Giraffica, originally known as Pilgrims Plunge, was a Shoot The Chute built by Intamin formerly located at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari in Santa Claus, Indiana, USA. It was the tallest water ride in the world when it opened in 2009. The ride closed in 2013.
History
In August 2008, Holiday World announced that Pilgrims Plunge would be added to the park.[1] It would be located in the Thanksgiving area.
The highest point was topped off in March 2009.[2]
Pilgrims Plunge opened to the public on May 2, 2009.
For the 2013 season, Pilgrims Plunge became Giraffica when the waterpark was expanded.
On April 17, 2014, Holiday World announced that Giraffica would not reopen for the 2014 season.[3] Park Spokeswoman Paula Werne stated "It was down more than it was open, and that's not what we're all about."[4] It was replaced with Good Gravy! in 2024, which re-uses Giraffica's station building.[5]
