DerekRx Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Dude, awesome photos, and I totally love the captions. Something tells me Holiday World won't look like that next weekend. I'm still shocked that you'd rather throw pancakes at Elissa than eat them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Palooza Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 The videos and photos are great! It looks like you both had a good time. Your videos are so entertaining. I'm looking forward to both these parks next weekend. Hopefully we can see you this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Just as a note - I've added streaming versions of both videos in the thread in the Members Only forum. Enjoy! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 For the record I'm not so much sad as pathetic on Howler, and at least I learned Jeff isn't THAT pathetic (re Avatar) LOL @ Pankakes Nice photoshop job on the Carraba's pic, ok off to download Rumbler video that's better than mine. - Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Wow, I must say Voyage looks AMAZING! Im so excited to go for HWN, even if there are like 10,000 peopls going. Great update as usuial! EDIT: Almost forgot, when was the 3rd 90* banked turn thrown into the mix? I though it was only going to be like 70-75* and not 90. Thats pretty odd, the layout did change a little bit from the released layout, but hey Im not complaining! Colin C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Maven Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 when was the 3rd 90* banked turn thrown into the mix? That was back in October. The Gravity Group guys went to Will with several options for tweaking that little piece of track and he chose to add a third 90*. Paula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 ^Can you tell us what some of the other options were? Now, on topic. Great update, guys! Funny as always, with some great coaster dorkiness thrown in there (insert HUZZAH here) I really wanna go to Holiday World!!! --Tyler *EDIT: POST #1100 was about The Voyage * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Maven Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 ^Can you tell us what some of the other options were? I think the other main option was another hill -- but it was nothing significant enough to catch Will's attention. Btw, I know Robb and Elissa like to kid around...but I want to set the record straight about that duck ... it was seriously chasing us! It sort of freaked me out.

Corkscrewed Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Off to the members' forum to download the vids, but that was an awesome update! Both coasters look absolutely amazing, and it is just wonderful to see all these new incredible woodies sprouting up. Keep this up and we may be in line for another golden age!

Pelydr Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Man, Holiday World looks like such a great park. I really need to make my over there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Someday, I will be able to get on the Voyage. (One of my friends has several family members in Indiana, so it might be very soon.) Really nice updates. You should be glad the Looping Star wasn't as bad as the one at Mundo Divertido, where the restraints were worn down to the metal.

BudtheWeiser Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Great report Rob glad you all had fun That Looping star looks almost as bad as the one we have on Brighton Pier always makes me think im going for a swim when I get to the top of the lifthill.

jamesdillaman Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Holiday World, Best woodie park hands down. No doubt anymore. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookbaby Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 What a great update! Course I'm probably partial because there is a picture of me in it! Btw, upon leaving the park I realized that I introduced myself by my screen name and then neglected to tell you guys my real one (which is Laura)! hahaha! It was great to meet you guys!

Bush985 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Can't wait to ride Voyage in a few weeks. That trip can't come any faster. -RD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...coasters... Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Well, I also forgot to introduce myself at Holiday World... I was the guy with Laura AKA "Spookbaby" who took the picture, my name is Thomas. Check out our trip report when I get it posted... it shall be unlike anything you've ever seen... ya know, except for other trip reports and the like.

MARK Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 How does this woodie compare to Balder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 ^They are very, very different. I prefer Balder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I gather the voyage would be much rougher... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Hey Robb or Elissa or whoever who's been on Voyage, What happens directly after the MCBR? It seems to pick up a ton of speed yet, it doesn't seem like there's that big of a drop, but it is in the dark! EDIT: Was the Brief Encounter name dropped on the pinfari? Nice videos, as usual!
