Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana (bahahaa) announced today that they'll be adding the world's tallest water ride in 2009. The Pilgrim's Plunge uses an "open-air elevator" to lift 10-passenger boats 135 feet in the air. Then...wheee! These videos are cheesy but kinda fun. [AP]

Oh Dear Jesus. NONONONONONO.
S'funny. I can't do roller coasters (I lock up like the tin man sans oil) but give me a rickety tilt-a-whirl run by a surly, tattooed ex-con carny, I'm happy.
I grew up going to Holiday World, and can even remember when it was still Santa Claus Land and had nothing but a damned cool miniature train and a guy in a Santa suit in July. The park has long had a reputation for innovative rides, despite being located in the middle of Nowhere, Indiana. I'd take Holiday World over any number of flags any day of the week.
If you're talking great / tiny amusement parks in the middle of Indiana, you have to check out Indiana Beach. The skyride there hasn't changed since they opened the park. It's great.
