Friday night was a magical night at Holiday World and Splashin' Safari in Santa Claus, Indiana. During the special sneak preview night for the Holidays in the Sky drone show, the park employee who oversees the show got the surprise of her life. After the finale of the show, the drones went rogue and orchestrated a magnificently unexpected, charming, and romantic wedding proposal.

Good Gravy!- a Thanksgiving-themed boomerang coaster the whole family can enjoy- opened last year. It has quickly become one of the most popular rides at the park and has won some coveted industry awards for its theme and innovation. To celebrate the coaster's second year of operation, Happy New Month has recorded a parody song about the attraction that is going to be used in Holiday World's award-winning drone show, Holidays in the Sky.

This year, the park is unveiling a brand new show that's going to absolutely exhilarate audiences. For decades, the beloved Santa Claus, Indiana theme park has been home to a popular diving show. This year, it will play host to circus royalty- The Nerveless Nocks.

Holiday World has unique extras you can add to your trip including a guided tour that includes climbing to the very top of The Voyage's massive hill!

It swoops. It soars. It's what you've been cravin'. Hold on tight and enjoy your ride on The Raven.
