PKI Jizzman Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) Hey everyone! I had fantastic day at Holiday World last week, and it was my first visit in three or four years. I have only visited in the Spring, so I can't comment on "How is the Voyage, I hear it has been rough??!!" Because every time I've ridden it, it feels the same. Just the right amount of a wooden coaster roughness combined with an incredibly unique layout that combines crazy airtime, speed, and laterals. I believe it might be the best coaster out there! The Raven was great, as usual. I rode it with only one other person on the train and it felt like the train was full! I'm not a huge fan of the Legend, I rode it in the very front and very back; you know the story. Crazy laterals and a kick ass first drop. I also rode pretty much every flat ride except for the water rides because it was 50-60* out the whole day. In total I had about 15 or so rides on the Voyage, 4 on Raven, and 2 on Legend. Thanks SO MUCH to Holiday World for the Pilgrim's Café dinner, free admission, hospitality, walk back, and ERT!!! Enjoy the photos! -Zach Sparkler, much more fun than the Windseekers! This is how the sky looked most of the day. But it got sunny for ERT! This ride is massive! One of the many insane moments of airtime! Lots and lots and lots of coaster fans here today. Though I was one of the few TPR members! Flying around at nearly 70mph! The ride is nuts! Tons of beautiful wooden track Nearly 170ft tall! I forgot how huge the first hill is. Amazing. Great floaty air of the first 3 hills Hair explosion! I think this hill coming out of the triple down is my favorite part of the ride. What's yours? Look at all the nerds! The third hill is still 100ft tall! Coming out of the 2nd 90* turn. Don't you love terrain rides? OMG THE SUN CAME OUT I bet at most CF/SF parks kids would be flippin' the bird to the camera. Not at Holiday World! Crazy twistiness! Lots of rain means a beautiful green, lush forest. Let me see your hands! Just a small sample of this massive wooden coaster. All of the Holiday World wooden coasters have lots of tunnels! Giant. Hmmm what is this over here? Eventually we'd see that pieces of paper with the 66daysatsea.com were in there! The anticipation begins. Glorious hills More pictures on the way soon! Edited May 20, 2014 by PKI Jizzman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piedude81 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Great TR! It's been a long time since I've been to Holiday World (4 years... before I was an enthusiast). However, these pictures of the Voyage make me want to go down and ride it! Admittedly, 9 year old me chickened out of The Voyage, so I've never gotten to experience it, but with Kentucky Kingdom a short drive away, a weekend visit might be in the making!

PKI Jizzman Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Raven is so hard to photograph, and since I hadn't been there in years I was really trying to ride the rides. As you can see from the photos it was a crappy day to take photos (with on and off rain early and dark clouds 90% of the day). I also ran into my old room mate from the Texas trip 2009 at the event, big shout out to LUKO! Nice to see you again! Hey there are other rides besides Voyage! This is the most you can see of Raven inside the park. See the dark wood? Fresh rides after the rain B) Do you see something missing here? Nothing that miss! The trip would not be complete with out Turkey sho..I mean calling challenge! Luko and other ACERs getting their whorish credits in. Gettin' down and dirty with Holidog Here's another look at the beautiful Raven. An excellent anti-Beast coaster. Seriously, there was an Acer trying to argue with his/her kid about whether Voyage was a wood/steel coaster. But first, let me take a selfie. Standing where Pilgrim's Plunge/Giraffica's tower was! Everything is pretty much there except for the tower. Voyage's computer system security gets 1/10. Let's get a rare look at the maintenance bay! A look from the transfer track What's going on under there? Let's CHECK IT OUT We're under the Voyage! Someone made a big mess down here! Rejoyce! the sun came out for ERT! AND they added a 2nd train for us! Holiday World, you're too nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
