It's the moment you've been waiting for ... the answer to the question "What's new for 2011?"

Our president, Dan Koch, and his wonderful mom, Pat, have the answers.

oh, and someone's 80th birthday!

Sounds like some solid investments. And hopefully, the Timberliners will be rolling next year as well!

2011: Children and Comfort...

And a comfortable voyage will be had by all...now if we could just get the flying turns up at that other place...

I love Knoebles. I think thats my 2nd fav park that is family Owned.

This is such an amazing decision on HW's part. Listening to what the public is saying, a lot, and then addressing the matters of comfort and convenience. I just can't convey in words how impressed I am by the people down at Holiday World.

On second thought, Holiday World is just that good. They are taking the concept of an amusement park and enhancing the "enjoyment and relaxation" aspect by tenfold. Not just enhancing, but going beyond the call, thinking outside the box that is the modern day's amusement park, and creating an unforgettable experience for all of their visitors.

That seems like a lot for 2011!

Holiday World, seems to always come up with great improvements for their park!

You hit it on the head there! Might be why they see increased attendance year after year!

I never did visit KI during the Taft days, but the way HW now runs their park seems very similar to how some of you describe the Taft days of KI? Am I right on this? Or am I just crazy?

No, you are very much right...

And not just Taft, but KECO, too...

I guess they are going to enclose the Plymouth Rock Cafe eating area-they stated they are going to put a/c in that area. Wonderful decision. While I enjoyed the food there it was very hot in the eating area-the umbrellas didn't really shelter you from the sun that well. They must of read my mind. ( LOL.)

If you ever sent them a note about they you might be right!

Holiday World just gets it.

New for 2013 Flying Turns (pending state approval).

I love Holiday World. Pat Koch is incredible. What an idea, listen to the guests and do what they want. Incredible.

But wait...... Does Cedar Fair listen to there Guests thats the real Question. Jackson u find that out for me ok .

Great to hear that they make improvements other than adding ride after ride.

...but do Kings Island listen to park guests when we say that midgets bleeding isn't a good idea? No.....

While I'm disappointed it's not a new ride for this year (I mean thrill ride) I'm at the same time really excited to go next year! My sister will have so much fun in the new waterpark area and in the Santa's sleigh ride!
