EB On The Job At Holiday World

As many of you know, our own EB packed up his family and moved to Indiana a few weeks ago.

Being the excellent TV Producer he is, he immediately found a job.  And where did his first assignment take him?

HOLIDAY WORLD!

Paula over at the HoliBlog posted about his day at the park.

From what I've heard, EB walked the track of The Voyage and even got to interview several of the staff members.

And EB reports that Paula remembered him from our 2006 Podcast at Holiday World!

EB always makes a good impression!

EB checks in from Indiana!

EB checking in on the blog!  The move was successful and we're all settling in here in Indiana.

So far, so good, and we really like it here.  Over the weekend we visited Brown County State Park, and more importantly, the Indianapolis Zoo.  

Why is the Zoo so special?  Because it has a roller coaster, of course!!

It's just a wee little kiddie coaster, but it still adds one to my coaster count, right?  And speaking of one coaster on your coaster count, young Mark rode, too - his very first coaster!

We just barely convinced the ride op that he was 38", so he got to ride Kombo, a kiddie coaster at the Indianapolis zoo!  It was awesome and he really loved it - I was so worried he'd be freaked out and scared, but he thought it was the best part of the zoo!  The op sent us around for three circuits, too - Mark yelled "Again Again" everytime we came around to the station. Yay!

Next up, the Howler at Holiday World!

EB Is Moving On

A message from EB:

Ho, ho, ho! Like that guy we met at Holiday World, I'm moving to Indiana!

Indeed, it's true. I'm tired of the sprawling suburbs and I am packing up my wife and two boys for easy-going country living. The housing costs here in Northern Virginia are insane, so with this move we'll be trading in our little townhouse for a single family home and an acre of land. And my commute will go from 45 minutes in the nation's 2nd worst traffic to 10 minutes and a couple of stoplights.

And yes, we really will be near Holiday World. That will basically be my new home park, only about two hours away (much like good ol' King's Dominion is from where we live now). Can't wait to get down there and ride those woodies – I think we'll be making it a required destination for anyone who come out to visit (this not an open invite – I'm talking about people I actually know, not you).

But never fear, Collins still has plans to finish out the three promised shows, and I will be a part of them, either in person or otherwise (unless I'm actually navigating a uHaul through the Appalachian Mountains at the time). Otherwise? What does that mean? Yeah, I think we'll have to go the Skype route!! Ha! And even though it sounds like crap, you know your CoasterRadio crew will figure out a way of doing it better then anyone else!

CoasterRadio.com Rocks the HoliBlog!

One of the best places we ever visited during the reign of the CoasterRadio.com podcast was Holiday World and Splashin' Safari.

It was so great, it even brought a smile to EB's face.

Today, the relaunch of CoasterRadio.com got a nice mention in the HoliBlog with a link to our review of The Voyage.

There's only been one time that I've traveled over 300 miles to visit a theme park that didn't have the name DISNEY in it. That trip was to Santa Claus, Indiana to visit Holiday World.

It was totally worth it.
