I tried to watch the Pov video on their site but it was down. From the pictures I have seen, the ride looks like it will be really fun. The only thing I am not fond of is the name, but that's not what makes or breaks or coaster now is it :lol:

Looks awesome! Now, my plans for the USA's Biggest Road Trip will be even more thought about! Looks great, and looking at the airtime chart, makes it sound even better.

OK, so now I have to add Holiday World to my list of places to return to in 2006. No problem, as I was already planning on getting to Bowling Green for their woodie. Looks like a great addition, as is the Turkey shooting darkride. We were just saying back in May "Holiday World needs a darkride of some sorts." And they're adding a Lazy River to the new section, talk about a cornucopia!

So is it too early to start talking about a TPR meet next May?

"rumored prefessional version of no limits is true?"

There were a LOT of similarities of that video, and no-limits, most notibly, the base-audio of the train.

It does look like one AWESOME coaster though.

I dont think its a pro version. I think its an updated version of what we have. Many people, including myself have pointed out all the flaws with the wooden coasters and they all seem to have been fixed. I see no reason to keep it from the public.

So hopefully that comes our way in the near future.

As for the ride, OMG.

That think is so cool! It's going to be the airtime king! Looks like it's going to be the best woodie out there I think!

I saw the POV right after it was posted and I am still in shock. They took the best parts of the best coasters in the world and added a triple down. Holy crap the ride goes underground 8 times! They are designing it to have 24.2 seconds of airtime which is insane, but you have to wait and see how that works out. If it does, this will be the best wooden coaster ever.

My fiancee and I just signed up to be ACE members (a long time dream of mine

) and we are going to use our discount to buy season passes to Holiday World for 2006! I'm am so freakin' excited! Does anyone get the feeling that this is going to be one long winter?! Ph well, it will be worth the wait just for the 24+ seconds of airtime! I'm also thrilled about the "Adventure River" just because the other "Adventure Rivers" that I've been on were relaxing and alot more fun then just a plain Lazy River. And Elissa I am TOTALLY with you... forget everything else, we're just going for the Thanksgiving themed dark ride! haha!

Three 28-passenger PTC trains

Looks like there will be a mid-course brake in there somewhere. That ride looks insane.

So, when will (or if) that No Limits track be released to the public?

As my understanding this is a quote from Will Koch, my friend has it on tape. He was there at the press conference.

"No brakes, this coaster was designed for speed."
