Leave it to Holiday World to make Thanksgiving feel like Christmas in the middle of April!

(and yes you can quote me on that!)

Paula, the story about you and James at the hospital was really touching...my work for Children's Medical Services may seem tedious to me at times, but when I read a story like that, the "big picture" becomes infinitely more clear....thanks! :)

Is anyone taking pictures of the train running? Or just of the lucky folks getting to watch it in awe?? :)

Aw...you're welcome, Bill.

I've received tons of emails from people who told me it made them cry (2:1 men!).

Well they're still testing it because I just saw it "fly" around the curve through the lift hill. Weeeeee!

I survived a Japanese typhoon and the Togo flat ride of death!!!!!!

I'm glued to the Holiblog!

Paula's posting pictures about every 10-15min, and now she just got the first one up with the train out heading to the lifthill, taken from the station. EXCITING.

The webcam is borked, it's flipping between train on lift and no train at all. :(

Paula, you are so AWESOME!!! Thanks for the pics, it is so good to see the Voyage testing. The two most recent things I am looking forward to is Thunder over Louisville(only because it is Saturday) and riding this bad boy...or seeing a video of it cresting the first 3 hills. That leads me to a question. Will you all be putting any video footage of testing up on the holiblog?

I cried, Im glad James is still with us!

It also reminds me to be a little nicer to others as you never know what they are/have gone through.

TY Paula.

Check out the holiblog. Looks like Voyage had its first riders.

Now if only Will can write a trip report, and tell us how it was.

Sounds like the Gravity Guys are up to their old tricks. If the numbers on the website are to be believed, the ride comes in fifteen seconds short.

And that's before it's had a chance to break in!
