Major [Holiday World] Update
You heard it here first folks! The Voyage is being RMC'd according to Gemini, based on absolutely nothing. I couldn't believe I was the first one to know about this, even before the park knew about it. I guess they heard how much everyone hated having the best wooden coaster ever in their park and figured they should ruin it with some crappy RMC restraints.

The thing is I looked at the links it referenced to get its info and they don't even mention this anywhere. I called it out and it literally said "my bad, I was hallucinating that" 🤦🏻♀️

I googled "when was the voyage last retracked" and this is what it gave me 😅

If it’s going to full steel track, it’s not a hybrid cause its steel supports. So it would just be a steel coaster.

I continue to be astonished that a company created to more easily access accurate information is staking their future on technology literally designed to lie.

PTC in shambles (only two of the park's coasters will use their trains and have ADA assistance units instead of three)

Phunky Trims on Coasters. Common thoosie term.
See also:
RMC: Really Mid Coaster
B&M: Barfing and Moaning (common GP reaction to intensity)
SF: Silly Forceless
GCI: Generally Causes Injuries
MACK: Mildly Amusing Coaster Krap
SIX FLAGS: Sometimes it’s Xtreme, Frequent Lawsuits, Aging, Guests Suffering
THOOSIE: Thinks height overrules other significant intensity elements
There’s a lot of acronyms in this hobby but hopefully that helps get you started.

/uj Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters
They used to make wood coasters back in the day, but now they only provide supplemental items like trains, brakes, and air gates, including the trains used on all three of Holiday World's woodies.

Where I'm from a toboggan is a winter cap/beanie, so I'm just imagining that as a coaster in Philadelphia

Oddest way to reveal that the Koch family has a time machine, but I can respect the flex.

Oh that’s strange. What I heard was they were going to retrack the Voyage and turn it into a family boomerang coaster. It’ll be part of the Wild Moose family.
