Whose interested? It's my first event back since 2008 and I want to go with some good friends. It's the first weekend of June this year, anyone down?
-
I will see you there. :)
-
You flying out or driving?
-
do you know the dates Matt, I'll request off now. I don't want to miss this years.
-
"plan on joining your fellow coaster enthusiasts for HoliWood Nights 2012 on June 1 and 2!"
-
2013 is looking more like my return. Hopefully the voyage is correct by then.

-
I'm not missing it either.
-
Damn...its a Friday? I will have to see how many vacation days I have at that point. Have some other trips planned already
-
It's ALWAYS on a Friday (and Saturday).
-
Most likely not for me but I guess there is still a chance.
-
Do it Wade!
-
I hope to be there.
-
I hope to not share a room with you, T-Rex. ;)
-
So, I was thinking of either adding on SFStl, Indiana Beach, or Kings Island. Any recommendations?
-
I'm not going to any of them, but don't let that stop you. All three are good options depending on where you fly into.
-
I want to add on Worlds of Fun.
-
That's too far.
-
I'd recommend NOT going to KI :)
-
Don't listen to Rob Kings Island is one of the best megaparks around.
-
Yeah I know unfortunately. I would like to get back to Kings Island, I still have two more credits to get there, plus they have Flight Deck =)
-
spare me the trouble. Holiday World delayed until college, still my top priority though.
-
"What you gonna ride?"
HWN 2012 Flyer (http://www.holidayworld.com/sites/holidayworld.com/files/hwnflyer2012.pdf)
-
"Who ya gonna call?"
"COAST BUSTERS!!!"
-
2013............ more than half way there from my 2010 visit.
-
I have no plans to go to HWN this year but looks like it will be PTC's again for 2012.
"The new Timberliner trains for The Voyage will not be delivered
to us in time for pre-opening testing this spring. Unfortunately,
that means we will have to wait until the fall for testing. It is
our intent to fully test the new trains and have them on the track
for the 2013 season."
Not that we haven't heard that before.
-
Old news and it makes me happy. With the re-tracking, The Voyage should be back to 2006 form, minus the changes of course.
Oh and I will be there this year!
-
We would be more surprised if you weren't at HWN.
After riding the Wooden Warrior (Don't worry about that front row, its fine)...The Voyage + Timberliner sounds like a frightening combination.
-
I am curious to what changes were made to the elements they retracked. Did they take out that reversed banked bunny hop right before the first 90 degree bank?
-
Ken, I didn't go one year, because I was pissed at the park for the way they treated people the year before, but they got the message (a lot of people were upset) and have backed off on the gestapo treatment.
Yes, Shoe. The section of track between the 180 degree diving turnaround and the first 90 degree bank has been completely reworked into a long bunny hill.
-
Ken I think you might be worrying about the lap bar too much. There is a difference between how the staff operates at holiday world compared to quassy.
It's been mentioned before but lets get a re-vote.
Timberliners, or flying turns?
-
What me worry? Never.
I'm going to have to vote for Flying Turns.
-
I think flying turns is never... sorry matt.
Timberliners... I wouldn't rule out never. But I think next year. But who knows.
-
Yes, Shoe. The section of track between the 180 degree diving turnaround and the first 90 degree bank has been completely reworked into a long bunny hill.
Have you seen pictures of the reworked section?
-
I think there was pictures on coaster buzz.

-
Interesting that they specified in the comments section that the timberliners would begin testing again this spring.
-
That was the intent, but a few weeks ago they announced the new trains wouldn't arrive in time and they'd have to wait until after daily operation ceases in the fall.
-
Holiday World posted a few pictures and a short video clip that includes the retracked section in the spaghetti bowl.

I'M GOING
-
Got the new job? Congratulations
Regrettably I still have to skip this year.
-
Not yet, but I worked it out to where I can go either way.
-
I can't wait till HWN's... So I can start my one year countdown to go next year.
-
One More week! Or, if you're in Canada, 1 week and 1 year!
-
Time slows down as you approach the speed of... Canada, eh?
-
*like button*
-
Oh wow just realized today is the day. Have a great time everyone. Deffinatly watch out for fang. Someone eat a pulled pork sandwich for me.
Do you think next year it will fall on May 31st, and June 1st? Or will it get pushed back to June 7, and 8? Just so I can book my time off ASAP.
-
The 2013 dates should be announced any day now if they haven't been already.
