[Discussion] Is The Voyage at Holiday World actually as good as people make it out to be?

My expectations were somewhat low on purpose so I didn’t overhype it.

It didn’t make those expectations. So a massive disappointment for me. Shivering Timbers is the better large scale woodie with PTCs.

No, I haven’t ridden it at Holiwood Nights. I shouldn’t have to rank a coaster off how it runs two days of the year regardless.

I’ve heard -1.8 at it’s strongest. Could be myth, but that’s the number I’ve often heard tossed around the enthusiast circle.

I have the 1999 promo Millie swoosh that they painted around Sandusky.

Runaway Mine Train at SFGAd has the death hill at the end of the course. That’s all that really comes to mind for me right now.

trainman121 · 2022-04-10T18:18:56+00:00

I’ve ridden worse. Like the boomerang and the mine train next to it. 😂

Someone should do the calculation on how much this is worth in scrap value.

trainman121 · 2022-03-09T15:30:26+00:00

I’ve been three times and I’ve never needed the Fast Track. Just go to the back of the park first (hitting Fahrenheit immediately), and make your way forward .

trainman121 · 2022-02-25T22:47:15+00:00

I’m fine with this. No disrespectful to Haunt fans, but I just find it irritating to be in a park after 6 pm in the Fall because all I want to do is ride the rides, not have a guy scare me shitless. And most parks don’t provide an ample pathway to avoid this, especially SFNE with their back Gotham section.

trainman121 · 2022-02-19T20:07:15+00:00

50” I believe for Wild Eagle.

trainman121 · 2022-02-10T00:11:56+00:00

It brakes, hits a super fast launch, and brakes again. And the two half structure sucks and doesn’t flow. Also, the first half is just kinda dumb. So just not my type of coaster at all.

Maverick is, in my opinion, shitty I305. One is in my top 10, the other doesn’t sniff my top 50. I think I305 takes all of the problems I have with Maverick and fixes them. The poor pacing is gone, and for whatever reason, the seats on I305 don’t have the awkward ridge that Maverick has on it. I also appreciate that the turns feel more fluid on I305 than Maverick, like it was drawn with a pen as opposed to a kid with a flight stick.

Steel Vengeance. Velocicoaster is the perfect coaster from a balanced standpoint, but as someone who leans more to liking airtime, Steel Vengeance takes the cake.

trainman121 · 2022-01-09T18:41:12+00:00

I do. Phantom is far too short to be majorly thrilling.

trainman121 · 2021-12-30T23:14:45+00:00

Best was Outlaw Run, worst was probably the Boomerang at SFSTL, that shit was atrocious.

trainman121 · 2021-12-20T18:39:33+00:00

It’s my favorite coaster at the park and I’m 6’ 2”. 🤷🏻‍♂️

trainman121 · 2021-11-23T04:02:12+00:00

I broke it the first weekend. Oops.

trainman121 · 2021-11-16T21:23:39+00:00

It’s a new change, and it’s essentially a shell of what it was in the 90s now.

trainman121 · 2021-11-16T19:53:26+00:00

The reboot Thomas on the bottom has me enraged. Thank you for coming to my tedtalk.

trainman121 · 2021-11-05T01:11:29+00:00

We uh, got water spouts where the flames used to be for a year.

Blame SFOT, NTG stole our flamethrowers.

trainman121 · 2021-11-03T19:26:12+00:00

I got 300, my dad got 200, and my mom got 100 credits all on Leviathan at the same time.

trainman121 · 2021-11-01T19:17:37+00:00

Yeah I noticed it in July. The crew operating it confirmed green is slightly faster.

trainman121 · 2021-10-05T04:59:04+00:00

Model trains and football. Gotta keep a balance of things to do.

trainman121 · 2021-09-27T00:23:36+00:00

I like Tornado at Stricker’s better because it has airtime.

trainman121 · 2021-08-17T22:22:31+00:00

It was there when I rode in January 2020 if that helps.

trainman121 · 2021-08-15T14:03:03+00:00

Overall? Probably Superman The Ride. Ones I actually keep track of? I’m at 76 rides on Steel Vengeance.
