Post by: Millennium Force 44 on June 08, 2011, 11:26:01 AM
Hello everyone! I am going to use this thread to share some pictures that I took this past weekend at Holiwood Nights. I hope you enjoy them!

1st Stop of the Trip- Kentucky Action Park to ride the alpine slide

This was the first alpine slide I have ever been on... It was awesome!

CURVY!

2nd Stop- Beech Bend

The reason we are here- Kentucky Rumbler. This coaster was really awesome!

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2463/5803899662_17e5025185.jpg)
The layout is filled with a bunch of little bunny hills like this one. It is such a fun coaster.

Kentucky Rumbler really impressed me.

Kentucky Rumbler is the perfect coaster for this little park.

Dorney Park needs one of these =)

I didn't take pictures of the rest of the park, but some of the other rides that we rode include an awesome dark ride with the most graphic props you will ever find, the evil Scat 2, a really brutal kiddie coaster, an awesome little drop tower, and a really intense swing ride that is only about 10 feet off the ground at full speed.

Totally agree!  Wish they were getting that instead of the waste-of-space Invertigo!

lol Bubba I didn't get to that update yet. And I agree about Invertigo, it is a big waste of time, space, and money.

I really want to try The sled. It seems so fun. I saw it on that TV show one time. Seems like you had a good trip!

I know it is very late, but here are the pictures I took while we were at Holiday World. They are basically of just The Voyage because I had gotten pictures of the rest of the park the previous year. Enjoy!

one of my favorite parts of the ride

Sorry Pilgrim's Plunge, just because you are tall does not mean you have any competition over The Voyage.

this picture pretty much shows how ridiculous this coaster is

(http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/284251_10150373926808238_776683237_10424965_3916609_n.jpg)
there is actually a lot of airtime on the first couple of big hills

who doesn't love pictures of the first drop?
