The Voyage reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for The Voyage, a roller coaster at Holiday World. (The minimum height to ride is 48 inches.)
Written by James Rao This 1.2-mile coaster provides five underground tunnels, three 90-degree banked turns, dramatic drops, and multiple track crossovers at a maximum speed of 67 mph. At some point, Holiday World plans to install new, Timberliner trains on the coaster, with larger seats and adjusting wheels, designed to provide a smoother, faster ride, with less wear on the track. This beast is currently the #1 ranked wooden coaster on the planet (Amusement Today 2011), and has held that position five years in a row. [Update this description | Read previous versions]

Take away the mid-way break stop and you have a perfect roller caster. Until then, the best woody is Hades at Mt. Olympus, which is even more intense, much scarier, also very long and wildly unique. Hade's super long tunnel features a scary 'high speed' plummet in pitch darkness and also includes "trick track" on the return. The tiny opening drops will freak you out. This rough ride gets roughest at the end with a figure-8 finale... Hades takes no prisoners. It's not for wimps! Voyage gets a 9, Hades gets a 10! - Russell Fox First year it was wild and smooth however, I felt it was almost too much. Probably the last part of ride could have been eliminated and I would have liked it better. This sounds weird, but I got tired of it during the last section as wild as it is! - Frank Czuri WAY TO ROUGH! It was a fun and fast experience but was too rough for me. It is my 7th favorite roller coaster though! A Commendable edition to the park. - Dakota S At 45, my internal shock absorbers no longer allow me to ride wooden roller coasters as often as before. But, I have rode this coaster multiple times in a day, and have been able to still climb on the Raven or the Legend on the way out of the park. Holiday World's wooden coasters are some of the greatest in the world. - Russell Reichard The Voyage is situated at the back of the park in the Thanksgiving area. It is a beautiful collection of wood measuring 1.2 miles in length and if it is not the best wooden coaster in the nation, it is definitely in the top two. Amazing and unrelenting from start to finish, the Voyage is loaded with drops, 90-degree turns, tunnels, and air time moments. This coaster is an absolute monster! If you are a wooden coaster fan you owe it to yourself to ride The Voyage. It is worth the price of admission. - James Rao This is, by far, the most amazing coaster I have ever ridden. The Voyage so fast, intense, crazy, and brutal, that I was left nearly speechless after each & every one of my 20+ rides. Words really cannot begin to explain this experience, & it really is a force that needs to be experienced first-hand [especially at night]. - Erin B More attraction and restaurant ratings:
