Lincoln Vs. Santa

In Spencer County, we have some pretty big egos to deal with. But we try our best to promote both Abraham Lincoln and Santa Claus equally. This unique situation recently caught the attention of the telivision world. Comedy Central's Colbert Report recently interviewed Holiday World President Will Koch and local lincoln scholar Jerry Sanders. In addition, the crew came out from Spencer County to film our unique landmarks and a handful of local residents. Check back on the blog to see when the show will air.

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.
