Holiday World

[jason867]

I'm sure they have a policy against carrying, however, I can't remember if they have metal detectors or not?

I will be going there shortly and would like to know, if someone has went recently and remembers.

Thanks.

No detectors or pat-downs last year.

No they don't have detections or patdowns. Pretty easy to carry in there and I have before. I don't recommend swimming with your gun in your pocket though. lol

 

[Mr. Habib]

No Security, no metal detectors, no searches. as of last summer.

 

[jason867]

ok cool. thanks.

As for swimming you can lock it in the lockers or carry it in a beach bag with you. Or you can carry a Glock and not worry about it and just clean it later in the evening!!!

lol, I would except that I'd be afraid of shooting myself in the hand while dis-assembling it.

Clean them? Why bother, they have porcelain barrels after all.

We've done Holiday World for the last two years (talk of going again has started) and even though there's no searches or detectors, I've never felt the need to carry.

In fact, the less you have on your person, the less you have to worry about putting in the stuff holders while riding.

I wouldn't OC there (I don't know if there's a policy or not). It just wouldn't be comfortable while riding.

I have a Maxpedition bag that if I carried, I'd hypothetically carry CC in that and put it in a locker.

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

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

Not to be a downer here, but..

Their website says the standard "NO weapons, knives, firearms" etc

thats just a suggestion

 

[jbombelli]

thats just a suggestion

It's certainly not the law. It may be a rule, it may be a requirement, but it is not the law.

 

[jason867]

that's my thinking

 

[fennsta_78]

Just show your ticket at the door. I would be willing to bet they won't let you OC.

 

[rmabrey]

Just an FYI, dont lose your gun. I helped design their lost and found program and database.....I dont remember adding a field for "gun" so they will probably get confused

 

[longbow]

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....

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.

I go there every year and have never felt the need to be armed in the park plus I am a bigger guy and its tight on the rides as is would not want to worry about my firearm.
