Holiday World 2015: 66 Days At Sea - Day 23

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 23



Analysis

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

  • "Our ship's pilot is John Clarke."
    • This seems to be just another journal entry, but let's look at the history of John Clarke.  After an eventful life full of voyages to America and being a prisoner of the Spanish for several years, John signed on as the pilot for the Mayflower.  He sailed the ship across the Atlantic Ocean, and his most notable accomplishment was miraculously bringing the ship ashore during a strong storm during an exploration expedition.  Clarke was later murdered during the Indian Massacre of 1622 in Jamestown.
    • As for what this all means for the Holiday World expansion, it could point to a potential theme of a ship going through a rough storm.  This would tie into the water aspect that's been previously hinted at and could also potentially re-purpose the leftover remnants from Giraffica.
That's it for today.  Check back tomorrow for our analysis of Day 24.
