Overhyped pirate ship! Calling it right now, LET'S DO THIS!

^ I thought that was for this season. I'm going to guess a flying scooters ride, they're becoming popular

Full of scurvy and rotten orange peels! Can't wait!

They've leaked out a bunch of stuff, I rode the Voyage Wednesday and witnessed them pouring a footer for what seems like a steel coaster. Here's an image of what you can see right now.

double fail, Holiday World already has a pirate ship AND flying scooters!

meh I have very little chance of getting there in the near future, I dont have a clue what kind flats they have. If this is indeed a coaster it will be interesting when they finally do announce it

It is reportedly the largest expansion in Holiday World's seven decade history. Considering The Voyage and Thanksgiving alone was around $11-15 Million, I'm awfully excited. Guess we'll find out July 24th. I'll be in the park that day and numerous more times up until then. Just shoot me a PM if there's anything you guys wanna know, see, hear, etc.

Some sort of coaster/water ride hybrid thingy, like Powerkeg?

Eh no I think they'll go with a safe design like a B&M so that they don't get burned

I'm going again Monday, anybody want me to scout anything?

Yeah but a terrained B&M would still be sick

I'm hoping for a Wing, Dive, or Flyer.


On another note, someone took the shredded paper in their media kit and got this out of it:




Someone on another forum also pointed out it looked similar to Gate keeper at Cedar Point:

^ That doesn't look similar, it looks almost exactly the same as GateKeeper!

That's because the second image is Gate Keeper... I mean comparing the first image to the blueprints for Gate Keeper.

Too many wingriders in the midwest lol.

I'm pretty sure that footer plans generally look the same regardless of make or model

HAZAA!

Should be interesting to see what this is, especially since this is the largest expansion since the park opening!

I kid you not, one of the footers I stood about 8 ft from, was absolutely massive. 6-10 feet wide.
