Get Ready to Ride!

There's no doubt the Bakuli (pronounced bah-COOL-ee) is going to be cool! The new seven-story water slide is part of a $4.5 million expansion project for Holiday World & Splashin' Safari's 2007 season.

Holiday World President Will Koch held a press conference Wednesday to outline the park's new projects.

Bakuli is the Swahili word for "bowl" and that is exactly where this ride takes you......swirling round and round in a huge, colorful bowl! Start seven stories up and climb into a four-person cloverleaf raft. You'll be launched into a very dark, very steep tunnel that's full of surprises.

You know how The Voyage has three 90-degree curves? So does Bakuli! And you know how Zinga flings you into a huge funnel? Bakuli drops you into a gigantic purple, green and yellow bowl that measures 60 feet across!

Other new projects include the Turkey Whirl and Plymouth Rock Cafe, which will be added to the park's Thanksgiving Section.
