    Claire, The Thunderbird is awesome but this is nothing compared to my sleigh when the reindeer have had one too many cookies.

    I think starting off they are talking about how excited they are. Once it gets going he seems so happy and loves it but I believe she is terrified.

    He was probably trying to get her excited and shake away any nerves at the beginning. He might have even asked what she was wantin for Christmas! Then when They were on it He was making noises nd sound effects to make her laugh and almost forget what the nerves as she was having.

    You know sometimes after delivering Christmas presents the reindeer and I like to pretend we’re on a rollercoaster, we go up and down and do loopty loops. It’s really fun. We don’t tell Mrs. Claus of course, I don’t think she would approve. Please don’t tell Rudolph I rode a real rollercoaster, he get’s a little jealous. Here we go..HO HO HOOOOOO!

    I think Santa said he was jealous that his sleigh doesn’t fly as fast as Thunderbird!

    I want to take my grandchildren this year to Holiday World. My oldest loves the coasters & he wants to ride Thunderbird. I love the free sunscreen and free drinks. The park is always so clean and enjoyable. I like to watch them on the rides and then we go to the water park which is great.
