First, we are from the St. Louis area, we are accustomed to a Six Flags/Branson experience.

This was nothing like any of those.

We LOVED camping at Lake Rudolph and have already signed up for the Halloweekend.

The shuttle ride to the park was very handy.

Upon entering the park, we already knew our layout thanks to the website and the park maps explaining where to go to avoid the crowds, it worked like a charm.

We had sat through a show at a different park with Looney Tunes characters in a Chevy Asto van. It was like a commercial that we gave up precious park time to sit through.

It was great to receive FREE refreshments instead. (We've bought Pepsi products all weekend long in appreciation.)

Second, We were at another location where the teens were there only for a paycheck, not because they wanted to be....we tried to understand, thinking that we were probably like that when we were young...

Instead at Holiday World every park attendant told us to have a great day when the ride was over....What a pleasant suprise.

The cleanliness was amazing. We never found a full trash can, or saw flies or even caught an odd whiff.

Another nice suprise was how well manned everything was, even in Holidog, we were suprised to find attendants up in the towers. It was nice to find someone looking after the children to see they were safe.

This doesn't even begin to touch on how amazing the water park was and how exciting the rides were.

Thank you for a wonderful vacation.
