Thank you for having such a wonderful amusement park.

Last Thursday, my wife, my 2 kids, my step daughter, and I went on our first family vacation to Holiday World and we all had a blast.

My kids are 7 and rode their first roller coaster, the Raven, and boy did they enjoy it!!! From the Raven to the Zinga to Bahari to Kima Bay it was sooo much fun.

We were kinda disappointed that the Pilgrims Plunge was closed. We had been hearing commercials and seeing billboards all the way on our 3 hour trip. Then when we got there and found it, we were kinda sad. But we still had a great time.

They loved seeing Santa and seeing the Holidog statue.

This is a place that lots of families should go. The admission price is reasonable for the stuff you get to enjoy. The free soft drinks really helped out (cause it got HOT!! ), and the friendly staff you have.

The food drive is very awesome cause it helped us out with the Holibucks (paid for our lunch) and will help lots of other families out, too. Honestly that was the longest line we had to stand in the whole day.

Again thank you very much for such a wonderful time (just wanted to ride the Pilgrims Plunge!! ). You all really are #1 for Family Fun!!!

Thanks for your time & see ya next year!!!

I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time my family had at the park!

I have to say, with six teens in our group, the Pepsi oasis were not only one of the best ideas we've ever heard of, but also took quite a chunk of the expense off of us! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

At home, we have Six Flags/Great America which charges for EVERYTHING! We've stopped going there because everything from admission to food is so outrageous! Definitely not worth the expense!

But Holiday World........well! What a difference! Not just from a monetary standpoint either! The Pilgrim's Plunge and The Voyage were, by far, the best rides my kids have ever ridden! You've got a couple real winners there!

We found you on the Travel Channel--"best wooden roller coasters" was the topic. But we were completely unprepared for the park itself! We had a BLAST!

I would also like to compliment your employees. Everyone was so helpful and polite. Again, something we (sadly) are NOT used to at home! Smiles abounded and more then once someone overheard us in need of direction or assistance......they were more than happy to help! What a wonderful job they do! They set an example for sure!

To close, I would just like to say another big THANK YOU! Your employees and the park itself impressed us so much, and we had such a great time, we will DEFINITELY return!

Have a wonderful season!

We visited Holiday World yesterday and we ate lunch at Kringle's Kafé. We were so very impressed and happy to find that our daughter, who has many food allergies, was able to eat a full meal from your restaurant. I would just like to express my appreciation for your efforts in this area, she was so excited to be able to order a meal like everyone else.

Also we were impressed with how clean the entire park was.

We will be back!

Thank you,

I visited Holiday World on Thursday June 18, 2009, and I had the GREATEST time ever.

I have a child that is 10 years old and he has special needs, I also have a set of twins that are 6 years old. They had a wonderful time on the rides, the employees were really friendly, and the park was the cleanest I've ever seen.

There was a particular employee that day, she was a really nice girl, she interacted with the kids and talked to them about Holiday World. She was keeping the Christmas area very clean and her name was Kayla, I don't know her last name but she was really nice to the children. She made them feel comfortable to get on the rides and that made my day a lot easier because at first they wouldn't ride anything.

I just want the Holiday World family to know how much I have bragged about the park. I have been to so many parks all over and I keep coming back to my favorite one, Holiday World.

I've never been to such a clean and welcoming park. I look forward every year to spend as much time as possible at the park.

My grandkids are also hooked on it. It is one the most kid friendly parks and also adult friendly, it is everything anyone could ever expect in a great amusement park.

No one offers the perks that you do or is as much fun as you are.

I LOVE this park and I am your biggest advocate! People have gone that's never gone before because I've talked them into it and they come back absolutely sold on the place.

You are an oasis of fun and freshness and a wonderful place to get away from all that is going on in this world these days.

Keep up the wonderful work that you are doing.

See you in July!!

I visited Holiday World on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, and I want to make a few comments that truly need to be made. As someone who teaches high school and managed restaurants at Opryland Theme Park throughout high school and college, I was very observant.

At the Goblin Burger, I was impressed by Rachel. Before I could sit down, she hurried over to squeegee the table and bench. This young lady was very thorough and very much on a mission.

At the Sweet Shop, there wasn’t a line; Nathan was extremely pleasant. He told me to take my time deciding and even offered to recite the menu—good kid. I think I could probably go on about several other things.

