While the camera is focused on the greatest wooden coaster on earth "Probably my favorite ride here..." camera pans to "Gobbler Getaway" haha!

We used to go to Holiday World every year for my birthday when I was growing up. It's one of my favorite amusement parks ever. It's awesome to see a video about it from you!

What a nice park. I like they kept older style rides, I especially like the antique cars. The “turkey callers” on the dark ride cracked me up. Thanks for giving a history of the park, it was interesting and really adds to the enjoyment of the video.

That granny in the dark ride must be broke. I remember riding it either the first or second season after it opened and she would give a short spiel on the history of the turkey chase.

If kids send their letters to Santa Claus, a lot of them end up in Santa Claus, Indiana. So they have volunteers write and respond to their letters. I think it's super sweet.

“I think that one’s about murder” lol

I miss when my family used to go to Holiday World! I remember riding the Thanksgiving dark ride with my dad after he had stent surgery…he was horrified and I was half expecting him to have a heart attack when the turkeys popped up 😂 he was fine though, thankfully. (I think the “malfunctions” are due to another ride vehicle already being in the scene, so it makes you wait at the door to give the scene time to reset!) I loved the glass blowing shop in Holiday World, too! And my dad winning me a teddy bear from a clearly rigged game, making the kid running it very, very unhappy 😂♥️ I’d love to go back again. Lots of great times.

Love the simplicity of this place. Not everywhere has to be SUPER animitronic to be cool.

Imagine my surprise when I saw myself and friends in this video! Thanks for visiting my local park, we love it! Family run, they have free parking, free drinks, and free sunscreen. And for their 75th anniversary this year, season pass renewals at one time we’re only $75.

Holiday world, what a great idea. Making a cool opportunity for all National holidays. Very nice visually, clean, friendly for kids of all ages. Really enjoyed following you on this one Jacob. Thanks for taking us along.

Wonderful as always ❤️ I loved how on the carousel dolphin human hands had worn away the paint presumably by patting its head over many years 😍

I live just east of Holiday World! It is a gem, and the wooden coasters rival the bigger name parks. In that area alone you have tons of touristy places, including the largest Santa statue on earth and where all the Santa mail on earth is answered. In town, they have an amazing Christmas store that looks like something out of Disney. At Christmas the entire town comes alive and has a huge drive through Christmas light display. Nearby is where Abraham Lincoln grew up, and they have both a large museum and recreated pioneer village.

Grew up going there Holiday World was my childhood! Im actually from around their! Gotta say the Voyage was my favorite ride of them all.

I grew up in Chicago, and I had never heard of this place, otherwise I would have gone. The very concept of a Thanksgiving themed dark ride is too magnificently ridiculous to pass up. Plus free soda? All I need to know.

Park has been here since the 1940s and was originally Santa Claus Land. They would go on to add lands themed to the different holidays, and in the 90s began to add big wood coasters. The staff is outstanding and yes free parking and drinks are a rare thing in amusement parks. Worth the drive! Hope you enjoy it. Very different than Great America (which I have also been going to since the late 70s).

This is giving me Nightmare Before Christmas vibes when they show the trees with the doors they go to all the holidays

This would be one of those Grizwalds family vacations I would take 💕

I live a few hours from here and use to go every year as a kid! Santa Claus is really nice in the winter time too because of Lake Rudolph's Land of Lights!

I laughed out loud when you said “step father Joseph “ at the nativity scene!!

Holiday World used to be called Santa Claus Land when I was a kid.

I live two hours from Holiday World. Was so happy to see that you did this video of Holiday World. Enjoy your videos!

What the YULETIDE BLAZES! My kid is currently obsessed with Christmas, and I was just telling them about this town! This park looks so cool. Halloween themed Scrambler? Free Pepsi? Holidog? They could rework the logo. Merry Christmas, everyone. Happy Thanksgiving, Holidog!

Well that was certainly different. That is the quickest version of nursery rhymes I have ever seen. The train needs a little oil to fix the squeak Lol. What a different dark ride. Very cool. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

Your poetic use of the word “soggy” ahh… I can’t explain my enjoyment any further.

Big red is popular in Indiana because the company that distributes it, RC Cola, is made in Southern Indiana.

The couple of call backs to the hunched over train conductor made me laugh.

I feel like I just visited the park! As I watched I knew exactly where you were, seeing it on video made me realize how strange some of the attractions are and not holiday related at all. Still I wouldn't change it for anything and well, that's Hoosiers for ya! I've gone to Holiday World more times than I can count. Thanks for showing one of my favorite places on earth! A true Southern Indiana gem. Can you tell I'm from the area, lol!

That’s a very unique theme park!

I think this is a very cute amusement! Very unique in its own way . Love it

This is great. I've been a few times with my daughter and her friends

Thats awesome carpetbagger

wowzer...the quickest nursery rhymes ever!..&, the microphone was much more clear than the Jungle Rides in Disney, lol

They used to have a Toy Museum and Doll museum apart of Holiday World. The Log fume rides where great as well, I wished they kept the trees up around some of the rides, they gave the rides some atmosphere but from that I live an hour away and it's a great place. Have to take a pic with Holidog everytime I visit. Lol

I was so disappointment to find that they had taken those museums and the old Christmas store out! Broke my heart. It was a family tradition to always check those out and to buy a new Christmas ornament every time we went. The new souvenir stores are lame. I miss terribly the glass blowers, too. . .I'd always buy something there as well. Remember the weather swans? Another part I wish they'd never taken out was the wax museum. Those places were iconic and unique and to me as a kid made the place extra special.

Been to many stellar coaster events here (going back to Stark Raven Mad days) as well as regular visits. Simply THE nicest staff outside Disney and you cannot beat the *free drinks and parking. (admission was barely adjusted to cover the overall costs and it works well).

My sister went with my parents back in the 80s(?) When it was still Santa Claus land and apparently she was such a brat my parents never took her back. 😂 now I live 45 minutes away and my husband and I go every summer!

I get the feeling the employee that suggested a Thanksgiving themed buffet was fired and the employee that suggested a Thanksgiving themed dark ride was promoted.

I like the adventures . Get to see places i have never been . Thank u for virtually bringing me

Thanks for another great video Jacob. I also wanted to thank you for inspiring me to get in my truck and drive to Vegas to see Area 15 on a whim with a friend. That cross country trip was an experience I never would have known about or been able to enjoy without first enjoying your vlogs. Thanks for keeping it real. I'm looking forward to seeing many more of your adventures and exploring more of our country as well.

Got over my fear of coasters at this park! Thunderbird is my favorite coaster now

I grew up about an hour south of Holiday World and as a kid I use to love visiting it. As an adult, I barely even bother with it anymore, aside from the once a year event when they'll run The Voyage with it's trim breaks off and really let that coaster go ballistic. If you ever go for the event, get your night rides on on that one for sure!

Much funnier than usual, & yr usual's quite often pretty funny, so...thanks!

Thank for showing us today

I love this channel it is so wholesome and interesting. Gives nostalgia for some reason

Fond memories of this park growing up in the 80’s. They used to have a roller coaster called the ‘Fire Cracker’. One of the simplest, most basic coasters I’ve ever ridden. Sometimes I miss the older rides. Great to see you in Southern Indiana. Big Red for the win.
