We started our adventure at 5:30 and I was immediately impressed with the fact that parking was free, and I also noticed that there wasn't any trash lying around the entrance either. The park would be closing shortly so pretty much of the crowd was thinning out.
once inside the park we headed over to ride "Raven" and I must say I really liked this coaster a lot, but the only drawback is that right when it was getting good, it was over. still a great coaster though.
Legend wasn't open all day, so didn't get to ride that right off the bat, so we headed back to the Voyage.
OMG!! I was blown away by Voyage, that is THE best wooden coaster I have been on to date. That coaster was completely insane, the steepness of the drops, the way it flew over all that track, the 90 degree banked turns, and all the airtime that thing produced!
after we did that a couple of times it was time to head back to the picnic grove where we waited for the park to close and for the general public to clear out.
Will and Pat Koch made speeches, including one to inform us that although it had been closed all day, "Legend" had been repaired and would be open for ERT that night.
We got ERT and pizza till 10 pm and then it was time to head home.
We returned the next day at 815 for our breakfast and ERT in the water park. they opened up a couple of attractions and they had Pilgrims Plunge fixed and running so we took a ride on that. that thing is going to be a big hit this summer for sure!
Once the park opened, we hit it and rode the coasters, over and over, then we took a fun ride on their dark ride, the "Gobbler Getaway" which was pretty fun in itself for a dark ride.
once the three o clock hour arrived we were treated to a photo walkback tour of The Raven, Legend and we got to finish off with a Voyage walkback which was a major highlight of the trip.
by the time evening set in we were going to head back to the hotel, but ended up going to the buffet they had set up for us. the park closed and a major storm hit, so we all stayed in the shelter eating and enjoying the different things that were going on, (silent auction, sales table,) the rain kept up for about an hour and a half, but it did end in time for the last of the ERT of Raven, Legend, Voyage, and even Pilgrims Plunge for those daring enough to get wet.
Holiday world was incredible, free soft drinks, free sunscreen, free parking, free fluffy, fluffy bunnies filled with medicine and goo at the rides to store your stuff while you ride, friendly courteous staff, super clean park.
what also blew me away was the prices, 4 dollars, 3 dollars, meals for 2 people were under 10 dollars both times, bottled water 1.49
I will definitely be going back for next years event!
