SonofBeast07 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 legend, voyage, zoombabwe, wildebeest, gobbler getaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekidd33 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Holiday World is an incredible park with lots to offer. You won't find a cleaner park or nicer staff anywhere. The theme park side does not have a huge selection of rides but all three wooden coasters, Raven, Legend, and Voyage are all incredible (Voyage is my overall #1). Head to Voyage first thing as the line can grow pretty quickly. Gobbler Getaway and Patriot Launch are my favorite flat rides in the park. Splashin' Safari is a great waterpark with a huge slide selection. Zoombabwe and Zinga are great waterslides, though the lines for both can get quite long in the afternoon. I am sure Wildebeest will be a great ride too. Pilgram's Plunge is a neat ride but I usually only ride it once per visit. The one thing to note is that many of the lines for the slides involve going up A LOT of stairs. I hope you find a chance to get down there this season, its a great park!

Dbfan Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I usually hit up Voyage, Legend, then Raven a couple of times, then when I get hot I spend the rest of the day at the waterpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast Rider Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 You definately want to ride all three coasters. All their coasters run trim brake free too (at least they did last year)!!! They all three are great rides in their own way. Raven is right by the entrance to the park, you'll want to wait a while to get it. One time I was there, the line was nuts right after opening, but later in the day it was a walk-on. Holiday World is a great park to visit. Hope you do find time to get there this summer!

westcoaster Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 And this year they are adding the biggest water coaster or something right??? And with ky kingdom closing holiday world is the great louisville's park now, and we'll continue to expand. Do they get a million yet in people???? Also it would be great addition for a metal coaster, and lots' more flats; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Yes, last year attendance was over 1,000,000..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyMan98 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Also it would be great addition for a metal coaster, and lots' more flats; This is a stupid correction, but that would be called a "steel" coaster. Not a metal. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 And they used to have one...it was quite the....firecracker.... Steel, it's gone now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyMan98 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 That was the best pun ever^. And I do agree they need a "steel" coaster, because it seems kind of boring to have a bunch of wooden coasters. They might also want to add more thrill rides, because they don't have much compared to some bigger parks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 That was the best pun ever^.... Two, if you are keeping track at home. Terpy, on a roll....or coaster.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 And the puns just keep on coming. oliday World is a nice little park. I`ve been a couple of times, but the last time I visited was back in 2006, shortly after The Voyage opened. Its not that bad of a drive from the Cincinnati area. It will be interesting to see how those new Timberliners ride on The Voyage this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveStroem Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 One tip I have for you is to join a coaster club that is partnered with HW. The club price is $28.95. I know that ACE, & CoasterBuzz get this price for card carrying members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gad198 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 ^ Good advice. There are some really cheap coaster club options that may work even better for you if you look at their page: http://www.holidayworld.com/clubs I'll disagree about hitting Voyage first thing. If your sole mission is to get on in short order at opening then I'd agree, but otherwise, I'd strongly recommend that you hit Raven, Legend, and Voyage in that order. If you do Voyage first you may be let down by the other two even though they're both good coasters. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 ...not to mention good wood coasters (and even bad ones) often need time to warm up. Imagine the anticipointment if your first Beast ride is on the first Beast train of the day. Often very slooooooooooow........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 ^ I been on the first Beast train of the day, in the very front seat with 0 people on the train with me. Most boring ride ever on The Beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGatorHead 8904 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Also it would be great addition for a metal coaster And I do agree they need a "steel" coaster, because it seems kind of boring to have a bunch of wooden coasters. But they do have a steel coaster: http://www.rcdb.com/555.htm Paul Revere's Midnight Ride (the "octopus-style ride" is how it's described on their website) and Rough Riders (their bumper cars) are both fun as well.
