This is the greatest coaster experience in the world!! Trimmed, trimless, day or holiwood nights, doesn’t matter…you cannot beat The Voyage!!

[@camdenhochgesang6554]

Truth

[@DankPeezy]

Agreed

[@coastaku1954]

What about El Toro though...

[@camdenhochgesang6554]

@@coastaku1954 doesn’t compare. Sorry. Don’t get me wrong. Toro is my number 2 woodie, but to me The Voyage is just in a league of its own.

[@coastaku1954]

@@camdenhochgesang6554 I need to get to Holiday World then, Too bad it's a little far (I'm near London, ON) but it's not too far from Kings Island, which I have a Platinum Pass for, I can do both, as well as Kentucky Kingdom, I'll call it "The Ohio River Coaster Tour"

[@coastarider]

It is so funny seeing the way Taylor rides coasters, getting whipped around with no expression on his face! 🤣

[@Vots]

I would love to see more POVs of coasters similar to this style. The traditional way of the camera in front of the train doesn’t offer the viewer much perspective. Just the layout. By showing the actual train relative to the track, it helps relay speed on video. And then y’all’s reaction shows the intensity. Really love these styles!

[@Leblribrbrrq]

Indeed! I love to watch the train snake around the track, either from the back looking forwards or from the front looking backwards.

[@Kongrisser]

Man I legit thought we were going to lose Taylor a couple times there. 😂

[@Jesse-td5fk]

At the end he literally almost fell out the train 2:20

[@wg5827]

The Iron Gwazi first reaction was the same way, definitely got nervous.

[@Jai8959]

Right, I was thinking was this safe lol

[@thequackenscoasterchannel2927]

I rode it 3 times on Wednesday and it certainly is an endurance test, and you're right it gives the world's best night rides for sure.

[@technoandrew]

Rode it 10 times on my first ever visit last week. Easily the best wooden coaster I’ve done, and quite possibly my number 1 overall. The airtime and bank turns are great, but the relentless speed really makes the ride. My favourite part was getting to near the end and you’re still screaming through those tunnels under the station.

[@beanboozle4149]

I’m impressed of how holiday world defied the laws of physics with its amazing pacing. The ride still runs fast after the mid course

[@samcrandall3094]

And to think they run CYCLES of it with the trims off at HWN! It’s even faster!

[@williamhoward9121]

Gonna use my coaster nerd here, but Voyage uses polyurethane wheels unlike most wooden coasters which use steel wheels. Polyurethane causes much less friction than steel, allowing it to be such a long ride! Eltoro uses steel wheels and that has drive tires on its brake run if it slows too much on the layout.

[@gopherguts2183]

The entire ride is on a hill, so the midcourse is actually at one of the highest points of that hill. The mid course is only a few feet off the ground, and then the second half is all downhill

[@sprawlz6466]

@@williamhoward9121 El Toro doesn’t use steel wheels

[@jonny-b4954]

@@williamhoward9121 That's not what the drive tires on the brake run are for. Pretty sure they're simply to get the train going if it has to mid-course emergency stop because block ahead isn't clear. Not sure I've ever seen a coaster that has friction wheels that'll boost you if the coaster is running slow.

[@Coaster-Toaster]

I think there are no words to describe the epicness of The Voyage. It´s just out of this world...

[@twistedcoasters1533]

The voyage is the greatest ‘You think your done? Not yet!’ Moment on a coaster

[@georgekowalski8715]

This is my number one and it’s not even close. I have it over velocicoaster and iron gwazi. The feeling you get on this ride is unmatched. The wooden feel + the aggressive layout + the speed + the length makes this feel like a ride that tries to kill you. It is absolutely bonkers and soooo out of control. I love this thing.

[@herbertpocket8855]

Oh man that speed! Watching the cars ahead bounce and twist really sells how wooden coasters are unique

[@caffeinatedtrouble]

This isn't a roller coaster. This is practically a work of art.

[@goldentapes]

This is the first POV that I feel shows what this ride is actually like. Damn!

[@davidreynolds9744]

Got to ride it two weeks ago. It literally took me a full hour to process what I had just experienced. The variation, intensity and length is like no other coaster that I have ridden. It isn't my number one, but only because it is harder to marathon, but it is incredible. I love that coaster.

[@mhtube01]

The Voyage is insane, and that is 100% a compliment. You really captured the relentlessness of this ride, not to mention you were in an empty train! The first time I rode this back in 2019, I started laughing hysterically during the second half of the ride. It just kept getting faster and wouldn't let up. I had to catch my breath at the end and I remember saying going into the station that there was no doubt it was the greatest wooden coaster I had ever ridden let alone one of the greatest overall. As good as the first half of this ride is, I think the trip back to the station starting with that triple down is the most insane part. I plan to go back to Holiday World next year and get some more rides on this amazing coaster along with their other world class rides!

