65skylark Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I'm there. Got that whole week off so now I just need to figure out what else I can fit in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasai Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I'd go, but that red background made me decide against it  Something tells me that will be an enthusiass filled event. I think I'll pass. Sounds fairly good though...  It is. But Holiday World makes it so fun that it makes that fact irrelevant. It's amazing how much nice and efficient employees can make things so much better. Where else do you have maintenance workers come up and ask you if you like how their coasters are running and if they can be improved?  I think parktrips is referencing a particular "buzzing" group...not the community as a whole...  Jarvis "enthusi " Morant!  I find it incredibly moronic to state that an entire group of people who peruse another coaster site (of which I'm also a member) might be somehow lumped in with said enthusiasses.  If anything, that comment plants you firmly amongst them.

robbalvey Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 I dunno, every time I went over to that site to simply post about something I had information on, I got yelled at, much like the post above...so what do you expect people to say? Â Anyway, can we please keep this on topic about Holiday World's event and not talk about CoasterBuzz? Â Thanks. Â --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgodsey Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I think that club (jeff hates you club) is pretty large Robb. Welcome brother! Â Â I would like to point out that RideWorld club members can attend this event (one of 9 clubs). We are also the cheapest enthusiast club out there at $10/year.

BLSTKRDR Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 This might have been mention already but holiday worlds new coaster the voyage is going to break a few records : 8 "underground moments" 24.2 seconds of weightlessness  Also it has a 154' drop a 107' drop and a 100' drop. So what does every one think about holiday world expanding and getting bigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Its my 2nd most anticipated new coaster of the year. I am looking foward to riding it in June. By the way, welcome to the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 This may be just a rumor but I heard its gonna have 3 thats right count em' 3 90 degree banked turns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSTKRDR Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Thanks for the welcome. I've just learned about it and it really surprised me that holiday world is getting a coaster of this size. It seems like holiday world is starting to become a bigger theme park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Welcome to TPR! Â Â Next time though, use the search feature fisrt. That way, you can bump up old threads about the Voyage, instead of creating new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Ok, so I have gone ahead and merged several Voyage construction and update threads, so if you have new information or want to discuss the ride, especially now that it's opening is only a few months away, post it here! Â I'll start with some new photos that appeared on the Holiday World Blogthis week: Another shot looking backwards from the top! Here was a photo taken just two days ago and what it will look like going down the first drop! A look at the ride as of last Thursday. Looking up the lift hill!

Hattuchili Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Hmm, it looks like I found another credit for this year!  --Sören Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dailey Enterprizes Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I just watched the video and it looks Hadesish! Actualy, I did point out some slow points to the coaster which is no surprise to me, but I would prefer a shorter track circuit like the Raven's in which it gives you no time to see whats happening. Im not saying Voyage is going to suck, but its gonna lack that uniqueness I like. Yes, I know im picky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 That was a computer rendering with a program thats known to have higher than normal friction levels for wooden coasters. Â Plus it an out and back. Duh, it wont have the uniquness of a sprawled out layout like Raven. Unless a triple down into a tunnel isnt unique. Those are just oh so common these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Rider Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 After rereading all posts in this thread, I've decide to share my thoughts. Â Thanks Robb for posting updated photos. Â I confess, The Voyage has been on my mind every day since it was announced. I check out Holiday World's web cam several times a day and am always looknig for new pictures on holiblog. Â Will the ride live up to it's anticipation? I think it will. The Koch family and Holiday World staff are serious about their coasters and frankly know what they're doing. Â Concerning the name: I love it. It's a perfect name for the Thanksgiving section. Imagine being part of the first voyage from Europe to America. I also like the name becasue it has 2 syllables like the Raven and the Legend. Plus a coaster ride is a voyage of sorts and this one is sure to be fun. Â I'll be there opening weekend, Holiwood Nights, and several times throughout the season. I hope to meet many of you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterCrazy Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 The 90 degree banked turn looks awesome! Â I'm really looking forward to riding this thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACEfanatic02 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Just watched the POV video for this... Â Amazing. Figures they have to build it on the other side of the country from me. Â Somehow, though, 90 degree banking on a woodie just seems... odd. Â -ACE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
