that helix needs to be talked about more, i had heard nothing about it before riding legend at holiwood nights at night this year and i still dont understand how its even possible for a coaster to give that strong and sustained laterals
Agreed! Couple friends of ours were vlogging and caught us as we were coming off the ride for the first time and they ask ‘what’s you think?’ I go ‘that one left turn that literally seems to be going on forever and I’m all ‘aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!’ As I’m hanging out of the car...what the hell was that!!’ So glad that moment was captured, that one element makes it a ‘legend’ for me
@@showbizwisconsin8350I most likely got peak Legend during this past HWN. I met up with a friend of mine at the event who adores this ride and she made me promise to go on a Legend marathon with her at some point during HWN. After already having a few unhinged rides on it already, I THOUGHT I knew what I was in for. But night, rain rides on day 2 of HWN with the track and trains SUPER warmed/greased up? Woo. 17 consecutive rerides without leaving the station (because everyone was at Voyage lol) in a bunch of different rows. Front row was the god tier lats…WOW. Good rides in any row though. Finished with a zen ride with my friend (who won the auction for the zen ride ❤) and some of our other friends that were there with us. Final HWN ride on Legend. The level of euphoria I achieved on that ride that night was a rare experience. What a night. (And most of those rides were in the left seat 😅)
Bucking bronco and "surviving" are perfect, I was floored how intense and just crazy this ride is. I guess I see why it may not get the same attention/some dont like it....it's not meant for all. I thought it was great though, so wild and crazy. Its more jam packed layout gives it the edge over Raven for me, but yeah all 3 are top 10 woodies in my book. This park does have the best wooden collection there is!
I rode legend for the first time this summer and I was blown away, I didn’t think it was going to be nearly as intense or good as it was, I sat in the back seat and I got some really good airtime moments like over the first drop and a few other places, this ride is so underrated
This is my second favorite wooden coaster anywhere and my number 3 coaster overall. Voyage Skyrush Legend Holliday World is a great place, and Nights will be an annual trip from now on.
I haven't ridden Legend that many times, but every since the retrack it's every element is more intense Holiday World did an amazing job at updating the ride
Legend is my third favorite at the park. Voyage and T-Bird are 1 and 2 on my list. Not that any of them are bad. Last day of the season my brother and I ran from Legend to Raven to Thunderbird to Voyage during the last hour of the day. What a rush.
In my opinion, legend is by far the most underrated coaster ive ever been on. When I rode it this past july, I was in shock of how intense the ride was.
This was my first roller coaster...I greyed out because I wasn't expecting how intense it was. Then I rode the Voyage back-to-back as a night ride. It was incredible.
The Legend is my favorite coaster in the park and it is hands-down one of my favorite wooden coasters ever. I was blown away by how amazing it was. I felt incredibly underwhelmed by The Raven and The Voyage was about what I expected.
What I think is kinda scary is, when I was at splash n safari, I was riding the black water slide, I was waiting in the line, I was watching the coaster go by, and I saw the entire coaster shake, still rode it and it was very rickety.
This reminds me so much of Mighty Canadian Minebuster. Waterpark interactions, crazy helix, insane speed, and a good bunch of people wanting it RMCed dispite not having a great layout for it and being the most intense and fun woodie I've ever ridden. Seriously if Canada's wonderland gets an RMC, I really hope it's wild beast.
"Holiday world needs a family coaster desperately"- my family went to holiday world every year since i was about 3... I remember buying basketball shoes and stuffing the soles to be "48 inches" tall (wink). Most families arent like that though haha
What I think they could really use is something that can be 42" akin in style/concept that rides like Firechaser Express at Dollywood or Verlbolten at Busch Gardens Williamsburg set out to accomplish really. Still family-thrill but not insane or rather can be less than 48 inches.
@@oneandonlysound99 thats a good one, they have a junior coaster for little kids, so something intermediate but still thrilling would be great. Whatever it is though, keep it cheap. Save those big bucks for the big rides
Yeah, that coaster and I have a hate love relationship. It hurts me after I ride it, but it's is so fun. It hurts me in all the right ways, but it's always my last one or two rides of the day before leaving, because I am not going to be walking very much after riding it.
Wow. After this review, I feel like I messed up by not getting any night rides on Legend or Raven. But, I got 9 laps on Voyage (I just couldn't get enough). Next year, I will get these night rides for sure 👍
Johnny McWillams, I was hoping to get a night ride on Voyage but when I was there the park closed at 7 so I wasn't able to, still had a great time anyway. I'll just have to go back and get a night ride.
