I just had to take the time to write and I find that I should have written a long time ago.

I have been to a lot of amusement parks and I can tell you first-hand that none compare to yours.

I am from St. Louis and drive at least 4-5 times a year in the summer to visit your park.

The park is always clean with a top-of-the-line friendly staff and reasonable prices. That all really counts in times like these. You offer free drinks all day long - that's half the cost of a day at the park, especially those hot ones. Sun screen at no cost.

Six Flags, St. Louis - this is what they have to offer - $15.00 parking, $39+ for a one-day ticket, $13.00 lunches, $13.00 souvenir cup and free refills the day of purchase and if you bring it back during the season, it's .99 cents a refill. $7.99-$9.99 for a funnel cake, $3.99 for a bottle of water; no drinking fountains, $13.00 locker rentals with no deposit return. Some rides do not allow you to take anything on the ride and they try to force you to rent a temporary locker for $2.00 for two hours max. They have no "cubbies" to store anything that you may be carrying. It is absolutely ridiculous.

I will not return to Six Flags as their prices are outrageous and it's a wonder they are still in business.

Please do not change the way that you run your parks. They are so family-friendly and so reasonably priced. With the economy today, you actually have an affordable great time.

I will continue to visit your park which is 3-1/2 hours away, as opposed to Six Fags which is less than an hour away.

I follow the quality. And your park is definitely filled with quality staff, cleanliness, facilities, pricing, rides, a water park, shows, meals, - need I go on? Just can't say enough.

I want to commend you on a job well done and for family time spent that is so precious to me.

See you soon!!

Oh, and you also have two girls that work there - Rachel and Ona (I think the spelling's right). They are absolutely wonderful and you should be so proud to have them as a part of your staff team. They don't come like that anymore, that's for sure! Please give them an "atta-girl" for us. Make sure you take care of those dedicated employees - they are few and far between!

Holiday World, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

Thanks for the memories!!!

Just wanted to let you know what a fantastic time we had at Holiday World on Saturday, May 24.

My five year old daughter had a blast and can't wait to visit again. She really loved the HoliDazzles Show.

My husband and I really enjoyed the show as well and loved the interaction between the cast and the kids.

Your staff was especially polite and it was very nice that we didn't have to put up with "attitude" from anyone.

Thank you again for making our visit so very enjoyable.

As usual, we had a great time on our annual trip to Holiday World & Splashin' Safari.

We mailed the comment card from Dale but just had to email anyway.

On the way out of the park on Friday, I finally bought the book on the history of the park. It was truly fascinating, and a lovely piece of history for the Koch family, the community and fans everywhere. We can't wait to return to look at the buildings and rides from a different perspective. Thank you for preserving the past while forging ahead for future generations!

Our family also attended the concert with Suzy Bogguss and The Marlins on Saturday at the State Park. Our heartfelt thanks for helping sponsor the concert. It was a wonderful event. Your generousity is greatly appreciated!

My family and I visited Holiday World on Wednesday, May 21st.

We immediately got phone find bracelets for our two boys and took pictures of them, (so that in case they got lost we would have a picture of what they were wearing).

We set off and were having a great day.

I was sitting in the Holidog's Play area getting intermittent glances at my boys going through tunnels and down slides when I got a cell phone call from Craig Koenig, telling me that he had my son by the carousel. I didn't even know he was gone! Thank goodness for Lindsey (Employee of the Week), who was walking through the park and happened to notice that my son seemed too young to be on his own and had "that look". She quickly contacted Craig Koenig and he called me. They kept Carter calm until I got to him, and calmed me down once I got there.

Needless to say, no parent ever wants to experience this kind of trauma, but I have nothing but the highest praise for the way your staff is obviously trained to handle these situations. We have always been so impressed with the park's friendly staff, but they really went over and above in this case.

My husband and I have been singing your praises for years, but now we'll be singing louder.

Many sincere thanks!

I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate that you provide a room for nursing mothers.

We visited your park last summer with a six week old baby and were able to have a great time because of the accommodations that were available to us.

We plan to visit every summer and we always tell people that Holiday World is the best place to go for summer fun.

Keep up the good work, and we will see you soon!

Hey there!

This is Cody K. I usually email you every year after my band trip to Holiday World. I got back from our trip on Saturday. It was a blast!

However, I got sunburned (again). The sad thing is that you all give out free sunscreen. LOL I did put a little on my upper back because that’s where I'm usually burned the worst and that's the only place that didn't get burned. HA! PROOF that Splashin’ Safari's sunscreen works.

I like the improvements to the park. Kima Bay will be most enjoyed by the little ones. I thought the Carousel was a good addition, except that the bumper boats were removed.

I have always been a chicken when it comes to roller coasters. The Raven was my first roller coaster ride when I was like 7, but I couldn't remember anything about it. So when I finally mustered up the courage to ride it again on this trip, I absolutely loved it. However, it was too late to go back and ride The Legend. But I definitely will ride it when I go with my family and who knows maybe I will ride the Voyage. (It’s still kinda big for me. LOL)

I hope I didn't discover some super secret about Holiday World but it seems that you all come out with a new roller coaster roughly every 5 years:

The Raven-1995
The Legend-2000
The Voyage-2006

So have you all gotten any ideas for a new coaster? Promise I won't tell anyone. And, what sort of ideas have you all thought of for 2009?

So, anyway, it was good emailing you again and I can't for the summer when I will visit again.
