Holiday World 2015: 66 Days At Sea - Day 15

On May 19, 2014, Holiday World began releasing information about their 2015 expansion plans. They launched the teaser site 66DaysAtSea.com to give clues over the course of 66 days as to what the big announcement may be.  You can read more about the site here. We'll be highlighting each day's entry as well as providing our analysis of what we think the clues may be hinting at.

Day 15

Analysis

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Let's take a look at today's entry:

• "We count one hundred plus two passengers on board."
• Many of the clues so far been have been up for debate depending on how you've interpreted them.  This clue, on the other hand, is very specific.  102 passengers.  I am going to assume this is the maximum number of riders on a ride at a given time.  If this assumption is correct, then it's also safe to assume this ride is a coaster since there's no other rides that could handle that large of a capacity at a single time.  A little bit of math tells me that a coaster with three trains of 34 passengers each would add up to 102 passengers.  After doing some research, the only existing coaster I could find with 34 passenger trains is Expedition Everest, which was built by Vekoma.  Although Holiday World would never build something of that scale of theming, I could easily imagine them installing a launching Vekoma coaster that travels out through the woods and has a few inversions.
• It's also worth noting that the current Guinness World Record for the most naked riders on a theme park ride is currently 102.  While Holiday World's marketing department is fond of record breaking rides to showcase in their advertising, I think it's safe to assume this is one record they won't be breaking any time soon.

That's it for today.  We'll be back tomorrow with our analysis of Day 16.
