Before the evening ride session was to begin Bond and I decided to take a train ride on the Freedom Train.  Unfortunately after sixty some years of service Holiday World's first ride was taken out of service in 2013 and with a new train encircling Holidog's Fun Town came a new name.  It is now the Holidog Express.



New train, new name, same cheesy but fun nursery rhymes as you go along on the train.



I have always liked these giant sculptures and statues because they are so campy and Americana-ish which is a great little reminder of Holliday World's humble beginning as a roadside attraction back in 1946 when it was Santa Claus Land.



The old lady who lived in a shoe is one of my favorites from around the Freedom Train, I mean Holidog Express ride.



For our evening's food and festivities down in Holiday World's picnic grove the park continued to go all out "Back to the Future" with an "Enchantment Under The Sea" dance just like in the first BTTF.  Don't worry there were no injuries and everyone survived because I kept clear of the dance floor and d1d absolutely no dancing.
