After The Voyage disappears into the forest it takes a while for it to reappear down by it's third ninety degree banked turn under the lift hill.



When it does reappear it is flying as should be expected after coming over the top of the hill and down the hundred or so foot vertical change between the safety brake and the valley below.



The speed The Voyage has going into the finale is mind blowing and the coaster still hasn't broken in.  I think it is safe to say The Holiday World has one heck of a ride on their hands.



One thing that surprised me was how quiet The Voyage is.  There is a low hum as it goes by but with the steel structure it is nowhere as loud as The Legend which I could hear testing in the background.



Once through the tangle of track for its finale The Voyage speeds up into the brake run.

I know my words don't really do justice as to how fast The Voyage was running so I took a video clip of it from my camera for you to see.  The video is about six megabytes so if you are not on a high speed internet connection it is going to take a while for it to load up.
