Frightful Falls was the first new ride added to Holiday World in 1984 when the park’s name was changed from Santa Claus Land. For all these years this log flume has thrilled and soaked countless riders with a spooky start through a tunnel, a graveyard tour, then up the big hill for a soaking splash below.

Since the year 2000, The Legend’s lift hill crosses over Frightful Falls’ drop. Plunge into more stories, videos, and photos about the Frightful Falls here on our HoliBlog.
