Is that being played faster than it should be? Because that coaster looks like it just flies through that entire ride. It's a very long ride too, espicially for a woodie. I wish I could get down there this summer because that looks like one of the coolest coasters ever.

Voyage is all that..and a bag of chips!

It is super intense - perhaps the most intense coaster I've ever been on. It is the perfect hybrid of an out-and-back and a twister. The first half of the ride is filled with airtime moments. Once you get to the turn around, you have laterals/banked curves/airtime moments and a triple down to die for.

The tunnels are perfectly executed. You can really feel the temperature drop in them.

And..just when you think the ride is going to end, it speeds UP and lasts another 20-30 seconds. It has any feature any wooden coaster lover could love, and more.

I was lucky enough to ride it about 70 times yesterday and am anxious to get a few more rides in tomorrow.

Do yourself a favor and get to HW this year. :)

Nothing else in the Thanksgiving section is open yet. However, the park did give a tour of the yet unfinished Gobbler Getaway on media day. It looks pretty neat. I enjoy Sally Dark rides (even when I lose :)) and this looks like another winner from them.
