News Holiday World Project 2024/Gravy Boat: Good Gravy (Vekoma Family Boomerang)

[CoasterMac]

Thanks to some internet sleuths finding shipping records, it appears Holiday World is installing a Vekoma Family Boomerang for 2024!



No indication of what model or any stats, but this is a perfect addition for them. Definitely needed something to fill the gap between Howler and Raven.

So it's replacing Girrafica. There's a lot of space to play around with for a ride envelope there.

This will honestly be an extremely strong addition to HW if they execute well which I would think is likely. But also YES more modern Vekomas. Still waiting for one of the big 3 regional chains to open one domestically.

HW Podcast out today. Said idea for ride came from seeing it at IAAPA 2021. Vekoma won an award for F.L.Y that year. I know it is not likely, but I would love to see their 2nd Flying coaster built at HW

I literally have no clue how to say this, but holiday world employees are being told that the new coaster is somehow associated with Cracker Barrel and McCormick. We’ll see if that’s true tomorrow.

Lemme guess. Discord?

We only have one day left. Let’s speculate!

Theming a coaster after those would be weird. If they are involved then this is a sponsorship ah la Six Flags. "Gravy Boat", Presented by McCormick Spice and Cracker Barrel. Ick.

Whoever designed these trains is a genius lmfaoo

KD needs a new family coaster like this. Well, not necessarily like this, but they need to add one. Along with a new high thrill one, of course.

 

[warfelg]

Good gravy that’s bad. Lol

 

[Thrills & Chills WQAQ]

I like the good gravy part don’t get me wrong but why do we need to add family coaster to it. It’s just too long

 

[Zachary]

I think this is adorably stupid. I was highly skeptical when I first heard the name, but the fact that it's a little kiddie coaster and they went so hard on this cheesy theme is just delightful.
