A national magazine names The Voyage roller coaster at Holiday World the planet’s #1 “Roller Coaster That Will Scare You Absolutely Silly.”
Real Simple magazine, which has a monthly circulation of nearly two million, lists the top coasters in April’s special travel issue.
The listing, which is also available online at www.realsimple.com/triptips, declares The Voyage is “the be-all and end-all of wooden coasters.”
At 1.2 miles long, The Voyage includes a record five underground tunnels (some are double, creating eight “underground moments”), a series of dramatic drops (including a 66-degree angle of descent on the first drop), three 90-degree banked turns, and multiple track crossovers. It has 24.2 seconds of “air-time,” more than any other wooden coaster in the world.
One of Holiday World’s other coasters, The Raven, also makes the list. Real Simple describes its #9 choice as, “…this bird packs huge thrills.”
Holiday World opens for the season on May 5, with the premiere of Turkey Whirl, a themed tilt-a-whirl ride; Splashin' Safari opens for the season on May 12 with the new Bakuli family water slide. For additional information logon to: www.holidayworld.com or call 1-877-Go-Family.
