Koasterking48 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Since I was unable to attend Banshee's media day last year, this will be my first media day and I am curious how this event will work out. Hope to get many laps in tomorrow! Also, those pictures from the employee night look great. Edited April 23, 2015 by Koasterking48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJLehto Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 ^ Wow... that looks absolutely amazing. So amazing that I'm actually considering driving for 12 hours to ride it. Same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 TPR just tweeted this photo outside of Holiday World. It looks so big! Really looking forward to reading everyone's reports tomorrow and finally to see this in person on Saturday. Sorry for the double post, but I love how Hyena Falls has friends now! Before it just was way out there by itself but I feel like now it fits into the layout of the park more cohesively than before. Very good placement on all three rides HW! It's still extremely out of place, considering it's part of Splashin' Safari and is a good 10 minute walk from the other water park attractions. But like Paula has said, it's all part of HW's plan, so I'm sure within a few years it won't be a problem anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamico2 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I would love to see some body slides (drop box, maybe) traveling through the Voyage structure, to transport guests between the two areas of the water park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows though, holiday World has worked with Proslide multiple times in the past to develop new designs and technology, so we could see some major water rides unlike anything else in America.

10ryansmith Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Going along the thinking of a "water transport" system, what about something like what the Atlantis properties have with The River/Current. Mile long water pathway to and from one side of The Voyage, and it would allow them to keep expanding the waterpark in that general direction as they could also build a "river path" following one leg of the river ride. Just a though. On the note of Thunderbird, everything looks fan-freaking-tastic (as my sister would say). I know this is Holiday World and this level of (for a lack of a better word) greatness is to be expected, but geez. And this is all on top of what I have to say had to be the best teaser campaign that I have ever seen (granted limited years) from a park. I'm just really bummed that I wont be able to get back to the park (or the Midwest for that matter) till the middle of 2016... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Looks a bit faster than I thought on the video. Hope it is a forceful one like Parrot Coaster, the speed through the loop is pretty promising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would it compare to other wingriders? Way better than Gatekeeper IMO. I haven't ridden any others, but I briefly spoke with Robb and he agreed.

Thrilryder29 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 The Voyage will have its mid course brake set to stop this season. I was surprised by it on my first ride this morning. One of the coaster maintanence guys was standing at the control panel when we got back. He confirmed that it will be on all season, except for Holiwood Nights. I asked him how easy it was to change it back to just a trim and he went to the control panel and switched it back to the old program! This is one of the reasons I love this park so much!

coasterbill Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I don't generally agree with the enthusiast consensus on wingriders. Personally I really love them so if this ride is getting positive reviews from people that aren't big fans of the other wingriders that makes me even more excited to ride it.
