Pre-Season Top 5 for 2009 - #3 Pilgrims Plunge

Anytime a park unveils an attraction that is the tallest in the world, it merits a close look (and a ride too!)

Holiday World's new attraction looks like it's going to be one of those rides that is all about the anxious moments before the drop.

The Pilgrims Plunge elevator system is what moves this ride into the top five for me.

I think it's going to be quite a thrill to be in an open air boat, slowly heading 135 feet in the air (vertically) before reaching the precipice of of the 131 foot, 45-degree drop.

I also like how Holiday World is building entrances to the ride from both the theme park and the water park. To me, this attraction is the best of both worlds.

I've never been a huge fan of shoot-the chutes rides, but this looks like one that can't be missed.
