- Holiday World & Splashin' Safari (known as Santa Claus Land prior to 1984) is a combination theme park and water park located near Interstate 64 and U.S. 231 in Santa Claus, Indiana, United States. The theme park is divided into four sections that celebrate Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July with rides, live entertainment, games, and attractions. Holiday World is known for its three wooden roller coasters: The Raven, The Legend, and The Voyage, as well as for Thunderbird, a B&M launched Wing Coaster and The Howler. The safari-themed water park includes the world's two longest water coasters: Wildebeest and Guinness World Record Holder Mammoth, numerous family raft rides and water slides, two wave pools, junior-sized wave pool, two children’s-sized water slide areas, a lazy river, two family "tipping bucket".
Holiday World is divided into four holiday-themed sections: Christmas, Halloween, Fourth of July and Thanksgiving. Each of the sections features rides, games, food and other attractions that follow the theme of that section's respective holiday. The music that plays over the loud speakers in each section is also themed to that section's respective holiday; guests will often notice the music change as they enter a different section. Splashin' Safari, which is connected to the theme park via entrances in the Halloween and Thanksgiving sections, takes the general theme of a safari.
Christmas:
Upon admission to Holiday World, guests immediately enter the Christmas section. The Christmas section is the oldest section of Holiday World, dating back to 1946. It was also the only themed area of the park until 1984. Although devoid of any major rides, there is a small sub-section called Rudolph's Reindeer Ranch which is home to several small children's rides. Notable landmarks in this section include a Santa Claus statue, a Christmas tree, a nativity scene and the Applause fountain, which was added after the park was awarded the IAAPA Applause Award in 2004. The Christmas section of the park also includes one of the park's two air-conditioned restaurants: Kringle's Kafé, which serves standard theme park fare such as pizza, burgers and ice cream. Since the park's opening in 1946, Santa Claus has been available daily throughout the season to chat with children.
Rides:
Comet's Rockets
Dasher's Seahorses
Prancer's Merry-Go-Round
Reindeer Games
Rudolph's Round-UP
Dancer's Fish
Halloween:
The Halloween section was one of two new holidays added in 1984. Two of the three wooden roller coasters in the park are located here: The Raven and The Legend. The area also has a Goblin Burgers restaurant, which resembles a witch's house, the Frightful Falls log flume that intertwines with The Legend, and the main entrance to Splashin' Safari water park. Apart from the architecture, guests will hear the school bell from The Legend's station ringing ominously throughout the section. It introduced Kitty Claws as its mascot in 2012.
Rides:
Frightful Falls
HallowSwings
Scarecrow Scrambler
The Legend
The Raven
Fourth of July:
The Fourth of July section was the second of the two holidays that were added in 1984. It introduced George the Eagle as its mascot. This area features more attractions than any of the four sections in the theme park. Landmarks in this section include the Hoosier Celebration Theater, where many live shows are performed; the Good Old Days Picnic Grove, where numerous shelter houses may be rented out for company picnics; and The Alamo restaurant, which serves traditional Mexican food. The Fourth of July section is also home to a sub-section called Holidog's FunTown, a children's play area which is completely encircled by Holidog Express. Keeping with the Fourth of July theme, there is also a monument with several American flags located right across from The Alamo restaurant in the center of the section.
Rides:
Eagles Flight
Rough Riders
Lewis & Clark Trail
Tippecanoes
Raging Rapids in Boulder Canyon
Liberty Launch
Revolution
Star Spangled Carousel
Holidog Express
Firecracker
Thanksgiving:
The Thanksgiving section is the newest section of the park, added in 2006 to commemorate Holiday World's 60th anniversary. The anchor attraction of this section is The Voyage which wraps around parts of the midway; guests walk under The Voyage 's brake run upon entering the section through Fourth of July. In the back of the Thanksgiving section is Thunderbird, the wing coaster, and a secondary entrance to Splashin' Safari. In addition to The Voyage and Thunderbird, the Thanksgiving section includes the second of the park's two air-conditioned restaurants: Plymouth Rock Café, which serves typical Thanksgiving food such as turkey, prime rib, stuffing, green beans and bread rolls. Turkeys can often be heard "gobbling" throughout the section as sounds emanate from the Gobbler Getaway ride and Pilgrims' Challenge game.
Rides:
The Voyage
Gobbler Getaway
Turkey Whirl
Mayflower
Thunderbird
Crow's Nest

Love that park. The free soda is really awesome, and I love the water park
So much fun for a small park. The free drinks is a very nice addition. The water coasters are some of the best in the world.
Free soda am I right?

Just went yesterday for the first time to that park. The roller coasters are all top notch. The Voyage is in my top 5 list of greatest of all time rides for all the parks I've visited throughout the years. Will be back to visit again soon.
Fantastic coasters for a small park. The Voyage is in my top 3 best wooden coasters. I'll return again in the future as well, thanks for sharing your experience.

