The Voyage looks like a giant erector set.

There's still a ways to go but there is still something like 222 days to go until The Voyage opens to the public.

I did hear the word "re-profile" come out of Will Koch's mouth but not to worry because it's just for the Bamboo Chute (the tan slide) so they they can squeeze the walkway down into the new Thanksgiving section. One of the Bamboo Chute's turns is going to be tightened and that section will end up with a tunnel due to the sharper turn.

Here's where the Voyage's eighth tunnel is going to start. The foundation off to the upper left is where the station is going to be.

These footers jut right up to one of Holiday World's access roads and is pretty near where The Voyage is going to fly out of tunnel number seven right before diving into its final tunnel and into the brake run.

Thanks to Will Koch, Paula Werne and everyone else at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari for their hard work and for inviting me to come and have a stroll through the woods with them. Also thank you to everyone with The Gravity Group and about sixteen other companies who are involved in making The Voyage a reality.

I'll be back around The Voyage next week during the Coasterbuzz Fall Affair event so check back on Sunday to see what has happened this week.
