SANTA CLAUS, Ind. -- A southern Indiana amusement park's newest ride will be getting plenty of exposure in the coming weeks from a National Geographic Channel film crew.

The crew will film workers hoisting a huge piece of rounded fiberglass four stories into the air for the new Wildebeest water ride at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari.

Holiday World President Will Koch says the Wildebeest's construction will be the focus of a one-hour June episode of the cable channel's "World's Toughest Fixes" program.

The show's host will return to the park in the spring to ride the Wildebeest.

Officials at the amusement park in Santa Claus, about 35 miles east of Evansville, say the ride will be the world's longest water coaster.
