HoliWood Nights
During ERT, we wear pink.
Note: All ticket codes for HoliWood Nights 2026 have been claimed.
If you’re one of those Plastics who live for that roller coaster rush, then HoliWood Nights is so for you — and you can’t sit with us if you’re not there!
We’ve got Exclusive Ride Time (ERT) on our coasters (plus a few other rides) after hours, because nothing says “cool mom” like lapping the tracks all night long. We’ve got food. We’ve got water coaster ERT — get in, loser, we’re going splashin’. We’ve got food. We’ve got trimless rides on The Voyage, where the only drama is how fast you’ll regret not wearing pink. Oh, and did we mention that we’ve got food? (It’s not from the reject tray.)
Just don’t tell Holidog to “fetch” – it’s not gonna happen.
The event is always the first Friday and Saturday after Memorial Day, so our 2026 event will be May 29 & 30.

Tips for Your Visit
- You must present your up-to-date Partner Coaster Club membership card at registration along with a Photo ID.
- The Holidog Inn will stay open until the conclusion of ERT each evening.
- Absolutely no cameras, cell phones, other recording devices, or loose articles are allowed on the coasters… ever!
- No, we don’t “staple,” but lap bars will rest on your lap (or tum-tum, as the case may be).
- You must wear your HoliWood Nights wristband to take part in event activities.
- For the photo/video walkbacks, please wear sneakers or other closed-toed shoes. It’s gravel-y and steep in places. Oh, and deodorant.
- Ticket codes/vouchers are not for resale and is non-refundable and non-transferable.
- Every attendee must agree to the following Code of Conduct to participate in the event: It is my responsibility to follow posted and verbal safety rules at Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari without exception, including (but not limited to) not attempting to circumvent the safety features of the rides. I understand that some rider behaviors are so obviously unsafe that posting them is not a necessity, and so agree that I will use caution and conservative judgment in riding. I understand that failure to follow this Code of Conduct may result in me being escorted out of, and banned from, Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari.
