The Howler is a small steel family roller coaster at Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana. It is themed to Holidog, the park's mascot, and sits in Holidog's FunTown in the 4th of July section, next to the Just for Pups play area. It was built by Zamperla and opened on May 8, 1999.
The ride is 13 feet tall and runs on 262 feet of track with gentle drops and quick turns, and it has no inversions. Its single train has six cars, each holding two riders who share a lap bar and seat belt. Riders must be at least 42 inches tall to ride alone, or 36 inches with a companion, which makes it a first coaster for many young children.
