This is amazing! Hopefully I can get a trip down there next year (or for Coaster Con '07) to ride.

I think Voyage is like 170 feet tall, but due to the topography the first drop will be around 150 feet.

If I get an invite, I may head down for Media Day, otherwise, would only go for an event down there, or a random mid summer trip with that and Beech Bend.

I thought May 6 was going to be the first public rides of the year? I was going to loop through Holiday World and Kings Island in one trip.

On the Coasterbuzz Podcast today, they announced the new element is a 3rd 90 degree banked turn.

Some other features, the queue house will have 3 levels. All three levels will have views into one of the tunnels, and plenty other close up views with the ride.

Construction is right on track, and thats it!

This coaster looks great so far, and it looks like it will be very intense and have great air time. Those pics are just making the wait until I go to HW even harder.
