Also, the Thunderbird coaster is one of the best coasters I've ever been on. It's impressive to me that they offer free beverages (and you see people taking advantage of it) but not once did I go to a Pepsi station where the drinks had run out or even the ice and cups. The free drinks and sunscreen is nice and we had nothing but good experiences with the employees. Splashin' Safari had times where the lines were huge, but if you timed things right you didn't have to wait too long for some of the best slides/rides. We went on a Thursday and Friday and the lines were minimal at Holiday World. All rides were up and running the entire two days we were there. The name Holiday World makes you think it's going to be a rundown, low-rent joint, but definitely not the case. It's really well maintained and kept very clean. It's not huge and only has 4 roller coasters, but the water park is incredible and there is plenty to do in the amusement park. This park is really nice and a whole lot of fun. But definitely a good place to spend a full day. A new holiday area or a couple new coasters, particularly steel coasters, would really help round out the dry park’s ride selection if that was added the next few years. It’s been about 15 years since they have added the Thanksgiving section. They have offered pepsi can discounts for a while, not sure if they still do. So avoid weekends, both for this reason and because the crowds, which have ticked upward also in the 15 years I’ve been going. They have tickets that vary by price depending on the day you go. The admission pricing, as with most things in life, has increased steadily over the years. Thunderbird is over quick but a smooth and fun coaster. The wood coasters are generally good rides, if not occasionally temperamental on comfort factor depending where you sit or time of year, but that’s also wood coasters in general. The free drinks are welcomed, the food is usually above average quality for an amusement park, and the park is usually clean. The water coasters are a blast, but you’ll have to probably wait a while in line. Especially when it comes to Splashin’ Safari, a top notch waterpark. Other parks within relatively close distance, Six Flags STL/Kentucky Kingdom, pale in comparison. Been going to Holiday World bi/tri annually since 2004.
