Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari Nominated for Nine USA Today Awards
I know many people are partial to their home parks, but ours really is the best. "Home park" means the theme park that is closest to your home. Or the one you visit the most, I suppose. Obviously, for those of us in the tri-state area, that is Holiday World & Splashin' Safari.
Our friends make every day a holiday in Santa Claus, Indiana! We are counting down the days to the season opening when we can hop back onto the Hallowswings! Or enjoy a whole Thanksgiving dinner before taking a float in the Bahari River. Ahhh perfection. AND free soft drinks?! Free sunscreen? Say less!
It's no wonder they've been nominated NINE times for the USA Today Reader's Choice Awards this year. Only the best of the best are included in the voting process, and they need our help to win. Our friend, Matt Eckert, President & CEO of Holiday World & Splashin' Safari, shared,
"Our team is honored to be nominated in so many categories again this year. The recognition from industry experts is nice, but Holiday World exists because of our guests who visit and love the park. We hope everyone will help us reach the top by voting daily- especially for best outdoor water park and best water coaster."

Here are the nominations:
Best Theme Park – Holiday World
Best Outdoor Water Park – Splashin’ Safari
Best Water Coaster – Cheetah Chase, Mammoth, Wildebeest
Best Roller Coaster – The Voyage
Best Lazy River – Bahari River
Best Wave Pool – Bahari Wave Pool, The Wave
As you can see, Holiday World & Splashin' Safari is so awesome that they've been nominated multiple times in multiple categories. It is gonna be hard for me to pick a favorite water coaster, though. I think I'm gonna have to go with the Mammoth! What about you? You can vote for your favorites every day starting now through April 20th by clicking here or on the links above.
