On this episode we finally discuss our 2018 trip to Holiday World in Santa Claus Indiana for Holiwood Nights, which was themed to the movie Caddyshack, renamed Coastershack. We cover the Golden Ticket Awards looking at the winners and possible controversies. We also discuss the terrific opportunity to be interviewed on Holiday World's Podcast at the end of the summer. Without Andrew's knowledge, I played his performance from last winter's talent show at his school where he played and sang, "I'm Looking through You" by the Beatles. This was inspired by us listening to them at Splashin' Safari at Holiday World last year and we give credit through about three degrees of separation to Will Koch who loved the Beatles.

On this week's show, we take a break from our usual craziness to pay tribute to Will Koch, the president of Holiday World who passed away on Sunday at the age of 48. Will has always had a special place on this show because he was one of the first "big" guests that agreed to come on when we were first starting out back in 2005. Back then, not many people in the amusement industry wanted to deal with "the podcast guys." But Will came on CoasterRadio.com and was funny, candid and extremely interesting. This week, we're replaying that interview as a tribute to Will. It's wonderful to hear him talk about the park that was his life and the creation of roller coasters that everyone knows and loves. His enthusiasm is contagious and the interview is one of our all-time favorites. As a way to say thanks, we're donating all of the website profits for the month of June to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in his name. Everyone here at CoasterRadio.com sends our best wishes to Holiday World and the Koch family.
If you're a theme park enthusiast, you definitely know names like Disney, Universal, Six Flags, Paramount, Busch and Cedar Fair. They are the companies behind the major theme park chains in the United States. They also account for most of the profit made in the amusement park industry. However, when it comes to customer service, cleanliness and value, most of those parks can't compete with America's Independent Parks. There are dozens of family-owned parks that strive to give their guests a feeling of welcome and the knowledge that their park is a place people can call home. Parks like Kennywood, Knoebels, Indiana Beach, Lake Compounce and Holiday World are excellent examples of parks that are known throughout the world for their hospitality, attentive staff and a collection of rides that vary from classic to modern. On this week's show, we'll talk about many of these parks and how they differ from the corporate themers. We give specific details about prices, attractions and the unique aspects of each park. We'll also be joined by Will Koch, the president of Holiday World & Splashin' Safari in Santa Claus Indiana. Holiday World is recognized as an industry leader because of their innovations in hospitality and the overall guest experience. They shocked the amusement park industry a few years ago when they began giving way free soft drinks as part of the regular admission fee. They also are home to The Raven and The Legend, two of the top wooden roller coasters in the world. We'll talk with Will about the the family history of Holiday World, the secret behind its success, and we'll find out as much as we can about their new record-breaking wooden coaster for 2006 - The Voyage. We'll also tell you who won our SOUNDWAVE contest and we'll have another edition of Theme Park Trivia. Next week, we're putting you in charge of the show. Head to our dedicated forum topic to let us know what you want to hear. It's our way of saying thanks for listening to the show in 2005. Don't forget to vote in our 2005 CoasterRadio.com Awards!
