The Voyage

Roller coaster
Minimum height to ride: 48 inches

About The Voyage

The Voyage made its debut on opening day in 2006 as part of the Thanksgiving section. This 1.2 mile wooden roller coaster provides 24.2 seconds of "air-time", five underground tunnels, three 90-degree banked turns, dramatic drops, and multiple track crossovers at a maximum speed of 67.4 mph.

For 2010, Holiday World will 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. -- Last edited by Robert Niles

Huge ride, very fast and a bit rough. It throws so many different elements at you that it is hard to remember everything you saw. It is so long that it puts the Raven to shame. I have a huge problem with the loading procedures at Holiday World. They spend the first 2 minutes of the train loading by putting everyone's "stuff" away for them. Phones, purses, toys, hats, etc.. Claim checks and lockers for some things. This makes the lone go way too slow. Busch gardens doesn't allow extra items in line, making trains load much faster, Holiday World should learn from them. - Phil Noteware

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

One of my personal top 5 favorite rides! Great air, great height, wonderful views, and fast! highly recommend this to any coaster enthusiast. - Don Neal

If you think this is the best wooden roleercoaster. you people obviously have never ridden EL Toro at SFGAv. - Justin Spisto

I wouldn't expect this coaster to hold up well, unless the park puts tons and I mean tons of effort keeping it up. This is the kind of woodie that will rip its track up very quickly. - Dan Forget

Wow, This ride was more than I expected! I was there in the first couple of months of the rides opening and wow that air time is crazy, I love the 90 degree turns and everything about the ride. - Zack Wilson