Dumbass
@@feet-hs8oo shut tf up
@@LucasShrock that was over a year ago when I said that
I love Holiday World. Its my favorite park ive been too They have the best Wooden Roller Coaster collection out of any park ive been too. Also the atmosphere and operations are top notch really fast dispatches on the rides. Friendly ride ops and free soft drinks is just amazing. I love a small park like Holiday World they only have 4 coasters but I could ride those for coasters and never get bored. Quality over quanity
I had the best time at Holiday World. Definitely one of the Best wooden coasters I have ever been on. Wonderful staff too, I can see why people go back again.
I’m goin tommorow I’m super exited
I hope you have a great time 😀
Very enjoyable to be taken on a virtual tour of Holiday World. We’ll be visiting in a large group in June 2021 😀
That's a great place for a group get together. I'm glad you enjoyed my tour.
Tom's Road Trippin Great 😀 We are hoping to arrange an ERT session on The Voyage during our visit.
The Voyage is one of the best wood coasters I have been on.
Great video. Been watching for a review that went in the gift shops & eateries. Good job 👏
I try to show everything in my tours. Thank You for watching my tour 😊
Thank you for the tour
Thank You for watching

Going in June if everything goes good with Covid-19. I love the park its so fun I go every year!
I truly hope that things will be better by June. Hope you have a blast if your able to go.
@@TomsRoadTrippin Thank You! What was your favorite roller coaster there? Mine was ThunderBird and im too scared to ride Voyage im gonna try to face my fear
The Voyage was my favorite, I rode it multiple times. I did make the mistake of riding it in the rain, don't do that, it hurts 😝
@@TomsRoadTrippin I won't I bet it hurt because I rode the Legend and it was throwing me around and it hurt my hip really bad.
@@patricatt9002 Thank you bro!
I went their I went on every roller coaster (except the howler)
Very fun place 😃
Same
Not to brag but, I rode the howler. 😏😏😏
HOLIDAY WORLD IS SOOOOOO FUN U SHOULD GO OMG
It is extremely Fum 😃
the gp are everywhere this video is just an example
It's one of the top reasons I no longer film om rides, it got to be a real hassle. Now I just enjoy the rides 😀
Holiday world is the best theme park in my opinion
Very fun park
Would love to visit from the UK sometime, when I have the time money and hopefully someone to go with, so ermmmm not this year
I would love to visit the UK some day. But I'm in the same situation as you.... Some Day ☺
@@TomsRoadTrippin I think you've probably got the best of it that side of the pond to be honest, of course Europe does have some world class coasters tho
I really want to check out Alton Towers and Thorpe Park. What park would you recommend?
@@TomsRoadTrippin yes those and Blackpool pleasure beach, then some top European parks like Leisburg in Sweden and portaventure in Spain and phantasialand or Europe park in Germany I'd say after those 3 UK parks.
That would be a sweet vacation indeed. Thanks for the suggestions.
I live right by it
That's a great park to be able to visit often.
I'm going to holiday world this month!! can't wait to go back! a little scared though with covid:/
If your concerned wear a face covering. The good thing is your outside so unless your in the queue for a ride you should be able to socially distance. Have fun on your visit 😁
Cool
I really love this place, I really need to go back again.
I’m going in 10 days woohoo
Very Nice, I hope you have lots of fun 😀
Great video.
Thank You, this was a fun day despite the rainy beginning.
@@TomsRoadTrippin What is going to be the next zoo and aquarium?
Next Tuesday will be the St. Louis Zoo
Awesome can't wait.
Im buying a 2 day package are there extra costs on the rides or anything or do the tickets we buy to get in let us get on every ride? Are the drinks still free? Im from St. Louis where everything costs extra at theme parks and stuff 😬
Your entry ticket gives you access to all rides. Both Dry and Water park rides are included with admission. Drinks are free, not sure if they have any restrictions due to Covid-19. Check their website to be sure.
I’m going today with my friend been staying up all night tho lmao
Sweet, hope you have an awesome time 😁
I live not even 2 miles away from Holiday world and we have season passes to
Ong its always raining there even every time I go Lmao.
Yeah the rain was a pain, literally a pain. It was raining when I rode some of the coasters, it hit my eyes and hurt. Luckily it didn't rain all day and it turned out to be a fun day.
so holiday world is basically a theme park of carnival rides..
Carnival rides and a few awsome coasters. As this is a small park the carnival type rides are more noticeable. Most larger theme parks have the same type of rides too.
My one trip to holiday world it rained all day
That place must be a rain magnet. As you saw from my vid, it rained a lot that day too.
I went to holiday world on June 22 and now I’m going on a camping trip somewhere in 2 days and we went on the rapids like 5 times and my dad hates getting his clothes wet but he went twice
I rode the rapids ride 3 times in a row while it was raining 😃 Talk about getting wet. This is one of my favorite theme parks. Have fum on your camping trip.
does Halloween section open only in Halloween days ? Train ride still operating in park?
All sections of the park are open whenever Holliday World is open. There is a train ride in Holydog's Fun Town called Holidog Express. This is a fantastic theme park.
Omg I'm in the back ground
Your that famous background person I saw 😀
The Liberty Launch isn’t a drop tower, it shoots you up really fast, then lowers slowly
Thanks for the clarification
I'm going soon
Have fun 😃
i went to Holiday world yesterday
Very Nice 😃
Beach bend park in KY has free drinks and sun screen as well
Thanks, I wasn't aware of that.
