Crews are busy building the world's longest water coaster at Holiday World and Splashin' Safari in Santa Claus, Indiana.

The construction of the "Wildebeest" will be featured on the National Geographic Channel's "World's Toughest Fixes".

 

The episode will air in June after the "Wildebeest" makes its debut in May.

 

Holiday World President Will Koch says the host of "World's Toughest Fixes", Sean Riley, is a professional rigger who enjoys working at great heights. He will be on site this month helping install the top section of the ride's lift hill, which towers four stories tall.

 

Holiday World's attractions have appeared on several Discovery Channel cable tv shows and the Travel Channel did a segment on the park for their extreme rides program last summer. But Koch is excited about the National Geographic Channel show because the "Wildebeest" will be featured for the entire hour.

 

Holiday World and Splashin' Safari opens for the season on may first with the premiere of the "Wildebeest" water coaster scheduled for May 14.
