This was one of the first theme parks in the United States, and it's got some great rides. The Raven, classed as one of the top ten coasters in the country, incorporates some of the best features from other leading wooden coasters. You'll find a great forest setting and lots of sharp twists and turns. Other great thrill rides include the free-falling Banshee, the Firecracker, and the Frightful Falls log flume ride. A Frontier Farm and Indiana's only wax museum can also be found here.
Holidog's FunTown, opening May 6, 2000, is a three-acre complex filled with family-inclusive rides and attractions. Everything in Holidog's FunTown is designed to allow families to play together-rather than just watch their kids have fun, Mom and Dad can participate themselves! Holidog's FunTown will include the following attractions:
New This Year: The Legend will be Holiday World's second wooden roller coaster to be located in the Halloween section of the park. The theme of The Legend will be The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, as riders race through the woods as if chased in terror by the relentless Headless Horseman. The Legend will consist of four rides through tunnels-including an underground tunnel, a series of dramatic drops-including a spiral drop, a double helix, and multiple crossovers with existing rides in Holiday World & Splashin' Safari. The ride is through thickly wooded, hilly terrain. : 4,042 feet. The most dramatic drops on The Legend will measure 113 feet, 77 feet, and 64 feet. The 77-foot drop will feature a rare spiral drop.
