Holiday World is giving visitors another reason to squeeze in a late-summer trip to Santa Claus, Indiana, with more than 40 new festival bites — including a Thanksgiving dinner served inside a bread cone and a “burger and fries” that’s actually dessert.

It definitely seems like every other park that's not a Six Flags park is thriving right now. Whether it's food offerings, being able to post on social media, on their own pages, new rides, and just actually making money.

I do my part to support the park, but you can only shine up a dull item for so long.

I feel like the United parks aren't doing too hot either, especially with the Sesame Workshop issues and the degraded quality of experience. Herschend and a lot of the independent parks do seem to be doing very well though. I'm glad Holiday World is continuing to spice up their offerings! They seem like a real gem of a park!!
