Congratulations to Nathan F. from Atlanta, Georgia, who both provided the correct answer and provided the link to the page on our website with our Downton Abbey-esque photo faux pas.
You see, a few weeks ago, Downton Abbey released some publicity photos and one in particular quickly hit the “bloopers” circuit, because a modern prop was included:
Do you see the water bottle on the mantel? Oops.
And so, while updating the information on our website’s Happy Halloween Weekends page, this photo was oddly familiar:
Oh, my. Time to crop that photo – but we had to poke a little fun at ourselves first.
Thanks to all who entered – and congratulations to Nathan, who receives two one-day tickets for this season.

Michelle Dockery who stars in the TV show “Downtown Abbey” just posted a video of herself taking the ice bucket challenge. I asked myself, where do people get drenched everyday by hundreds of gallons of cool water? Splash and Safari! Monsoon Lagoon would be a perfect spot for a massive Ice Bucket Challenge.
If I watched much TV I might figure it out. I won’t bother.
That you always see a water bottle?
Simply put, Holiday World is like Downtown Abbey because it covers various events and time periods throughout history.

You are like Dowtown Abbey because you have received numerous accolades for your park just like they have for their show. Figured out under in Why Holiday World? On your website.
Found it on rides and slides. The two are alike because they are themed from different times in history.
Both are a family owned and operated business
Holiday World is like Downtown Abbey because it covers variuos events and time periods throughout history.
Holiday world is like a family tradition,for years and years we bring our family there and they pass their memories to their kids and take them there.

Downtown abbey and holiday world are similar because the publicity pictures of both include a modern prop at the background(plastic bottle) which just does not fit into the theme & Is not at all required to be there
