PKIDelirium Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Is this finally the end for the remnants of the failed Intamin flume ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robintodd Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 What a creative name, concept and video. Well done! Only way it could have been better was to name it Wavy Gravy and have music by the Greatful Dead playing in the que 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, the land was already cleared earlier this year except for the station. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I think I would have done Gravy Boat as the name, not Good Gravy. Still play on the theme of no gravy since it spilled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor.B03 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I love the station! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 The more I think about this coaster the more I love it. It just fits the park. While I am sure Top Thrill 2 will be the better coaster. I think Holiday World had the better announcement. It also definitely has the better name. Good Gravy is going to produce some some good merch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion-XL200 Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 I don't know why, but I'm more excited about this ride than I think I should be haha! Will be a nice solid addition for Holiday World.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 And they allowed adequate time to complete the job so that it is done in time for opening day. I am not complaining about KI opening rides around Memorial day since the park is open until end of December with Winterfest. It just seems like Holiday World allowed ample time to execute their design in a reasonable manner, which will ultimately produce a better finished product. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial79 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Maybe one of the reasons KI waited in starting was because of the last few months the park is open for WinterFest. Could we imagine how upset guests would be, if half of Planet Snoopy wasn’t open for it? Woodstock Gliders and Linus Launcher needing repainted, and possibly Snoopy Boutique being closed for the new restaurant. I would take opening Camp Snoopy around Memorial Day, before closing half of Planet Snoopy during WinterFest. But Good Gravy is looking sweet though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the area where the coaster will be was already sectioned off. I think most are surprised that Good Gravy is essentially ready but SSBR isn't vertical yet. Could the track had already been installed? More than likely if it was on site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vekoma has a deal with Holiday World that they would be the first to open up a family Vekoma boomerang in the US. That’s why KI is taking their time because they can’t open SSBR until Good Gravy opens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If SSBR opened 10 minutes after Holiday World opened for the season, then that would still be true. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoan Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 To piggy back off this discussion a bit. My youngest is turning 8 this year, she'll be real closer to the 52 inch rider. She's decided she wants to take a trip to Holiday World for her birthday which is right around the season opener traditionally for them. I was going to make a full day of it, getting in on Friday and going home Sunday. Do I need a two day pass, or can I reasonably finish the dry park in one day? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can go when the water park is open, do that! Spend a day at the water park and a day in the dry park. If not Waterpark fans, still do 2 day tickets. You can never predict the crowds and you don't want to get caught not doing the things you want to because lines were too long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
