The Voyage roller coaster at Holiday World, Santa Claus, Indiana

I do have an admission to make. The real reason for our visiting Holiday World was not for the coasters...it was for Bond's girlfriend. He and Charlotte went to kindergarten and first grade out by Santa Claus and then lost track when we moved to Illinois. Thanks to the internet and cell phones she tracked him down, we have taken a few trips back to Southern Indiana to see her, she and her parents have taken a few trips out here to Illinois to see him. Then there were proms and almost a year later here we are.

I do have to say that whoever you are if you find a girl who is awesome enough to throw up the horns while on a coaster...she is a keeper.

With The Voyage behind is it was time to get our Thunderbird on.

I have to say that here in 2017 during Thunderbird's third season I am still shocked that there is not just a B&M here in little old Holiday World but a one of a kind world class one at that.

I just go back to my first visit in 1998 where there was just The Raven and Holiday World was a very little family park.

I spent my first at Holiday World riding The Raven non stop when I wasn't riding The Banshee, Frightful Falls, Scarecrow Scrambler, Raging Rapids and the Eagle's Flight which along with Paul Revere's Midnight Ride (a spinner that I can't handle) constituted the parks entire lineup of thrill rides back then.
