Chad stuck with us for Episode 13 where we share feedback from our HoWoPo fans, Josh made his on-air debut,  AND we rolled out a new game!

Enjoy Season 2, Episode 13 almost anywhere podcasts are found!

 Josh is our Digital Communications Strategist and he came prepared to squeak in with his pup’s toy for our game, Underrated or Overrated. (Shhh…don’t tell Luna!)

Although this is his on-air debut, Josh plays a big role in making the podcast happen! 

We jumped into feedback with Lindsay T’s great question!
Please comment below if you have a name for yourselves!

Holiwood kNight’s came up, reminding us that 2020 has really smelled of elderberries.
Soon we’ll have a fresh date and our quest will be back on course!
Until then, Coaster101.com helped us estimate the airspeed velocity of an unladen 

We enlightened Chad about the LIFE ALTERING magic of the Snipping Tool. 

A Dole Whip War was started, but we could all agree that we can’t wait until this kid gets to try our coasters and Dole Whip!

In a previous episode, we’d asked HoWoPo faithful David for pictures of Kevin.
This cuteness couldn’t be described on air, so we’re glad we could share it here:

We’ll be here for Holiwood Nights, Scottcro1980! We hope to see you there on its new date.

Special thank you to Chad for joining us for three episodes!
We had a blast recording with you and can’t wait to have you back soon!

We always say that theme parks get in your blood–once you’ve joined this industry, it’s hard to picture yourself doing anything else. So while we’ve been working from home we’ve had to get creative to keep our hustle alive under quarantine. We hope you enjoy these fun photo’s of our team doing what we love- home edition:

To kick things off, Audrey from Sales is sticking to local calls these days while encouraging her budding artists.

Madeline from Food & Beverage is staying safe and honing her skills in the kitchen. Pretzels are, after all, one of the five main theme park food groups. 

What are the five main theme park food groups, you ask? Free Unlimited Soft Drinks, Pretzels, Pizzas, Deep Fried Foods–including funnel cakes, Oreos, and this year avocado, and Ice Cream (including Udderly Blue, Dippin’ Dots, and all those Festive Flurries we love.* 

Michael from Games is keeping his skills strong, with assistance from his little man! 

Cathy from Park Services may not be able to prep the midways for the season right now, but she’s keeping her debris-blowing form strong as she beautifies her own backyard paradise.

Lori handles all the lockers and rentals in the park–including our Holidog Inn Kennels. Looks like her pup is ready for Lori to take her Innkeeper skills back to Holiday World.

Casey from I.T. is preparing the next generation with lessons on wiring: 

Casey is also making sure the Cambron household knows there is a way to install register paper and there is a way to install toilet paper and they are NOT the same. Any guesses? Post them below!!

Sabrina from Communications is having a ruff time getting a decent interview during the quarantine.

Somehow even when he’s home, Kenny from I.T. can’t seem to avoid a Blue Screen of Death… Hope his kiddos didn’t lose any important files!

Aaron from Maintenance and Construction doesn’t have time for much silliness–he’s creating our schedules to get attractions ready as soon as possible once we’re back!

Vanessa from Merchandise can’t help but teach her dapper team members how to arrange their home items. 

Dave from Sales is keeping his skills strong–and trying to arrange a picnic or a group outing to the Holidog Inn.

Josh from Communications has been helping create our puzzles at our Digital FunTown, but he’s also testing the product these days!

Bryan from Sales has set up shop in his kitchen! We think his home market has already been saturated. 

Quarantine has Amy from our Warehouse organizing and managing her own supplies. And keeping that safe distance from the ceiling! 

Ashley can’t help but market the newest attraction in her own backyard.

Santa may be up at the North Pole waiting for a safe journey here, but Amanda from Entertainment is ready to step in as an elf now!

Samantha from Cash Control has found a way to keep her skills sharp. If she can’t be at a theme park, why not Park Place? 

And finally Leah Koch can’t help but keep Christmas alive… and kick off her own tiny amusement park with a carousel. 

*Just kidding about theme park food–we don’t forget about how important fruits, veggies, and non-soda beverages (such as water) are. Balance is always important. Even at theme parks. 

Clearly we’re all in missing Holiday World the same way you are. Stay safe, healthy, and sane, and we hope to see you soon!
