If you don’t live within about a three-hour radius of Santa Claus, Indiana, chances are you’ve never seen our television commercials.

So here is our newest, fresh out of the edit suite and airing beginning today:

Thanks to all of our extras who rode Thunderbird over and over … wait – maybe they should be thanking us! It was a fun couple of days – we hope you enjoy the spot.

    Finally a commercial we can watch! The ads for Holiday World have been embarrassing, to say the least! PLEASE no longer show the butter turning ad! It is awful! You need happier, fun filled, exciting commercials, not the type to put one to sleep and hope it doesn’t cause a nightmare!!

      I disagree. I prefer the scary, dark, demonic-voiced commercials that make the rides seem like truly adult, scary rides, not like little trains that 10-year-old girls ride with granny.

    We have been coming to Santa Clause Land, Indiana since the sixties and have watched it grow into our favorite amusement park! It’s immaculate, staff is very friendly, and the rides are well maintained and shows are amazing! Food is a bit pricey. But free sunscreen, sodas, and parking make up for it.

    I have been going to holiday world since it was Santa Claus Land and I was in high school. I even worked there for a summer. I love the park and the new additions are a great touch. The Koch family really knows how to satisfy. The Thunderbird is the BEST EVER coaster ride. I loved it, and I’m coming this summer again with my children.

    My older boys would love this…my teenage self would have, unfortunately my 37 year old self is telling me I’m crazy. All in all, this would be a great family vacation spot for all 6 of us.

    I love the Thunderbird, I rode it one time scared to death and then next thing you know I’m leaving the park, rode it 6 times! I LOVE THIS RIDE! It’s my favorite next to the mammoth!!! I’m going this year on 24 of May for the end of school and I’m hopefully gonna ride every ride! I’ve rode all the roller coasters exept for the legend because we had to leave, but the rides aren’t scary at all and holiday world is the best place to go if you want some summer fun with the holidog, and santa?! There are amazing sights when you ride the roller coasters, I am very dramatic and scream my lungs off, but it’s so much fun! I love the water park and I love the dry rides! I love the hollow swings because it feels like I’m flying, same with the thunderbird! I can now finally say I rode the #1 wing roller coaster in the world knowing that I’m so scared of everything?! I totally recommend holiday world because it’s the bomb and absolutely an amazing theme park??!!