Question Taylor.... As I was watching an RMC topper track coaster, it occurred to me and I suddenly wondered how they're able to invert as I couldn't see anywhere along the topper track where up stop wheels would be to keep the train from dropping off the track while inverting. What am I missing?
I think the park made a great decision in having GCI retrack this ride in 2016 but what I don't understand is why they didn't also add Millennium Flyers to it as well.
I have a childhood memory of that water game being a competition on Nickelodeon's "Wild and Crazy Kids". I think they played it on Colossus? Who remembers this?
I got to accidentally partake in the water cup challenge. I didnt take a cup, I just rode but I did get put behind my group who was doing it. They failed....and I won because that water felt really nice on a hot muggy night!
Hi I am here with a question what roller coasters at Hershey park would a good first time looping coaster. I want all the help I can get because I have never ridden a looping coaster before.
Taylor... You know that CCI split up into the Gravity Group and GCI right? So if a CCI rollercoaster gets retracked by GCI, it's no longer a CCI, but a GCI! Ghostrider at Knott's Berry Farm: Same story!
I remember back on Vortex crew, we used to do water challenge at the end of the night....Never made it past the loops (also, dat helix though. I know I said this about Raven, but MINI BEAST)
My legs were non existent after riding this. I think a good family coaster for holiday world would be a Pony Express type ride but you ride the reindeer through the Christmas town.
Great review! I’d like to give you a suggestion, seeing as you’ve ridden so many coasters, I’d like to see you revisit older reviews of rides from when your channel was still relatively new. I’m sure after riding hundreds of coasters around the world your opinions of these coasters have changed and id be really interested in hearing what you have to say now opposed to then.
They need a ground up RMC with as much airtime as steel vengeance and the lateral forces of legend. It could have a 90 degree first drop and at the end have a crazy section like i305 and a quad down. That would be a could fit for this park. Name could be the monster
I really like Legend, Raven is kinda Eh to me just because this last experience I had on it, it was bumpy and felt like I was being scrambled to become an omelette. If Holiday World gets an RMC I think Raven should get the RMC treatment.
personally i love the layout, but the last time i rode it like 5 years ago, it was really rough. i think that turned me off to it, and personally i think an RMC I-box (or even topper track) conversion of Legend would absolutely S L A P. i do also agree they need a more family friendly coaster though, Raven is family friendly enough because its not very big or fast, but making the step up to Legend and Voyage was definitely really intimidating to me when i was young. ill have to try and ride Legend next spring and see if its better than my last ride in 2015, because i REALLY want to like this coaster, but the roughness ruined it for me my last time around.
I know full well it's not the best comparison because holiday world has the terrain and better maintainence, but the way the wooden coasters are to me it's not unlike others with wooden coaster collections. For example maybe sf great america. You got a compact, kinda short but really wild and worth it RMC, a out and back with a helix (that really needs GCI or gravity group work so it can duel again), and the coney island cyclone clone model "Viper." Point is, excluding the RMC here just because, you got the out and back versus the inside itself wild ride thats actually somehow less intense but also seems more insane and wierd going in and out of itself versus a track that only kinda crosses the other. The general view there is Viper is actually the weakest, and despite the need to do some fix-up lots of huge fans of american eagle-including those not wanting RMC to touch it (as said, gravity group or gci could do great work on it), over Goliath, the RMC whose lines are THE SAME as american eagle (if they are running one side, which they only ever do), while Viper is generally short. The latter may have changed since Maxx Force is so close now, but probably not by a ton. I think the same break down would work for say, Mt. Olympus, SF St. Louis, Kings Island, etc.
is this "bumpy" i dont mind getting thrown around, but like wooden coasters can get too bumpy to the point where i feel like my hearts going to explode lol, like mean streak, god damn that thing made me feel like my heart was going to come loose
If Holiday World gets a family coaster, it should be in the Christmas area. Call it Reindeer Proving Grounds as a place for reindeer to train to be on Santa's Sleigh. It would be a Zamperla custom Moto Coaster with the motorcycles replaced with reindeer. The various elements could represent disciplines the reindeer have to master to be on Santa's team (quick takeoffs, quick turnarounds, avoidance of aerial traffic, roof landings). Does anybody else have any suggestions about what a Holiday World family coaster should be like?
The Beast: I have the craziest helix on a wooden roller coaster.
Legend: Hold my cup of water
Wholesome
Hold my beer
LOL 😂
I’d say beasts helix is definitely crazier but legends is much better if that makes sense
I prefer the beasts by a lot, mainly due to the insane speed you have going into it, but legends is no slouch
This review will be legendary
The fact I didn't realize the pun till a few seconds later
Goteeem
Lol
Nice pun bro!

