Heading past The Raven towering over the road is The Legend's massive double helix.



Since Bond and I were last at Holiday World in 2015 The Legend has been radically transformed.  The run from the helix to the station has been completely rebuilt and massively re-profiled by Great Coasters International.  The Legend's ending used to be known as the "four corners of death" with some extreme laterals which would send riders on the old seat divider-less Gerstlauer trains slamming back and forth into each other.



The four corners are no more as a few of the high points have been lowered, the turns have been banked more and this tunnel was added to the dip under the log flume.  I really like the addition of the tunnel as with The Legend being themed after "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" a covered bridge is a central part of that tale.  If Ichabod could make it to the covered bridge he would be safe from the Headless Horseman.  It is nice seeing a bit of theming added to the coaster.



Even The Legend's insane final turn was completely redone by GCI.



So you have The Legend's finale completely redone and they also rebuilt The Legend's first drop my question is when I ride The Legend 2.0 later this summer is will it count as a new credit?