I chuckled to myself when I saw a group of people rush up to have their pictures made with Pat at the park’s opening. I don’t think Pat realizes that she is starting to acquire the status of Mickey Mouse. Perhaps, that’s what makes her so endearing. She’s the down-to-earth super grandma everyone wants.

Not too long ago we showed up and had to stand in line for 45 minutes because the computers were down. I’ll be honest. We actually started to leave with a vow of never returning on that particular day, but life got better after we got over that hurdle.

In short, if you could let Rachel and Nathan know they are valued and appreciated, I would appreciate this.

I don’t know if Pat wants to be called “super grandma”.

My family visited the park on Monday, June 15.

We are the parents of 4 year old twins, one of which has never sat on Santa's lap without screaming or crying involved.

We saw Santa throughout the day in various locations and on each visit he got her a little closer to him.

Finally at the end of our day in the gift shop we once again saw Santa.

We now have some of the best pictures of our children with him.

This Santa is by far the best Santa we have ever had the pleasure of meeting and wanted to let someone know what a perfect Santa you have interacting with children at your park.

Thank you for the wonderful day!!!

Just wanted to thank Holiday World for a wonderful mini vacation!!! My wife, 7-yr old twins and in-laws had a spectacular time at the parks over the weekend.

Your service is unmatched in the hospitality industry....from Pat Koch welcoming us at the front to the workers throughout who ask how we are enjoying our stay and if they could do anything to make the visit better.

When I left the park, I grabbed plenty of brochures.....and I'll be "selling" the features of Holiday World, Lake Rudolph and Santa Claus, IN!!!!!

Again, thanks for a great time and we will definitely see you again next year!!!!

I recently visited your park for the first time and I have nothing but GREAT comments to say about your park! I traveled from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to visit for my first time along with a friend.

Over the years I’ve heard lots of positive remarks about the park and have always wanted to visit this family park that cares so much about their employees and guests.

The FREE parking and FREE soft drinks were appreciated!

All of the rides in the park were a lot of fun and looked maintained. Speaking of rides, all of the team members did a fantastic job in operating the rides, especially the Voyage crew. Everyone was quick and courteous!

The lockers that were provided on the coasters and Pilgrim’s Plunge is a great idea! I was hesitant to leave my belongings behind on a shelf, but after I was explained about the usage of the locker from, I believe a Supervisor on Voyage, I felt more at ease to leave my belongings behind and not have to worry. I was again amazed that the usage of the lockers was FREE!

Food service in the park was top-notch and affordable! I was able to buy a quality combo meal for under $6 bucks! The Thanksgiving Café was also affordable and tasty! The food service team members were also courteous and professional.

Lastly, what blew me away more than anything else about your park is the fact that an OWNER of the park GREETED guests/myself as we entered the park. That is simply unheard of!

I’d just like to say Thanks for making my first visit a rewarding one. My only complaint is I wish the park was closer so I could purchase a season pass. I’ll be sure to spread around the greatness of Holiday World! This is truly a place where I want to visit each summer.

I just want to thank all of the staff at Holiday World. I brought my swim team down this weekend for a swim meet and we stayed an extra night so that we could come and spend the day at the park.

This was my first time coming to the park and I was amazed at the fact that not once did I see a piece of trash on the ground. Every employee I encountered from purchasing our tickets, the employees working the rides and in the restaurants, were all so friendly.

It was nice to see the owner welcoming people as they came in. We even saw her sweeping the floor in one of the restaurants.

There was an incident in the park and I have to tell you I have never seen such quick response time as a gal got her knee stuck on one of the fences.

Just amazing, we are already trying to figure out when we can make it back this summer. It was truly an amazing day for all of us so thank you for making it a memorable weekend and look forward to getting back soon.

I just wanted to commend you on your excellent park and staff. This was my family's first visit to Holiday World and we were thoroughly impressed.

You have enough rides to thrill all ages, yet the park is small and friendly. Everything was exceptionally clean all day long. The prices on the food are very reasonable and offering free drinks is a big plus with a family of 5!

Everyone went away feeling happy and satisfied!

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We even had a staff member come over to us when we were sitting on a bench resting and ask us if we were enjoying our day.

I would highly recommend this park to everyone!

I just wanted to let you know that I visited your park yesterday for the first time and wanted to comment on how clean the park is and give you a kudos on that.

Not only that but it is reasonably priced and it has some of the best rides that I have ridden. The Voyage and Pilgrims Plunge are awesome!!!

Not only that but the park is really laid back and the staff is really friendly...

Keep up the great work!!!
