rwilliam62521 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Looks like we will be getting a test run POV whenever testing resumes. From HW's Facebook: Looks like next week should be good weatherwise...temps going up into 50's and 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Can I view the original concept art POV for the Voyage somewhere? My Youtube search was unsuccessful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 ^ A Google Image search should reveal several pictures of the original concept art and show several spots where the design was changed. Also, go to The Gravity Group's YouTube page. Their Voyage POV video was editied together with some clips from the animation POV to show how accurate the final product was to the original animation.

HolidayWorldFTW Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Wow looks fantastic! And the detail in the station... Wow. Kudos to the guys who made that station look so authentic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdude Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thunderbird looks great. The stations Holiday World has on their coasters are all excellent, and Thunderbird is no exception. I hope I can get back to the park soon to ride it (probably not 2015, but hopefully 2016). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF15 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 It seems to be going a little faster than in the animation, even though it's just the beginning. Once it breaks in it should be running even better. It's interesting to see them testing it with the snow still on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loco Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Perphaps they're launching it faster for testing or the cold but it hauled through that immelman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Wow... Congrats to everyone at Holiday World! I should also note that the train appears to be running with a different set of wheels than the ones that were on the train on the previous page. Perhaps a harder set to help it complete the course?

Nwstone Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 It's nice to see it has that B&M roar to it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayWorldFTW Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Wow... Incredible. So amazingly bizarre to see such a coaster in operation on Holiday World grounds. This just looks incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudvayneimn Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Finally a new B&M with the old school roar! Can't have a name like Thunderbird and have your sound muffled....Oh and the coaster itself looks great too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I'm sorry . . . I was too busy picking my mouth off the floor. THUNDERBIRD, FURY 325, and CANNIBAL are going to slay all other coasters for 2015! Say what you want, but that's how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
