Are you hoping to ride The Voyage, Holiday World's wild wood coaster that will be debuting in its new Thanksgiving section this coming season? Are you on the heavy side and planning to lose some weight, perhaps as part of your New Year's resolutions? Would you like to have your 15 pounds, er minutes, of fame? If you answered yes to all three of the questions, the Indiana theme park has a deal for you. A new TV series that is being co-developed by the BBC and the Discovery Channel, "The Truth About Food," is seeking a candidate to participate in a four-month weight-loss program (supervised by nutritionists provided by the television crew) with the goal of riding The Voyage. Heavier guests sometimes cannot ride roller coasters if they can't properly fit in the rides' seats or fasten the safety restraints. The TV program will feature the chosen dieter in an episode entitled, "Eat to Slim." For more details and to learn how to submit your name to the show's producers, go to Holiday World's Web site. You'll have to hurry, however. The deadline is Tuesday, January 31.
