Holiday World 2015: 66 Days At Sea - Day 39

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 39



Analysis

Let's take a look at today's entry:
  • "A calmer day today, but only the older children were permitted a quick moment to stretch their legs on the sodden deck."
    • The only possible hint I can decipher from this entry is for a mid-course break run. The MCBR is sometimes added to a coaster in order to give the riders a brief moment to catch their breath and prepare themselves for the remainder of the ride. Some enthusiasts dislike MCBRs because they interrupt the flow of the ride, but sometimes they're necessary not only for the sake of the riders but also for the blocking of the trains on the course which impacts capacity.  It will be interesting to see if Holiday World includes a mid-course break run on their alleged new coaster. 
That's it for today.  Check back tomorrow for our analysis of Day 40.
