The out run is just a nice string of airtime filled hills and then you get down under the canopy of trees and The Voyage isn't so nice.



The point where you cross the crest of the hill that The Voyage was constructed over through the turnaround, and back until you hit the brakes at the end of the ride The Voyage isn't smooth sailing.  You can either give yourself to the ride by putting your hands in the air and screaming your head off or you better hold on for your life.



There is so much force going into The Voyage's finale that you kind of understand how a coaster like the legendary Harry Traver designed Crystal Beach Cyclone ended up having a short life span because the ride literally shook itself apart.



Holiday World certainly has always had a monster on their hands with this coaster and I applaud them for keeping it running as well as it still is.



Unfortunately the experience of ride crews not caring an ounce and slowly loading trains was repeated during our time with The Voyage.  With each ride it was dawning on me that the Holiday World of the past might really be in the past.
