Holiday World & Splashin' Safari Santa Claus, Indiana
Stark Raven Mad May 5, 2000 Page One
Every summer there's one thing that
many coaster enthusiasts dream of (including myself) and that's one
of the best enthusiasts events of the year (the other is
Phoenix Phall
Phunfest) and that is Stark Raven Mad. This year marked the
debut of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The Legend is a monster
terrain coaster from Custom Coasters International who also created
the wonderful Raven. Here's the Legend's lift hill.
Of course with The Legend of Sleepy
Hollow as inspiration the station had to be old Icabod Crane's school
house. The wonderful people at Holiday World even included a chalk
board and school bell to get you ready for "class".
The Legend has a great swoop curve
at the top of the lift to give you a nice thrill before sending you
on an intense romp through the woods with the Headless Horseman in tow!
Remember...don't look back.
Here's a nice shot of the Legend
from the Raven's station. You can see the lift as well as the
Legend's double helix with it's two wicked tunnels.
