Holiday World, Santa Claus, Indiana

On our big Kentucky Kingdom, Carowinds, and Dollywood trip we tried to break up the drives so we weren't in the car more than six hours at any stretch it made sense to add a stop at Holiday World as it is perfectly placed between Dollywood and home.

In addition to keeping from being in a car all day I was looking forward to visiting Holiday World as it is a park that is near and dear to my heart.

From 2002 to 2007 I loved down the street quite literally.  Holiday World was a place for fun, having it nearby helped me through some really difficult times, it is a place where I met so many wonderful people who are now part of my coaster family, and the park has some of the best coasters that I was needing to get another few laps on.

As my last visit to Holiday World was seven years ago I was curious as to what has changed to this amazing park.  Free sunscreen up in the dry part of the park is a small and nice change to the park.

Back when we lived here there wasn't anyone who worked rides at Holiday World that I didn't know.   As it has been almost twenty years since we moved away this visit felt kind of like an alumni visiting their  school decades later.  You just now that you'd be running into a few familiar faces but you never did.
