^^Me three! Now that I see it, it's easier to spot than the one on the bear ride. But I saw the latter and not the G-force ducky!

Ok. Tried to read the rules again while playing with the 2 kiddies. Do I just pick a sport or a team in that particular sport. If it's a team, I'll go with the Detroit Tigers, even though I'm a bigger Phillies phantom.

Talking about Santa, he was probably the best part of the whole park experience.
Phillip Wenz has played Santa Claus for almost 30 years! Even during the time frame that Santa's Village closed down, he played Santa at Holiday World!
Santa is also the historian of the park and being Santa is the only job he has ever had!
Santa filled us in on lots of interesting facts about the whole park, and had all 4 of us loving every conversation we had with him.
