Holiday World

[Mr. Habib]

This. The locker areas at Holiday World are very much public places (think "teeming masses"); I wouldn't want the gun to be seen at all, even when I take it off to put it in the locker.

That's why, when I go, I usually carry a smaller gun in a funny pack holster. When I do need to remove it, no one is any wiser.

Well if they let you in then OC must be ok. Right?

I left my Ostrich at home that day.

I've just been thinking.... Grandson has never been there. And I love the cleanliness and laid back atmosphere.

Go. We went for the first time last year and had such a great experience that we're going back again at the end of this month. Of course, it doesn't hurt that my Dad's company gets free tickets.

campgrounds down there are nice too. My sister and her kids camp down there and get season passes.

Is there a gunshow at Holiday World I wasn't aware of?

As soon as I take my shirt off, the gunshow begins...

 

[J_Wales]

Cc is fine, just don't take them on the rides unless it is real secure. One of the customers had to ask maintenance to get it when it fell from a coaster.

Also they do have security, they just don't look like it. If you create a problem they will be on you quickly. You should be safe! If you hang out in the same area for about 20 minutes, and people watch, you'll spot them.

They are pro gun and be carefull when you are visiting! This has been a crazy year for insurance and we don't need anymore big losses....

Yet another reason Holiday World is better than that friggin disney place.

Why not just prohibit crimes in the park?

 

[ThrottleJockey]

Thanks Keith. I haven't yet been there, but after last years experience at emperors island.....We'll be checking out Holiday World this year. I have no further desire for my kids to be taken advantage of by illegal friggin' mexican'ts in their mid 40's working there. I also didn't appreciate the treatment we received by the loser reserve officers working security for them. Stay away from the 3 parks they own..one in cincy, one in Minneapolis and the big one in Sandusky....they will NEVER see another dime from my family.

ETA I actually worked for them (cedar fair) back in the '90s and know a bit about their hiring practices too....they go out of their way to hire foreign college students and gays. They get some sort of tax breaks. It seems last year they even went out of their way to find illegal aliens too.

Did you create an account just to post that?

By the way, I'll be there the next 3 days.

Okay, but my gun isn't a weapon, just a tool. My mind and my hands are weapons, does that mean I can't come to holiday world? Can I take a weapon from someone already there since it's just the act of bringing it in that is prohibited? Come on, get with the program here.

Whats that movie? Catch Me If You Can

Seriously prohibiting crime in the park would be better. I carried last time I was there and no one got shot.

Never heard of Holiday World (until today). Looks like a mix of water park and ride park (ie. Great America). Looks nice but it is far from NWI and their no firearm policy means I'll take my money and spent it elsewhere.

My friend was talking about taking me and my son there this summer since I haven't been there since I was a kid...

Looks like I'll have to tell her we'll pass... I vote with my dollars when I can.

Clearly, he meant to say "getting caught with a gun in Holiday World will result in a ban from the park."

 

[SirRealism]

My one visit to HW was great... they have some awesome roller coasters, and it's a clean place staffed by friendly folks.

Good luck finding an amusement park that doesn't have a no-weapons policy. That applies to most gun shops, as well.

That having been said, nobody is responsible for my own safety but me.

(BTW, they also ban cameras in your pockets or fanny pack on all but 4 rides. Unless they do patdowns on every ride, I doubt they enforce it.)

Well now that I know I just won't go back.
