Posted at 5:19 PM EST (2219 GMT)

Dec. 13th, 2004 -- SANTA CLAUS, Ind. -- Writing checks just became a bit more amusing. A series of photos taken at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari is now available as checks from Carousel Checks of Chicago, Illinois.

“Apparently, roller coaster checks have never been available before,” says Holiday World & Splashin' Safari president Will Koch. “We were delighted when Carousel Checks invited us to team up with them to be the first park ever featured on checks.”

Carousel Checks president Andy Crim, whose family has been in the check-printing business for 40 years, visited Holiday World & Splashin' Safari in May to take digital photos for the check series. Two dozen different scenes from the theme park and water park are featured, including The Raven and The Legend coasters, HallowSwings, Zinga water slide, and Santa Claus. Checks featuring the Holiday World, Raven, or Legend logos are also available.

The Holiday World & Splashin' Safari checks are available online at www.CarouselChecks.com or by calling 1-888-422-6122.

Holiday World & Splashin' Safari will open for the 2005 season in May. For more information, log on to www.holidayworld.com or call 1-877-Go-Family.
