How much of a nerd does it make me that I'm almost more excited about the new path under Voyage than I am PP?

/At last, a new place to take photos of Voyage!

Pilgrims Plunge testing starts today

Postby Raven Maven » Mon Apr 06, 2009 10:44 am

...in a few minutes, actually. :)

Shortly after 1 pm CDT today, the first boat will be lifted up the drop (about 1/3 of the way up) by crane for the first test.

Testing will continue this afternoon and tomorrow morning.

Our Pilgrims Plunge construction cam will provide a live view.

Thanks, Paula

I wonder who will be the one to fish the boat out of the splash pool?

Congrats and good luck on the testing today, Paula. While I can't make to the park this year, I'll definitely be visiting in 2010. See you then.

Thanks for keeping us updated, another reason to look forwared to a visit to Holiday World. Plunge looks terrifying but in a good way.

Holidog is probably cowering at the back of his doghouse at the prospect of taking the plunge.

Just posted a brief video of one of the test runs. Sploosh!

More tomorrow ... with a variety of water depths.

Thanks for your kind comments.
