The Voyage roller coaster at Holiday World, Santa Claus, Indiana

First off the rough spot half the way up the second hill was gone.

With that all smoothed out it was airtime up and over the top of that hill with your rear end leaving the seat half the way up and not touching back down until the train returns to ground level.

The turnaround has had a bunch of work and it is still as out of control as always.  The mid course brake was on but even with the rides momentum taken you still have a hundred feet of hill to wind down as The Voyage takes the serpentine course through the trees and itself as it gets faster and faster heading back towards the station.

Hitting this turn The Voyage is still going all out assailing riders with speed, g forces and ferocity for one of the most intense finishes of any coaster today.

Case in point you need to take a few minutes when heading down into Thanksgiving and stand watching trains speed on by.  You will notice that it is kind of rare seeing a rider with their hands up as The Voyage speeds through here.  Most people are holding on for life against the onslaught of The Voyage's finale.