Thanks for the video. It would have been nice if it wasn't raining when you were there. Sounds like it made the roller coaster rides worse.
I made the mistake of riding The Voyage coaster while it was raining. It hurt so much, like daggers hitting my eyes. I had to close my eyes for 75% of the ride. The rain luckily didn't last long and I was able to ride everything.
@@TomsRoadTrippin That's great that you got to ride everything. I'd imagine riding a motorcycle in the rain is a lot like that too. At least it didn't rain all day. Thanks a lot for the video and all the work you probably put into it !
Thanks Mike, the fact so many enjoy my vids makes it all worth it. This is of my favorite theme parks, not a huge property but everything they have is fantastic.
@@TomsRoadTrippin Yeah, it looks like a great amusement park. I like all the free stuff you said they have.
🎵Baby you’re a firework🎵
You can see them on the 4th of July 😆
Is the water park a separate admission? Or one price for both?
It's included with your admission to the park
Drove by in 2019 and it was closed for the season ☹️
That's a bummer, I hope you get the chance to go sometime.
I live bye holiday world
That's great, must be nice to visit the water park when it's 🔥 out 😃
im going for the first time next sunday! what dry ride is the best to start with and then whats the best water ride to start with?? =)
There are several options depending on what type of rides you enjoy. For coasters my favorite was The Voyage. For non-coaster dry ride I liked Liberty Launch. For water rides I liked Raging Rapids and at the Splashin' Safari you can't go wrong with Mammoth Water Coaster. Two different water coasters to choose from, the longest and 2nd longest in the world. Have Fun
@@TomsRoadTrippin the mammoth is amazing
@@TomsRoadTrippin Wildebeest has been my favorite ride since itopened!
i am so going there
Lots of fun packed into a small park
it’s super fun we go once a year
It’s a 37 minute drive for me
It was worth the drive for me
Ok
You are soooop much closer though 😉
Yep
Same I’m about 40 miles away
Im going tomarrow
Awesome, have a great time 😃
Free parking and drink? Nice..
Very few theme parks offer those perks to everyone. Really fun place to visit 😁
Looks a lot like Dollywood
To some extent, just much smaller. Still a fantasticly fun park.
You forgot we have free sunscreen too
Yeah I know, I wasn't really thinking about sunscreen that day with all rhe rain.
i live somewhere that it takes 10 hours to get there XD
Don't feel bad, I drove from Florida 😲
I live 40 miles away !
Fozzy made a music video for sane on the voyage
They have some awesome wooden coasters at that park.
I’m like less than a hour away like maybe 40 miles.
Don't they also offer free sunblock?
Yes they do 😀
We paid for the holiday world today and after an hour we had to leave because it was thunder storming
That's a shame, did you request a refund? There's nothing like a Summer thunderstorm to ruin a day outside.
Lake Compouce in CT has free drink stations. Just sayn’
Thanks for sharing, it's always good to jear of places that offer a great value.
It doesn't anymore
I love holiday world my mom gets free tickets every year so we go every year I am going with my softball team in 2 weeks
WoW free tickets is the way to go. I hope you all have a great time.
When you were looking at the voyage you said raven
I didn't realize I did, it was a long wet day. Thanks for watching ☺
I met you XD
Did you? Which part of Holiday World was it in?
Hahaha I work there
Very fun place to visit, hopefully it's a fun place to work.
They changed the fountain?!?!
As this was my 1st time there, I don't know what the fountain looked like before. So, if it looks changed from what you remember then I guess so. 😋
@@TomsRoadTrippin oh it was a hand(s) Sorry I didn't know they did I go there every year except the last one
Gotcha ☺
@@ericamorrow3439 It was hands last year when I went so I guess they changed it within the last 12 months.
Erica Morrow they changed it on the off season between 2018 and 2019. It was apart of the renovations. You can also see they changed Kringle’s Cafe to Santa’s Merry Marketplace. The whole inside of marketplace is different than Kringle’s was. The hands were from the applause award and they were moved to the outside of Human Resources and the employee parking lot.
If I'm a trillionair and I own this place I can make it way better than it already is. Free buffet. spin the wheel with 50 50 chance on landing on free entry. Free hotel stay. You decide what the entry fee would be. I can go on and on.😀
That would be very nice of you. I'd go again 😃
I work there at plymouth rock cafe in holiday world
Some very good food plus your right near the best coaster in the park.
Beyond Walt Disney Planet yeah I got blessed last year for to be sent there
i’m going there in 3 weeks, do you still work there
@@ballerbush1458 yeah
Same place aswell
Who's watching because of qurintened
I am😷
Can I meet u I’m in the campground
I am no longer at Holiday World. This was filmed more then three weeks ago. I hope your having a great time camping 😃
Thay have Free parking cuz u r about to spend a lot of money on stuff when I went we spent 200 dollars
Between food and souvenirs you have to set a budget anf stick to it. It's very easy to overspend if you don't.
@@TomsRoadTrippin now u tell me
