Umlando omncane ohlanganiswe ne-dash of lore uhlelekile: Abasunguli belo dolobha babefuna ukubiza iningizimu yase-Indiana, "Santa Fe," kodwa iziphathimandla zeposi zithi igama selivele selithathwe. Ngosuku lukaKhisimusi, 1852, izakhamizi zahlangana ukukhetha igama lomphakathi wazo. Igoli liwukuthi umnyango wehholo lomhlangano uvulekile futhi kuvele i-gent ethile ebomvu.
Ngaphandle kwezwi eliphuma edolobheni elinamagama emilingo, izivakashi zaqala ukwenza izinyanga zikaDisemba kodwa zadumazeka ngenxa yokuthola okungaphezu kwesitolo esiphezulu, iposi, neminyango eminingi. Umengameli wezwe weHhovisi leHhovisi leHhovisi leHhovisi likaKoch uzosho ukuthi umkhulu wakhe "unalolu hlobo lwengqondo yobuqili ekwakheni umhlaba waseSanta Claus" ngawo-1940.
Evuliwe ngo-1946, uKoch uthi iSanta Claus Land yiyona "epaki yokuqala epaki emhlabeni." Ngemuva kokuqala i-Disneyland (evuliwe ngo-1955), kodwa kungenziwa ukuthi ezinye izingxenye "zepaki" zibuyela emuva ku-1893 World's Columbian Exposition noma ngisho naseDenmark iTivoli Gardens, eyakhiwe ngo-1843, ngaphambi kweSanta Claus Land. Futhi amanye amapaki, kuhlanganise nomakhelwane kaDisneyland, uKernott Berry Farm , futhi abeka isimangalo isihloko sokuqala sepaki.
Ekuqaleni, leli paki lalivuliwe unyaka wonke futhi liloba khona inani eliphakeme kakhulu phakathi nonyaka kaKhisimusi.
I-Santa's toyshop, idolobhana laseBavaria, kanye nezethameli zomuntu siqu ne-triple-ho legend zaziphakathi kwamaphuzu avelele. I-Freedom Train, enye yezinto ezikhangayo zokuqala, yaqhubeka isebenza kuze kube ngo-2013. Ngosuku lokuzalwa kwayo lwango-70 ngo-2016, leli paki laletha isitimela emuva njengesiboniso se-nostalgic.
Phakathi neminyaka yama-60 no-70, amaKoch ahlanganisa ukugibela kwepaki yokuzijabulisa.
Ngo-1984, umndeni washintsha igama lepaki ukuthi " Iholidi Yezwe " futhi wafaka izingxenye ezihlanganyelwe ku-Okthoba ne-Halloween. Kusukela ngo-1995, nge-debut yaseRaven, leli paki laqala ukwakha ama-coasters emhlabeni wonke aphakamisa iphrofayili yayo. IThe Legend yalandelwa ngo-2000, futhi i- The Voyage yayo, okwesithathu yokhuni, yavulwa kakhulu ngonyaka ka-2006 kanye nezwe elisha eliholide, i-Thanksgiving. Ngo-2015, i-Holiday World ibambe iqhaza layo elikhulu lokuqala lensimbi, i-Thunderbird, futhi likhona esigabeni sokubonga sepaki. I- Splashin 'Safari yamanzi yamanzi , enye yezwe elikhulu kunazo zonke futhi eyaziwa kakhulu, ifakiwe nokuvunyelwa kwi-Holiday World.
Kuyathakazelisa, ukupaka kwepaki okwenziwe unyaka wonke kuma-70s okuqala futhi sekuvaliwe phakathi nenkathi yeKhisimusi kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. UKoch uthi ukusabalala kwamasitolo amakhulu nezitolo uSantas wenza ukuhambela isikhathi sikaKhisimusi eHhovisi leHhovisi leHhovisi leMpilo elilodwa elingavamile kakhulu nangemva kwehlobo liye lahla kakhulu. (Kuvuliwe ngasekupheleni kukaSeptemba no-Okthoba for "Ama-Weekend Happy Halloween Week", kodwa.) Kwabavakashi abavakashela idolobha laseSanta Claus emhlabeni kaKhisimusi, kufana ne-vu vu njalo. "Ngeshwa, akukho okuningi okumelwe bakwenze," kusho uKoch.
