"Far beyond my expectations"

My family and I just returned from Holiday World, our second trip there in three or so years. I periodically check the website. When I saw the announcement about The Voyage so many months ago, I knew I would be back to your park. I faithfully watched the progress of The Voyage almost every day and watched the animation. When the actual video was released, anticipation was really there. Visited the park on 31 May and 1 June.

The Voyage was far beyond my expectations. I have been on many coasters, but The Voyage is definitely my all-time favorite.

About the Voyage, my son really enjoyed the Beast at Kings Island. His words were, "Good-bye, Beast!"

I thought as I sat at Splashin' Safari, if I see Will Koch I am going to tell this guy how awesome his new toy is. I'm talking to my wife, and who do I see hurrying by, Will Koch himself. Please let him know that I apologize if I startled him when I yelled "HEY, WILL!" I'm the guy from northern Kentucky. He'll remember me. I told my kids that I met him, and they were amazed.

Later in the day they were both thrilled to get to meet Mr. Koch also. Then on day two when the big storm blew through, everybody heads to Kringle's Kafe. The place was as busy as ever, and who do we see helping out ... Mrs. Koch.

This trip was more than complete. Your park is the best. Staff is awesome, the park is spotless. Free parking, free sodas, and wow, free ponchos. The big-league themers need some lessons from your awesome park. Thanks for a great time.

We will be return patrons to your park.

Never change your ways. I am a customer service supervisor...yours is excellent. My wife said to me, "Why is everyone here so nice?" My reply, "Good management trickles down."

See you next year.
