Midgetman82 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I thought last year there was a full moon out? I'm hearing (from the Holiwood Nights Facebook group) that there's going to be no moon during this year's event. Even with little light pollution from Thunderbird Plaza, I'm betting the spaghetti bowl might be just dark enough if the moon stays hidden.

neil009 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Ok, it was not the moon, it was a light. Pointed at the track. Either there's (at least sometimes) a floodlight lighting up the spaghetti bowl or aliens are implanting memories in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drummermattk Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Hi guys! So my first trip to Holiday World is thursday thanks to an agreement between Kings Island and Holiday world to let KI associates and a guest with them in for free, anyways, It would help me out tremendously if you guys had suggestions on what to hit first, and what to hit last. I plan on riding every coaster, Lines for those wont bother me as much as they do for disney...... I dont plan on going to the waterpark though, I might, but really dont plan on it. I also plan on staying a full day. After my trip from Disneyworld (for the first time) and Holiday world is complete I will add a Trip Report. Thanks guys!

ZeroGravity55 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 ^ I CANNOT stress this enough.....Do the waterpark for at least Mammoth and Wildebeest. You would missing out what could be argued as the two best rides in either park. Â New POV of The Legend! Â [fbvideonew] [/fbvideonew] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestreak Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Holy crap that looks smooth... can't wait to ride it later this summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Holy crap that looks smooth... can't wait to ride it later this summer! Â Let me be clear. While the video looks smooth but it's still got an attitude to it. The retracked portions ride great but it will still kick you around when it wants to. The laterals are insane throughout. Â Also, that video must have been filmed first thing in the morning with an empty train because it HAULS all the way through to the brakes.

tubs023 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 The Voyage 1st year no lights at night in the rain. I thought I had gone to heaven. My wife on the other hand thought she had entered hell. Have not been on a roller coaster since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â There aren't any lights on the Voyage spaghetti bowl at all, and they even changed the camera light on the block brake to infared years ago. I did notice last year, however, that lights from Thuderbird's brake run were visible, and this is most likely what you saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILinator Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 My memory from last year is very faint light on The Voyage as well. Possibly the Thunderbird brake run, or the moonlight. But I certainly don't recall any floodlights! (Also, I got two untrimmed rides that trip! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless it was a lot more light than I was expecting, which was none at all. Â The new POV looks good. I'm still a little disappointed by the changes but I'm at least convinced that it'll still be a top 5 ride for me when I go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleparks77 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 The Voyage 1st year no lights at night in the rain. I thought I had gone to heaven. My wife on the other hand thought she had entered hell. Have not been on a roller coaster since. I remember riding the Legend at the night the first year and agree with this. When we came up the lift hill and made the turn right before the drop, there was a full moon right in front of us. Then we hear the howl and plunge into darkness.

ZeroGravity55 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Here's a reverse POV of The Legend Reborn. The backseat is the best seat on this ride, IMO. Â [fbvideonew] [/fbvideonew] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelated85 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Voyage - Holy flipping crap, greatest wooden coaster I've ever been on that's not an RMC. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest. This ride is flat out nuckin' futs from beginning to end. Absolutely zero chance to breathe, never lets up on speed, has airtime and laterals out the yin yang, a bunch of tunnels, holy wow this thing is awesome! I had some people warn me that it'll beat me up but I didn't get that at all! We rode in the front and back throughout the day and never had any roughness issues. I know they've been working on retracking here and there so it seems that it's certainly helping because this coaster is a national treasure! I want to find the guys who engineered it and find out what magical powers they harnessed to make it run so fast all the way into the final brakes! They've clearly broken the rules of physics! I can't say enough good things about this ride. I love it. Love love love love LOVE it! Back row I felt was slightly better than the front but I think that's mainly because I was getting giddy watching the train snake through the course in front of us. Â This made me smile. Love hearing someone fall in love with this ride the way I did. For the amount of complaining you hear about this ride, you'd think it was designed for the seventh layer of hell. Every time I hop in my magic seat- front row of the last car- I'm reminded how far the Voyage excels above any other traditional woodie. Sits right at the top of my favorites list with Outlaw Run and El Toro- I refuse to compare the three with each other, and decided that they all win 'best in show'. In regards to quantity of air, laterals, and sustained intensity though, Sinead said it best- "nothing compares...". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 All this talk of night rides on Voyage has me so bummed to miss Holiwood Nights this year. Planned on it being my first one after visiting a few weeks too late a few years ago, but it looks like it's gonna wait until next year. Â I dont plan on going to the waterpark though, I might, but really dont plan on it. This is a mistake! Seriously, even if you just go for Mammoth and Wildebeest, check it out. Those two rides are better than half the coasters I've been on, no exaggeration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ape Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 We didn't make it to the water park on our first visit and I have regretted it sense. I at the very least am going to go in and do Wildabeast and Mammoth. I am hoping like most would for light crowds this Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager6442 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I'm getting ready to head out the door for HoliWood Nights. If anyone would like to meet up for some rides, just shoot me an e-mail. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A W Reezy Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I can't get over how great the Legend is after they refurbed part of the track. Went 2 days ago and loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpizzle Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Hey guys, I am going to Kansas City and will be passing by Holiday World and Kentucky Kingdom. However, I only have time to go to one. Which would you all recommend? I am torn because I want to get on Storm Chaser (Wicked Cyclone is the only RMC I have been on), but Holiday World seemes to have a better overall coaster collection. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 why not both? you can easily spend 2 hours at KK and get everything done with time to spare . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpizzle Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 If it were just me, that is what I would do. However, I am with others who only want to do 1 park (ridiculous right!?!?!?) so I have to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 ^ Do you prefer incredible wooden coasters and a kickass waterpark or would you prefer two airtime machines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpizzle Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 We won't be going to the waterpark, and it is hard to turn down airtime . . . unfortunately there is someone in the group that doesn't ride coasters and Holiday World just seems like a nicer overall park. Tough decision! Thanks for the input so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
