      I go to Holiday World every year, it really is amazing! I've never been to any other theme park, but I have a feeling I'd be disappointed by anything other than Holiday World.

      The tickets for this place are rather expensive for what they offer so none of it is really free. You are just paying extra for it with the ticket price.

      @@callmemarc to be fair they do have world-class wooden Roller Coasters. The kids seemed very happy. 50$ admission is a tad high. a trip to the fair could cost more if you don't car pool this has better rides.

    The theming of Good Gravy! reminds me of that meme, where one panel is what people think the 80s were like (loud day-glo colors etc), and the other panel is what the 80s were really like (wood paneling). The 60s were before my time, and I wonder what the average household looked like back then, vs. our stylized memory of it

    I have to absolutely applaud Holiday World on creativity in theming. I feel like most theme parks that aren't directly tied to some kind of movie IP always default to being themed around either genres of fiction (fantasy, adventure, western, etc) or some kind of region of the world or some combination of both. Disney did the former before its IP library got strong, Busch Gardens did the latter. But Holiday World is just like "Nah, we're doing holidays". Particularly big props for a roller coaster that evokes Thanksgiving dinner in general and gravy in specific.

    Howler:just a zamperla gravity coaster.
    The legend: focused on laterals, great cci coaster.
    The raven: focused on hills and turns, again great cci
    The voyage: focused on airtime, anything you could want on a coaster, top tier, best ride in the park.

    Putting on the Bluetooth mic while the camera tracks you to a face hole is the perfect use for it, although leaving the camera alone to ride the tiny roller coaster gave me anxiety about the chance for somebody to steal your new camera. Free sunscreen and free soda are amazing! Also, I don't have kids, but that park looked perfectly suited for small children, with plenty of rides they could enjoy. It seems like most theme parks just have one small section for kids and design the park around teens and adults.