Don't ride on the left side of the train. You will be squashed.

Taylor here making coaster reviews quicker than Six Flags dispatch times
oh wait, never mind
This is my second favorite wooden coaster anywhere and my number 3 coaster overall.
Voyage
Skyrush
Legend
Holliday World is a great place, and Nights will be an annual trip from now on.
I waved to the operator of the log flume to the side of the chairlift and it made my day when he waved back lol
This is honestly one of my favorite roller coasters
I haven't ridden Legend that many times, but every since the retrack it's every element is more intense Holiday World did an amazing job at updating the ride
That helix is epic. It feels like it will never end. And this definitely does not need to be RMCed.
Legend is my third favorite at the park. Voyage and T-Bird are 1 and 2 on my list. Not that any of them are bad.

I don't get why it's so underrated. Voyage is amazing of course, but Legend is my favorite coaster in the park
I love its interaction with the water rides. I also agree that Holiday World could use a family coaster.
4:10 shows the old layout before the 2016 GCI “Legend Reborn” elements were added.
I used to hate Legend but after HWN i actually really like it now. Tho i thought the airtime moment was a lot more noteworthy than you did
This was my first roller coaster...I greyed out because I wasn't expecting how intense it was. Then I rode the Voyage back-to-back as a night ride. It was incredible.
I was there yesterday and it was my first time riding the Legend and the Raven and it's my favorite roller coaster at Holiday World
The legend is somehow the LEAST legendary ride in the park lol.
All jokes aside I love this ride so much, thanks for this review dude!
wolf Buddies 123 No, I like making fun of them tho
I don't understand why it's so underrated. It's incredible

1 Like= Taylor should review the coasters at Six Flags St Louis!
Nothing worth reviewing
Danrarbc Well except The Boss
@@Jackrabbit7 The biggest CCI, but not the best.
Danrarbc Yeah it’s not a good ride but it is worth a review
The Boss, MrFreeze, American Thunder, Screamin Eagle, and Ninja are all worth reviewing.
I just rode the legend, it was awesome!!! My wife and I have season passes, I am going to ride it every weekend
Legend: I have insane laterals on a coaster!
GhostRider: Hold my Lateral G-force
Legend is So underrated
I haven’t been to holiday world but comet at Hershey is super underrated
CoasterHorizons yes comet does look pretty underrated too
I haven’t been on this coaster yet, but it looks Legendary!
The station is themed to Ichabod Crane’s schoolhouse from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, it even has a school bell
taylor is a legend
Lol

Awesome review! I was thinking about making that for my next episode of The Coasters R Us Show! And congrats for 170K!
This, Raven, and Voyage are all in my top 25.
Can you review some of the Six Flags St. Louis Coasters?
Two back to back Holiday World reviews
Yeah, that coaster and I have a hate love relationship. It hurts me after I ride it, but it's is so fun. It hurts me in all the right ways, but it's always my last one or two rides of the day before leaving, because I am not going to be walking very much after riding it.
I’m lucky that Holiday World is my home park!
Same. We're spoiled for sure
Wow. After this review, I feel like I messed up by not getting any night rides on Legend or Raven. But, I got 9 laps on Voyage (I just couldn't get enough). Next year, I will get these night rides for sure 👍

This coaster looks awesome
I love Legend! I've only had day rides on it. If the night rides are anything like The Beast's, I can't wait to experience one.
Night rides are insane. At Holiwood Nights 2021 Voyage was closed the first night so everyone was here, and it was mental. It ran so fast that year.
You should do a video where you rank your favorite wooden coasters. I think it would make an interseting list.
I got 2 front seat rides in the pouring rain during HWN 2020, and what a wild experience that was
I had to read the title a couple of times because I was like, "Oh cool! Taylor met up with The Legend to review Holiday World!"
This ride looks insane
It literally tries to kill you lol those are the strongest laterals I’ve ever experienced. In my top 20!
Question Taylor.... As I was watching an RMC topper track coaster, it occurred to me and I suddenly wondered how they're able to invert as I couldn't see anywhere along the topper track where up stop wheels would be to keep the train from dropping off the track while inverting. What am I missing?
Our boi Taylor goin crazy with the videos
I think the park made a great decision in having GCI retrack this ride in 2016 but what I don't understand is why they didn't also add Millennium Flyers to it as well.
I love legend as well. I would love to go on it again this year. Too bad that won't happen
I love the Legend but it's a bit much at times. You really have to brace yourself. It also looks super cool when viewed from the water park.
I have a childhood memory of that water game being a competition on Nickelodeon's "Wild and Crazy Kids". I think they played it on Colossus? Who remembers this?
What.... water cup challenge....holiday world I love you....what an out of the box fun experience
This used to be my "least favorite" coaster at Holiday World, but became my 2nd favorite after they retracked it!
I got to accidentally partake in the water cup challenge. I didnt take a cup, I just rode but I did get put behind my group who was doing it. They failed....and I won because that water felt really nice on a hot muggy night!
5:20 what about that Intamin first gen drop tower in Japan?
Not a roller coaster

