Enthusiast coaster & amusement park chatter about whatever. If it's not about coasters & parks, it'll go to the garbage file. Keep it on-topic and flame-retardant, please.

Just the Voyage tour. Right now my schedule looks like drive to HW, do tour, then drive baxk home.

I'll know pretty soon if my plans are 100% firm or not.

Hey Don;

Make sure to include the trip to the sneak preview of the Santa Claus Museum as there some are extremely cool Holiday World things there. Plus you'll get to meet another -G'er (I guess that's what we can call fellow forum people here) face to face.

Have Fun

Paul

Hey Paul, when you cane to the USAF Museum up here, how long did it take you from Santa Claus to Dayton?

I'm close to finalizing plans, and Mapquest and Google are sucking at their estimates.

About a 3.5 hour drive with me going about 5-8 mph over the limit.

Have Fun

Have fun Don. I just hope you eventually get to ride the rides at HW.

Hey Paul - be prepared in case he asks to ride with your son. :lol:

We're all friends here so don't worry about the "Mr" and just call me Paul. I'm glad you have been enjoying the pictures and I will keep them up until the last part of Holiday World's 2006 additions is complete. That should be the Plymouth Rock Cafe which is scheduled to open mid-June so I'll have had a year of construction updates because that's when I started them last year.

Have Fun

Paul
