HWBeast1039 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 According to their Facebook page, Santa Claus is under a Level 1 water restriction, so Holiday World has voluntarily closed Pilgrims Plunge. Hopefully it rains soon! Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Radio reports indicate they have also canceled fireworks displays for the time being. Quote
KIfan1980 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Terpy - in a recent facebook post, they indicated that "due to the extreme hot and dry weather" there would be no fireworks on te 4th. I don't know how often they typically do fireworks. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 This made the WSB radio news down here in Atlanta. Quote
beastrider97 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 I got nervous for a moment and thought the ride was closed for good. That would be a major monetary loss for the park. Quote

I don't know how often they typically do fireworks. I believe only on the 4th of July, but I could be wrong, so don't quote me on that. Quote
HWBeast1039 Posted July 1, 2012 Author Posted July 1, 2012 There is no end in sight for this drought! I live 2 hours away and the grass is crusty and brown. We had some rain last night, but not enough to do anything. Quote
windshawne Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 I think that's a wise decision. Having been through a fire when I lived in Cali, you have to be real careful. Quote
TheCrypt Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Why would Holiday World close just one water attraction, instead of the low capacity/unpopular water slides/attractions in Splashin' Safari? Seems almost useless to a person who doesn't know a whole lot about this subject. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 It depends on how much water each attraction uses. You can trust that HW has made the wisest decision under the circumstances. 1 Quote
KIfan1980 Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 I would imagine it is based upon the water use vs heat benefit. PP is a likely heavy water user but doesn't provide much heat relief. The waterpark on the other hand is a place for people to go on a hot day to cool off. Quote
Browntggrr Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 There is no end in sight for this drought! I live 2 hours away and the grass is crusty and brown. We had some rain last night, but not enough to do anything. My grass is crusty and brown as well, and I live on the shores of Lake Erie.Currently, we are 3" under normal precipitation for the year, and there is no end in sight Quote
thekidd33 Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 June was the second driest month on record for us here in Indy. Quote
Titan Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Yeah it's really dry in Brookville too. All the rain we got the other day did not even make a slightest difference. Quote
