It is not just me as take a look on everyone's faces in this photo.  Not a single person is having a bad time.  There is a train full of smiles there and in this day and age of bad news everywhere we turn this is what the worlds needs more of.

The Thunderbird Media Preview Day wasn't all about Thunderbird as The Voyage was up and running for us as well.

For the Media Preview Day Holiday World had a mount for those in attendance to mount our GoPro cameras to Thunderbird and we were allowed to take it on The Voyage and other rides as long as it was attached to our bodies with an approved manner.  Just a little warning do not take any camera or cell phone on Holiday Worlds coasters to film as you will be kicked out of the park.

I am completely enamored with my GoPro Hero 4 Silver as it will take video and photos at the same time which is how I got the on ride photos of Bond and myself on Thunderbird along with these shots of The Voyage.

It has been nine years since The Voyage opened.

It is not a new ride anymore but it sure feels like one as since my last visit it has received a lot of track work.
