The director of our local visitors bureau told me this story:

My sister and brother-in-law came to visit Holiday World over the weekend and brought their best friends, Michael and Kelly, who were coming to Santa Claus for the first time.

Michael told me recently that he loved roller coasters so much, he'd ride one to work every day if he could! And asked if I got to ride a roller coaster to work every day, since I live so close to Holiday World. I responded, "Unfortunately no. I just drive a car."

Needless to say, he was looking forward to the visit!

After getting off The Voyage, he turned and headed back toward the front gate of the park. My sister stopped him and asked where he was going. "I have to go back to the gate and pay them more money," he said. "They didn't charge me enough for this. That was awesome!"

Michael also was impressed with the food prices. He couldn't believe that for about $25 they got a large pizza and fries for everyone.

He assured me, they'd definitely be back to visit again soon!