[@goprolowpro]

Will we get a Fønix review? Enjoy the trip :)

[@RapidZCoasters]

After his trip. He doesn't have his "good" mic on him right now.

[@CoasterStudios]

yes, absolutely!

[@triple7marc]

Out of 273, The Voyage is easily my #1. I really can’t think of any roller coaster that will ever beat it for me. I consider expert engineering in my rankings, so this is my #1 and X2 is my #2. Those are the only two roller coasters that have ever thrown me into a laughing fit. It’s just a perfect ride.

[@eatsleeprollercoasterrepea6609]

I’m with ya. My own count is up there too and Voyage is a strong #1. The engineering is phenomenal. It uses the terrain better than any coaster I’ve ever run across.

[@meep_saying_hi5144]

Was there 2 weeks ago and rode voyage 104 times in 3 days which totals me 504 rides on voyage, my largest marathon was on the 2nd day resulting in 42 consecutive rides. Great vid btw! I always look forward to the uploads and your journey ahead! Also realized I had not yet subbed so made sure to do that!

[@meep_saying_hi5144]

Forgot to mention I did about 20 of the rides with a coaster crew member, cool guy

[@clevelandcbi]

​@@meep_saying_hi5144Whats the best empties day to go???

[@danporter2345]

This has always been a bucket list coaster of mine, and 2 weeks ago I finally got to ride it. It was literally everything I expected, yet so much more. Just an amazing, complete ride that found its place all the way up at my number 5 overall. They absolutely killed it with this coaster! Can't wait to get a night ride on this bad boy! I'm pretty sure it's safe to say this is definitely a top-3 woodie in the world!

[@Theme_parchive]

Just rode this masterpiece today! Proud to call this my 100th coaster!

[@rdmcreer]

I just got GOOSEBUMPS and smiled with excitement thinking back to my first time riding and why this is my NO. 1 Wood Coaster

[@3ball.Prod.]

At the 2:27 it was so funny when it looked like Taylor almost fell out of the cart.

[@MrBaseball4]

I’ve ridden it only once, and it’s my 3rd favorite coaster behind lighting rod and velocicoaster

[@carysage]

Wow I really love how many people are saying "The Beast" on here. It was also my favorite for years. I've been visiting Kings Island since the early 80s so Beast is really like a family member to me. But I have to say these days that Shivering Timbers has taken the crown. I can't wait to get down to Santa Claus and try all of the woodies at Holiday World.

You are one of my favorite youtubers ever. I'm a roller coaster enthusiast as well and I love this and any time I go on a roller coaster especially a wooden one I ride in the very back to experience what you had on this ride and with and empty train that adds to the experience as well. Continue these awesome videos my friend!

Taylor's facial expressions are just WILDIN'!!!

[@jback4200]

Could not agree more. Just rode Phantom’s Revenge, Steel Vengeance, Skyrush, El Toro and Kingda Ka in the last week The Voyage still my number 1. It is relentless. Nothing like it.

[@stormchaser419]

The GOAT baby! Voyage forever!

[@rkocourek1977]

This coaster is everybit as relentless as it shows. This coaster will never give up and just gets more and more aggressive. By far the most ruthless ride experience ever. 10/10. Best coaster period. Santa Clause Indiana is really out in the middle of no where and def a drive. This coaster makes the entire trip worth it. All the coasters here are actually quite good. For a small park, massive props. Pro-tip, arrive at least 45 mins before park open. Voyager will be empty for the first hour the park is open tends to be the norm. you can absolutely stack on multiple rides fast. They don't do fast pass here, and free soda and and sun screen.

[@UnAshamed2010]

You both are awesome, but Sarah is a lot of fun!

[@creppypastalover]

The hill this coaster was built on work WONDERS for the coaster IMO. All that speed after the mid course I feel wouldn't be possible if it was built in any other location. All the tunnels you cut through to pierce the hill is proof of that, especially near the end run

[@clevelandcbi]

Same. First coaster I ever rode as a 10 year old in 1990. First night ride as well. STILL undefeated 33 years later.

[@JeffRaye]

I personally do not consider this ride as a wooden coaster. I look at as a hybrid. The steal supports is why I can't call it a wooden coaster. Now my home park Kings Island, The Beast is a wooden coaster. Love your channel btw.

[@777WOY]

That looks daunting

[@tatecarlson]

I remember riding this a few years ago and I will say that it makes the Beast at Kings Island feel short
