gonna ride, and i needed to see a real video of this

[ilovehorses120]

I enjoyed this ride!

[dsfdsfuzjhfe1546231e]

da ist ja der nikolaus

[HoliBlogger]

Tell your grandma that Pat Koch has ridden it a bunch -- and she's 77! :0)

[Alex11897]

im gonna ride it this saturday! cant wait! im gonna get my grandma on itLOL!

[happygraves]

:D awsome

[jaminvaughn]

well if santa liked it what the hell

[zeldafreak323]

For the wait, the best part is the elevator lift haha...the drop isn't to great unless your first seat. okay ride

[dylanwalton28]

This ride is awesome. I rode it last saturday. You get soaked!

[drummercali]

The Kochs are such great people. And what a great park Holiday World is. Going there Sunday!

[hippos19]

How are they great people?

[drummercali]

My brother has worked for them for 10 years. I am sure I would hear about it if they were not good people. He's not the kind to sugar coat things.

[RockerAustin]

i suppose they would get a little wet, but a very small splash, rather pathetic

[bigtaterman]

This ride is awesome!  Rode it yesterday!

[RockerAustin]

Did you get pretty wet on it?

[61938kitty61938]

I rode it and got SOAKED!

[ilovehorses120]

I'm very excited about going next month with my BESTEST friend ever. I love all of the rollercosters. I've only been once and this is going to be my second time. I really want to ride this, but I'm a bit nervous. Like, I've heard that people have gotten stuck up there for about an hour? What happened to make it do that? I believe that this ride is very safe, but I have small hints of curiosity. :P Heh, anyway, I LOVE YOUR PARK! :D

[foxyroxyroxmysox]

i'm so freakin excited! i'm going to holiday world on tuesday 4 a field tripppp!!!!!!

[RealKyMusic]

looks like santa wont be using reindeer this Christmas

[devilyo1]

got it

121 feet (Niagara Falls

is 155 feet at its

lowest height)

soo idkk i guess urs is higher but search it ours gets u really wet and its straight down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and better boats!!!! 6 ppl a row at tht!

[HoliBlogger]

Remember, though ... Pilgrims Plunge's boat are such that everyone get's an "outside seat." The view is spectacular!

[devilyo1]

yaaaa i guess but still its a bigg boat and u get soaked so much which this ride looks like it whiplashes u when u hit the water!!!!!!!!! and also CALI! is so hot its about 100 out here today and it looks like its cold there all the time!!!!!!!!

but perilous plung isnt for a view! its for the thrill!!!!

[forrest225]

Trust me, holiday word can get fugging hot. Thats why i luvz the pepsiz they have there.

[devilyo1]

holy crap!!!!

just going up tht looks scary i saw a pov video and it looks like it rocks to left and right.. scary...

is this higher then perilous plunge from knotts berry farm California? cuz i went on perilous plunge and its like 20 or 30 feet below niagra falls!

and it gets u soaked way more than this!!!!!!!!

[chick5581]

I like this video! I enjoyed it a lot. haha Very nice. It's cute in a weird way lol. but good job making it! it's unique!!

[sarcasticasian]

i think theres wayy to much water comming down the hill.

[HoliBlogger]

The tower is 165 feet tall...the drop is 131 feet.

[kevi8587]

this should be in orlando where the weather is nice and warm

[MBrilhart]

How tall is it?

[kitchenkill]

You deff. get soaked on this ride. can you not see the splash just hit them as they slow down?

[youtub455]

0:34 lol he tried to geive him a high five

[pieacemaker]

yeah what a great ride at holiday world .have fun

[jephsteph]

No, But Thanks Anyway!

[BoatsandHoes88]

I don't think they had the whole thing full of water yet. I mean when the boat came down from the hill it basically just skimmed right over the water

[MrMartell09]

What happened to this HUGE splash thw was gonna happen!?

[killerstump]

i know, I hope they make it big again

[woodencoasterfan]

It's easy really. Whiplash! A boat dropping from that height needs to be gradually slowed down so it's not hitting the water at full speed.

[livewireguy]

The wave doesn't look big enough.

[JimLB]

Awsome! .. Can't wait until Summer! :)
