The park posted this photo of the construction of the head and foot chopper, looks very tight!

Wow. Looks even better than I thought it would.

Mmmm, yeah. Looks sexy. To some extent I never trust a photo because it can be taken at a certain angle to make it look better (it's like taking a selfie with the camera higher than your head so your eyes appear bigger and you don't get a piggy nose). It looks like the fence on the left is closer to the camera compared to the one on the right so although the near miss will still be great, it might not be as sexy as the photo suggests.

Why am I looking forward to this? Launched B&M for starters and the inevitable photo of fab Pat Koch riding front row on opening day <3

^I hate to break your spirit, but Pat Koch currently has nothing to do with Holiday World. The Park is now owned by Will Koch's wife, Lori. She still has part ownership but doesn't have any say in how the park runs, same with Dan Koch (her son) who holds a 40% stake in the park but was fired as the president by Lori.

Dan and Pat now own and operate Alabama Splash Adventure.

It is honestly the little things about that near miss that make holiday World so much more awesome.

THEY'VE SHOWN THE FIRST LAUNCH OF THE TRAIN!

It actually looks far more intense than what I thought it would have been. It seems like it will be at least be stronger than Hulks.

Really impressed with that!
Was expecting it to lose alot of speed as it entered the first inversion but it hardly slowed at all.
