pkiboy Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 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! http://www.holidayworld.com/node/3373 Quote
CoastersRZ Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Sounds like some solid investments. And hopefully, the Timberliners will be rolling next year as well! Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 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... Quote

coasterguy15 Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 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. Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 That seems like a lot for 2011! Holiday World, seems to always come up with great improvements for their park! Quote

You hit it on the head there! Might be why they see increased attendance year after year! Quote
Spacoli Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 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? Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 No, you are very much right... And not just Taft, but KECO, too... Quote
markr Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 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.) Quote

If you ever sent them a note about they you might be right! Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Holiday World just gets it. This. EDIT: Is no longer a one-word post since I added this edit. Quote
PhantomTheater Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 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... New for 2013 Flying Turns (pending state approval). Quote
Beast1979 Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 I love Holiday World. Pat Koch is incredible. What an idea, listen to the guests and do what they want. Incredible. Quote

Does Cedar Fair listen to there Guests thats the real Question. Jackson u find that out for me ok . Quote
Pillsberry123 Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Great to hear that they make improvements other than adding ride after ride. Quote
jdawg1998 Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 ...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! Quote
