I went for the first time last year and despite the massive crowds had one of the best days I've ever spent at a park! Voyage moved into my top 5 thanks to how well it ran last year, so thankful to be able to go, and will definitely be back this year!
I also cannot recommend this event enough! They also have an all-day Friday option for a little extra money, which I went with, so that I can get some ride time in before most of the crowd for the event gets there. For anyone who needs the kiddie credit (Howler), they will probably have a short time during ERT that they will run it. I took care of that during the day Saturday, to not cut into my time with the major coasters.
I will stay in Louisville on Friday so I can have several hours at Kentucky Kingdom then drive to the event. The gain of an hour through the time zone is the selling point for me despite the hour and fifteen minute drive.
Well, now that I'm done with my one and only "rant that can be applied to to other rants" rant, I can still say (with no less enthusiasm than ever), that YES, I want to go to Holiwood Nights. The Voyage is the world's longest wooden roller coaster with one lift hill, has the most airtime of any coaster except Steel Vengeance, and also has a drop to EBR duration of about 100 seconds which is a marathon, especially considering its drop of 154' and two following drops also being over 100'; speed, airtime, laterals, duration and the fact that the track is wooden. The only wooden coaster to beat the length of The Voyage with one lift hill was The Son of Beast. While it's true it beat The Voyage in all other stats, none of those stats made it a better coaster. That's just The Voyage alone, not to mention Thunderbird, Legend, and Raven. This is a bucket list experience for me, to say the least. Looking forward to your review of The Voyage vs. El Toro one day. ;)
man, I didn't know there also was a tragic incident in 2003. with what happened last night at holiday world, this is really sad for the park. hope they won't cancel the event again. also didn't know you had to be a member of a roller coaster club to attend holiwood nights. looks like I have to join european coaster club before my first visit to the states.
“A magician never reveals his secrets...” Challenge Accepted. I’m gonna take this WAY too seriously, even testing it on cornball or going to HW to try it out in advance. :) may the best Magic man win 😉
What does the event usually cost in your experience (apart from the cost of joining a club) Trying to price out a possible roadtrip including this event, but I cant find the price anywhere. thanks for your help if you can :-)
Okay i doubt anyone sees this comment but im confused. Do i just buy a normal single day ticket for both days and then just stay after for holiwood nights
No, it is a special ticket sold on their website. That ticket gives you day admission and the after hours ERT. I believe the 2024 event already sold out.

I'll be there the Friday night.

That's an option too. I almost did all day Friday for this year.
I sure hope Voyage trimless night rides don't disappoint.
I doubt they will.
From what I hear the line is the issue
It delivers.
Now I know why it's trimmed. If they ran it like this everyday, it would need trackwork CONSTANTLY!
Going to Indiana for a wedding this October and the wife and I are gonna make a stop at the park, thanks for the video!
You're welcome.
First timer ‘21 to the event, can’t wait!!! See y’all there
Enjoy!
Only 3 more weeks! Super excited for my first visit and my first enthusiast in general.
It's amazing.
Night ride on voyage is a dream
Sure is!
I wanna go. Thanks for this info!
You're welcome!
2019/2020: most attended event
2021: hold my beer
The crowds were massive.
Going to HWN for the first time this year. I know there's a few different things this year but this video was very helpful
Enjoy!
Great information 👍
This event looks awesome 👌
It is.
Going to my first Holiwood Nights in a few weeks and this gets me extra excited!
Nice!
Can't wait
Me neither.
Greatest weekend of the year each year
One of them!

Makes sense!
I loved this event in 2020 and I’m excited to go back this year!
Me too.
great review! keep em coming
Thanks!
Went in 2020, it was amazing. Definitely plan on making this an annual thing.
I'm trying to as well.

I already have reviews of both El Toro and Voyage made.
@@CanobieCoaster I've probably seen them; I've forgotten. I'll give them another view.
9:40 that was my case with Legend in 2021
Not surprising!

What happened last night was sad and my thoughts go out to the victim's family.
as a member of RCCGB, i never knew i was eligible to attend holiwood nights. pretty cool though
Nice!
Did you get picked for this year? I just found an invitation in my spam folder. I'm excited because I've never been. Hoping to make the best of it.
I didn't apply. I wanted to wait and see crowd reports.

Oh I’m serious baby :) lol

They may have changed the price for this year given the attendance cap, but I think I paid roughly $60 in the past.
@@CanobieCoaster got it thanks
If HW doesn’t cap attendance, how does Voyage not get 6 hour lines?
There's a lot of people there but not enough for that.
When do the auctions go live? I’d love to try and get the thunder bird one
I haven't bought my ticket yet but there was a link sent out to all registered attendees.
I waited 45- 1 hour for my two rides on Voyage during ERT on Saturday... There was no ERT this year on Voyage for Friday
It was understandable given the circumstances.
Does it have to be holiwood for me to get night rides in these rides
That's the easiest time to get night rides. You can in the fall as well.
Okay i doubt anyone sees this comment but im confused. Do i just buy a normal single day ticket for both days and then just stay after for holiwood nights

@@CanobieCoaster alright I assumed they would be. When do they start selling them so I can go in 2025
100th like
Nice!
