Did Holiday World Share a Glimpse of Its New Roller Coaster on a T-Shirt?


From the moment a few internet detectives discovered a new ride was in the works at Holiday World & Splashin Safari a couple of weeks ago, fans of the park have been searching for any tiny morsel of information that may lead them to discover what it is exactly before the park is ready to show its hand. Recently, one young visitor may have spotted a clue in an unlikely location — a gift shop t-shirt.

The Story So Far...

I like a good puzzle. A mystery, if you will. And I'll admit, since the rumors of the new coaster started to swirl, I have become fully invested in trying to figure out what exactly the Santa Claus, Indiana park has up its sleeve. It's like trying to solve a murder mystery without all the murder stuff. If this is the first you're hearing of this new coaster, allow me to bring you up to speed with the Cliff Notes version.

Back on June 17th, a video was posted on the YouTube channel, Coaster Focus. The narrator of the video shares shipping information from a company that designs and builds boomerang coasters showing a shipment being made from their

#MerchMondays

So, this Monday, we’re kicking off #MerchMondays. For any theme park merch geeks like me, these Mondays are for you. We’ll be sharing one item per week on Instagram only for the foreseeable future. Inserting shameless reminder to follow us on Instagram here. There’s a ton of merch on the way, plus we’ll give you extra time to plan for our Made To Thrill and NanoCoaster restocks on the HoliShop. 

As we release each item, we’ll tell you a little bit of the story behind the item, show a few photos from the developme



The Backstory

A friend of mine who works in Florida has these posters hanging in his loft.



I’ve been obsessed with them since the first time I visited his house.

They’re posters of rides and coasters, but they’re stinking cool. They’re stylish and artistic. Each poster shows the essence of a roller coaster (or ride), but at the bottom it simply states the year in which the attraction was built, and the city. 



It took me a couple of visits to this friend’s house, but I finally remembered to ask my friend where he got these amazing posters.  As it turns out, they were from a company called Made to Thrill.

They take your classic theme park merchandise and make it stylish. This is not intended to offend lovers and buyers of classic theme park merch–I still love to pick up that stuff too, I just don’t wear it every day and put it on display. For reference: please see my entire collection of old theme park merch, old maps, and enamel pins. 

Made to Thrill is the stuff I’ll wear any day. I visited the website and instantly purchased a poster of a favorite ride of mine that has been replaced, a t-shirt, and a B&am
