The Howler is a family steel roller coaster at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari in Santa Claus, Indiana, United States.

It was built in 1999 by Zamperla as part of a larger expansion project to build Holidog's FunTown; it opened on May 8, 1999.

In 1998, Holiday World began making preparations for a new addition to the park by removing the Firecracker roller coaster from the area encircled by The Freedom Train.

As part of Holidog's FunTown, Holiday World made plans to purchase a small roller coaster that all members of the family, including children, could enjoy.

[4] The Howler uses a single light brown, 12-passenger train that is custom made by Zamperla to resemble Holidog.

The track features a chain lift hill and two block sections, which only allows one train to operate at a time.

Immediately after dispatch the train latches onto the lift hill chain which takes riders 13 feet (4.0 m) in the air.

After crossing under the ride's own track at the end of the helix, the train travels straight before making a banked right turn.
