Respect, friendliness and kindness

We just left Holiday World, this was our 12th year, and I reflect on why we go there and why we have so much fun.

Of course it really is the #1 place for family fun. But, why? The rides are awesome, but what else?

I think I know. It is because it is one of the few places where you can go that you can expect respect, friendliness, and kindness. This is a place where you can expect NO foul language and disgusting behavior. It is like when everyone steps through the gates, everyone knows that they are supposed to behave.

This is the only place where I know of that people make an effort to pick up their trash, and everyone walks around with a smile on their faces. And, even parents are running to get to a ride before it starts up without feeling foolish!

It is refreshing to see a place where, in this jaded world, there is values, moral values. And, I believe that deep down inside, people really want this. And, you provide this.

So, I hope, in the future, when we enter our 20th year to Holiday World, that this never changes. Because, while you have fantastic rides, in this sometimes scary world, people know that they can still have one place where they can go and truly enjoy themselves, and really relax and know they can be treated with the dignity that
they deserve.

Thank you, and God Bless.
