Holiday World & Splashin' Safari Santa Claus, Indiana
Mid-Winter Solace December 8, 2001 Page One
Ever since Holiday World built the
Legend back in 1999 they have held an enthusiast event in conjunction
with the town of Santa Claus's Christmas Festival. Basically coaster
enthusiasts go on a tour of the park and what they're adding for the
next year. This year Holiday World is adding Zoombawbe to their
Splashin' Safari water park.
Here we all go into the park via
the employee entrance.
This is where Zoombawbe is being
built. It is going to start out behind the Legend and then head
on down hill before splashing down over behind the building to the right.
Zoombawbe is going to be the worlds tallest and longest enclosed water
slide so this will be Holiday World's first entry in the Guinness Book
of World Records.
This is where Zoombawbe is going
to cross over the Legend while on it's way down hill. The great
thing about this placement is that it's going to be right over the middle
of the Legend's legendary double up which produces monstrous airtime.
All I can say is to expect a head-chopper from this.
