The Voyage (roller Coaster)
The Voyage is a wooden roller coaster at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari in Santa Claus, Indiana, USA. It was designed and built beginning in 2005 by The Gravity Group, with the help of designers Mike Graham, Korey Kiepert, Larry Bill, Chad Miller, and former park President Will Koch; it opened on May 6, 2006. The Voyage is themed after the voyage the Pilgrims made to America in 1620. The Voyage holds several records, including most air-time of any wooden roller coaster at 24.3 seconds, among others. In 2006, The Voyage won the award for Best New Ride at the Golden Ticket Awards, which are presented annually by Amusement Today magazine. The Voyage was also ranked as the Best Wooden Roller Coaster by the Golden Ticket Awards from 2007 through 2011. As of 2012, the Golden Ticket Awards have ranked The Voyage as the second best wooden roller coaster in the world - a title it also held in 2006.

Famous quotes containing the word voyage:
“I dare say I am compelled, unconsciously compelled, now to write volume after volume, as in past years I was compelled to go to sea, voyage after voyage. Leaves must follow upon each other as leagues used to follow in the days gone by, on and on to the appointed end, which, being Truth itself, is One—one for all men and for all occupations.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
