Also, on your way down, be sure to stop and "See Rock City" (as numerous barn roofs and billboards will tell you). It's a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the visit. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

I will definitely consider it, since I'll always be able to cancel my reservation if I can't make it. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

Even with construction, I'll still want to leave Saturday to save the extra $67 in hotel costs from staying another night. Hopefully between Saturday and Sunday I'll be able to do everything I want. What kind of a discount would I be able to get on a two-day ticket? AAA doesn't sell them and festival + two day admission is $92 through the park's website.

I am hoping to get to the park within 30 minutes of the time they open. Since the park isn't open Friday night I'll be saving money by just driving out there early Saturday morning instead of Friday night as I had originally planned. I'm not too interested in discount tickets unless they can be obtained for less than $35 (the park has a combined festival/admission ticket for $65 on their website and the festival is $30 if you already have park admission).

I am currently planning a possible trip to Holiday World for the "Rock The World" Christian Music Festival in late August. After some research and such, here is my current plan (again, this is still in the planning stages - nothing will be purchased or booked until much closer to the date I plan to visit...): Leave here early Saturday morning (8:30-9am Eastern probably), arriving at Holiday World around 10 or 10:30 Central (I'm a little over 2 1/2 hours from the park). Spend all day at the park Saturday, spend the night, drive back sometime Sunday. I will likely be staying at the Motel 6 in Dale as it's 10 minutes from the park and $60 a night. However, having never been to Holiday World before, I have a couple questions: One day or two? I want to do as much as possible (including both water coasters and possibly the log flume and rapids rides as well, though that's about it as far as the water park goes). Can I realistically cram most of the park into a 9-hour day, even with the larger crowds that will likely be there that day? What are some of the "must do" attractions besides the roller coasters and water rides that I've already mentioned?

I personally would like to see a Tom+Chee at the park. They'd probably not be able to offer a full menu there, but it's still a great option. (If you don't know what Tom+Chee is, see http://www.tomandchee.com for more info) Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

The park said it was scrapped. What more are you looking for? Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

That doesn't sound familiar, but I don't know. I was there in August of 2010. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

Based on the report, it looks like people are linking to malicious sites on memegenerator (probably in comments or similar). The report itself specifically says the site doesn't host malware. In the future it would probably be best to save the meme to your computer then upload it to a photo hosting site. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

The "slice" of fudge is still a better deal - get a large slab of fudge for $6.99. They also give you a free slice if you buy 2. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

And yet they still put an apostrophe in "Kings". Sigh...

It also clutters up the forum. Imagine how annoying it would be if someone made a post every time WindSeeker found too much wind... Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

I was less surprised at that than at the kids' version of Michael W. Smith's "Friends" that I heard yesterday. Of course, this is the same park that also plays a kids' rendition of "Maniac" from the movie Flashdance, which is far from family friendly (the movie, not the song).

Starlight Spectacular looked great the first year or so, although it was a bit confusing as to when the actual "show" part of it was. The problem is it wasn't maintained. LEDs weren't replaced when they went out, etc. By last season it had become a joke and an eyesore. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

Ok, so 4 rides, one of which wasn't open on the day I went :/

Spider is gone now too? That makes 3 rides now (counting Dodgem and Hot Cat) that have been removed since I was last there. Spider was fun too - a smaller more intense version of Monster.

A sign shop tour would be great. I've heard great things about that.

As far as charging your phone at the park goes, get a portable cell phone charger. They're readily available on Amazon for around $30 depending on brand and capacity. I bought a Jackery Bar and love it. It fits nicely in my pocket and keeps my phone charged while I'm in the park. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

There used to be a generic "theme park wait times" app (I think it was calls Ride Hopper), but as it relied on users to keep it up to date, so it wasn't reliable most of the time. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

Those photos of Voyage make me even more determined to make it to Holiday World this summer. Maybe in August or September...

I need to remember to add that to my pass next time I'm at the park. It's a shame drinks aren't included, but I'm sure they have a good reason for that, and I can always bring my souvenir cup, even though I hate carrying it around the park all day. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

Steak n Shake is on Mason-Montgomery, but there are so many hotels in that area that there's no telling which one you were at Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

There's a Super 8 right up the road as well. Being a local, I have no idea how good it is, but many people stayed there for Media Day / opening weekend, so it can't be that bad. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

A mini coaster marathon was the biggest highlight of my trip Monday. 6 Banshee rides, 4 Bat rides, 3 DB rides and a Beast ride all in 2½ hours. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

Great photo! However, you mean 1979, not 1972, unless Beast somehow debuted 6 years before that construction photo was taken
