Holiday World & Splashin' Safari Santa Claus, Indiana
2006 Construction Update
December 31, 2005
Work on The Voyage hasn't stopped
due to the holidays. The third hill has received bundles of wood
to eventually be laid down as track.
My little surprise at coming
home from Christmas with family was this section of track coming out
of The Voyage's seventh tunnel.
Moving a bit further down the
road you can see more of the track. You are going to come flying
out of that tunnel and this hill should be the last pop of The Voyage's
24.2 seconds of airtime.
After cresting that hill The Voyage
will dive into yet another tunnel on the other side of the crane.
The Voyage will come out of the tunnel exit that is just to the right
of the crane's base. If you look just under the crane's boom you
can also see The Voyage's brake run.
My heart still starts to race at
the sight of the Voyage and it is so huge that parts of it can be seen
from all the highways that head into Santa Claus, IN. We just
have 125 days to go until Holiday World & The Voyage's opening day.
