Yes, we did go on the big Midwest trip this year. As always, we had a really great time. This will take me a few days to get everything posted. Anyways, onto the first park.....Holiday World.

Awesome start to your trip report Erik! It was great getting to meet you on the trip and I hope we cross paths along the line somewhere again!
And you're right, it was definitely incredibly hot that day, those free drinks saved us all I think.

Night Rides put on all three coasters at HWN put all coasters solidly in my top 5 and solidified Voyage in my Number 1, I have not rode it in the trim state though.

Great pics.... I am really sorry that I never got the chance to introduce myself. I saw you and your wife from a distance twice at Holiday World (I didn't even realize you were there until dinner at the picnic grove) and at least once on Sunday, but I was never where I could easily say hello, or if I was, I wasn't paying attention!
Glad you guys had fun. I think Sam and I were the only ones who didn't get on Raven that day because the one time we got there, we were told it was closed.

Excellent, as usual, Erik--I'm thinking that I might I have to do a mini-tour of Indiana next summer, myself.