Hey taylor do you have plans for November 1st? I'm gonna be at frightmares at lagoon that evening and would absolutely love to meet you!!

I’m sure after riding hundreds of coasters around the world your opinions of these coasters have changed and id be really interested in hearing what you have to say now opposed to then.
It’s on my to do list! I’d really like to redo my El Toro and Kingda Ka reviews- those are super old and good use a good update
Coaster Studios That sounds great! I’d love to maybe see a revisit of I305, seeing as you’ve now ridden every giga.
2:32 I Know some coasters have a little give but that?
They need a ground up RMC with as much airtime as steel vengeance and the lateral forces of legend. It could have a 90 degree first drop and at the end have a crazy section like i305 and a quad down. That would be a could fit for this park. Name could be the monster
After not including Holiday World in your top 15 parks, you had to give its wooden coasters some love i guess
taylor you said you bank on the turns, but you’re mistaken. there is no banking and i love it
You’re right. Poor choice of words on my part. Lol
3:50 Thunderbolt at Kennywood would like to have a word with you
I really like Legend, Raven is kinda Eh to me just because this last experience I had on it, it was bumpy and felt like I was being scrambled to become an omelette. If Holiday World gets an RMC I think Raven should get the RMC treatment.
So it's like the Beast, but good?
While I haven't ridden The Legend yet the only helix I can think of that would come close would be Ghostrider since it hardly banks at all lmao
Do you prefer this or Jack Rabbit at Kennywood?
All clear, but beware... The Headless Horseman may be near!
When I was younger whenever I rode on this I would always look backwards whenever it told me to not look back. I was such a rebel
lmao
Can you do a behemoth review
My sister is a gp and hates laterals but she loves the legend
Thunderbolt at Kennywood would like to have a word about laterals. Layout of this looks better tho.
Can you do a Pegasus review plz. This is great!
Isn’t raven a family coaster?
not at all
This review is going to be legen.. wait for it.. dary.
Review the coasters at Six Flags St Louis
Yeah Chris from Airtime Thrills will probably hate on this one too 😬😬😬😤
only messing around. ☺
Are you sure that helix has better lats than Beast massive double helix?
Its more sustained in my opinion
You hear that gravity group? Build an oscars wacky taxi clone at holiday world to fill the family coaster void.
Hey Taylor do you know what happened to Logan? He hasn’t posted in a good while

It's wayyyyy better since they re-tracked it
Do the king of ccii shivering timbers next. Airtime buffet
You should also review balder at Sweden
It’s on my to do list!
Coaster Studios awesome
Any chance for a Wodan review?
It’s on my to do list!
This ride wasn't running either day we were there in July.
Damn, that's unlucky as hell
I know full well it's not the best comparison because holiday world has the terrain and better maintainence, but the way the wooden coasters are to me it's not unlike others with wooden coaster collections.

The latter may have changed since Maxx Force is so close now, but probably not by a ton. I think the same break down would work for say, Mt. Olympus, SF St. Louis, Kings Island, etc.
Ah yes my first real Rollercoaster
is this "bumpy" i dont mind getting thrown around, but like wooden coasters can get too bumpy to the point where i feel like my hearts going to explode lol, like mean streak, god damn that thing made me feel like my heart was going to come loose
Not really, it’s just very extreme.
so how much water did you have left? don't leave us hanging
Actually quite a bit! We got 2nd place at HWN 2019
@@CoasterStudios Can't you just cover the cup with your hand?
They should get a gravity group family next. OR an RMC family.
"I don't think there is any coaster that has an experience like that."
*sad diavlo noises*
Other than two jarring moments, it's a good coaster.
just me or did anybody see the track violently sway at 00:56 ?
They should do a family coaster that’s an RMC, that would be cool.
Abby the mii that goes against everything RMC builds tho- plus that market is saturated
the purple watercoaster is zoombabwe and letme say it it is a long line lololol
I love my home park

That could be a great idea. If i came up with a family coaster i might go with a design from Intiman.
