Holiday World & Splashin' Safari are set to announce their $9 million new addition(s) for the 2012 season next wednesday, August 3 at 11 am. What do you think it's going to be? From their twitter:
Getting calls from the news media regarding next Wednesday's BIG announcement for 2012. (Did I mention it's a $9 million investment?)
Next Wednesday's announcement for 2012 includes something for @HolidayWorld and something else for @SplashinSafari.
Let the speculation begin, but hurry! The announcement is just days away!
With the great line-up of woodies they have, id like to see them shake it up a bit with a steel coaster maybe. As to what kind? I can see a maverick/stormrunner type coaster fitting in quite well.
Don't fight the Bull, ride the Bull!
Best 2011 Moment: "I lost my phone on Raging Bull!" "WELL I LOST A SOCK!!!" Best 2012 Moment: "No good! DREAM ON!" Best 2013 Moment: "I came here for Auntie Anne's pretzels and coasters......in that order!"
^If it's only a $9 million dollar investiment, it's pretty safe to say B&M isn't part of the picture, especially if that money includes something for both HW and SS.

^I don't know if you are serious, but they already have a watercoaster they just built recently - Wildebeest.

I wanna say that they are going to be putting in a new area but what would they call it? Christmas Halloween Fourth of July and Thanksgiving are all taken? I guess they could have Easter; with spinning eggs and a few candy stores and a giant frog hop rethemes to the bunny hop. Or St Patrick's Day where the section is just a big bar lol. If it is not a new area then my bet is something to definately go in their water park as i dont think that they have put in anything for their water park in a long time.
Well the park has stated before that in their very long term plans they want the dry park to completely encircle the waterpark. Gotta guess they have a few more holidays lined up. If I had to take a guess I'd say Easter is probably next, maybe they can get April Fools Day in somehow
