Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This couldn't have been an easy task. To try to put together a history of an amusement park, even when you're as closely related to the owners as Pat Koch is, must be an exercise in digging through musty newspapers and trying to find old advertisements. The series is called "Images of America", so there's a heavy emphasis on photographs, but there doesn't seem to have been a huge range of photos available. The book looks and reads a lot like going through someone's personal photo album. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Louis J. Koch had a dream--one of family, fun, and Christmastime year-round. And so he created Santa Claus Land, the nation's first theme park, in Santa Claus, located in the gentle rolling hills of southern Indiana. Now, six decades later, Koch's legacy lives on at Holiday World and Splashin' Safari. Still owned and operated by the Koch family, Holiday World and Splashin' Safari are consistently voted the friendliest and cleanest parks in the country, and their wooden roller coasters are rated in the top ten list among coaster enthusiasts. The Koch family members treat visitors to the park as family and welcome everyone into what has become a true extension of their home. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

This book was such a treat to read. You know why Holiday World is so fantastic? Because it is family owned and operated by the fantastic Koch family. This book shares little known facts about Santa Claus land and Holiday World and behind the scene moments with the Koch family. The book is extra poignant since a lot of it is told by Will Koch, Holiday World's president who passed away not very long ago. We just returned from the trip and one of the most amazing things we took in on this visit was a Halloween scene with scarecrows and the faces on them were those of the Koch family. We see Pat Koch on almost every visit. The book makes us feel even closer to her family. I think other park owners should read this book and study Holiday World so they can learn how running a phenomenal park is truly done. ( )
