Good Gravy Review, Holiday World Vekoma Family Boomerang | A Perfect Fit!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- Good Gravy is the new-for-2024 roller coaster at Holiday World. This was a much-needed family coaster for this Indiana theme park. This was given an adorable and corny Thanksgiving theme, as you walk through Grandma's house and whiz past oversized kitchen items. Then this coaster is also notable for being the first Vekoma family boomerang in the United States.

Fun Fact: The bar code on the Cranberry Sauce is actually the opning date for Holiday World.
The trains are so adorable.
I guess you could say it's... buttery smooth!
Absolutely!
This is my favorite Single Ride Video because of the turkey POV. I love the theming of this Thanksgiving ride. All that's needed is a Lions Victory (and a Cowboy's loss)
It's a cute video.
this is the graviest coaster ever, its gonna sell a gravillion tickets
The more well themed coasters we get, the better, so I'm ALL-IN on Good Gravy, even if it's just a family ride & cloned layout. Love it
What a treat this was to experience! It really feels like the park got back on the right course, after the awkwardly placed waterslide complex that did not last long and Thunderbird. Thunderbird is great and looks nice, but it sticks out like a sore thumb thematically. Good Gravy! is just exactly what this park needed in every regard!
I am loving what little I've seen of this. I have decided to wait to see it in person before seeing any other videos or comments about its layout and theming. So to support your channel, I'll play the video on mute and leave a comment, then come back and watch it for real after visiting the park in a few weeks.
Thank you! One tip if you're waiting to watch the video is that they do a boarding group system when the line gets long. You get those at the ride entrance when that happens.
I love the themed boarding passes!
The boarding pass system wasn’t in effect on my visit but it reminded me of the awful month or two of Covid operations at kings island and cedar point when boarding passes were used.
What this ride doesn't fix is the absurd hike up to Thunderbird, and the swing ride at the top of the hill. I saw a couple families on the day I visited that wanted to ride either, but didn't want to contend with that hill. Having GG's entry/exit a little higher up the hill would trick families to getting halfway up there.
The thing was, the entry building for Good Gravy! was already constructed for Pilgrim's Plunge, so they wanted to construct the ride around that. I think that if the park ever constructs another large roller coaster, the entrance will likely be placed partway up that hill since that's the part of the park with the most room to expand.
Looks a fun family Coaster
8:50 Those kind of look like the same way up the spike to me ;) It's a good little coaster for the park.
Coming from the UK I thought I never see a Roller Coaster themed to Gravy lol
It was a good ride. Maybe an audio feature would take it to Big Bear Mountain heights.
Incidentally our First time on BBM there was no soundtrack and we were “ so so”. But at night it’s the Best!
Good gravy IS a great ride.
While the rides theming is undeniably adorable, I think snoopys (as someone who hasn’t ridden either) looks more exciting even if both are family coasters and don’t need to be that thrilling, good gravy looks quite slow in return run footage. Happy they finally got a family coaster though.
Snoopy's ride experience is a touch snappier. But Good Gravy is so perfectly done for Holiday World.
Your profile pic makes me think you're kinda biased on this one though.
@@hyperulf lol never thought of that but can confirm it’s not bc of that. I like snoopy but also it’s mainly bc snoopy is a recognizable character.
Neat coaster. Love the name. Very creative. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a great family coaster
A part of me wonders if they got this in a package deal
I can see it being the case of it being purchased with an STC
My one criticism is that they didn't go with one of those Family Boomerang/STC combos like Tripsdrill or Emerald Park, catering to both families and thrill-seekers at the same time. Other than that it was a pretty good addition.
@@AceAviations2 As much as I'd love to see that too, it's probably way out of budget. They could have gone for dueling family boomerangs to up capacity and include a racing aspect, but I guess that was too expensive as well.
See Good Gravy at Holiday World, how would you compare it to Legend, also at the same park? What do you think?
I've noticed a pattern with Holiday World. They built Thunderbird nine years after The Voyage opened, and now they build this nine years after Thunderbird opened up. So could that mean that their next new roller coaster will open nine years from now?
Not necessarily. They built Raven and Legend with smaller gaps.
How fun would it be if the ride was called Schizo and caught a lift on the spike and went all the way to very top so then did reverse at crazy speeds LOL!
On a serious note, I am glad HW got a good family cooaster.
I agree. This is exactly what they needed.
Can you make a updated version of the Six flags Fiesta Texas review?
I'm not planning to at this time. My thoughts on the park remain the same and I made a separate review for their new attraction since in Dr. Diabolical.
Just went there today. Are you going to do a raven review?
Hopefully soon.
I want my mom to visit Holiday World for the wet park since she loves waterslides but hates coasters. (not to be confused with water roller coasters; the dry park coasters that have dry coaster track that splashes into water, like Arrow's 1st tubular steel coaster of Mattaerhorn Bobsled coaster) from Waterslides with water jets (or conveyor belts) which are also called "water coasters", but this term being more official without the prefix "roller".
In any case: Holiday world has THREE "water coasters" (as opposed to "water roller coasters") in their wet park. As for dry coasters: The only one she might like is "Good Gravy." She's 81 and it's up to her but I'm not holding my breath. What do you think I ought to do? In any case: thanks for posting!
How many Vekoma family boomerangs did you find to have shin guards? Examples:
The older ones have them.
How would you compare this ride to Howler, also at the same park?
This is a family coaster versus a kiddie coaster.
I may not love that they went with a Thanksgiving theme (that "section" effectively has 3 sections now. There are other holidays! If we can't get Santa's Sleigh or Glacier Gulch (even if the latter is essentially Voyage) I need my humourous April Fools Day coaster for something in a similar veign to Good Gravy but different holiday) but it does look to be a good addition that will be good for general audiances.
I think their next coaster installation is going to be in 4th of July where the river rapids ride was
@@TriscuitBiscuit2000 Hopefully that means a revitalization of that area. It resembles the midway of a church carnival without that anchor attraction of a rapids ride (although those flyers being from Bish Rocco is pretty cool).
@@urbex_coasters I just wonder what they could add. I’d love to see a chance hyper gtx!! With their relationships/connections with B&M and Vekoma I wouldn’t mine a new gen vekoma thrill coaster or a b&m invert
@@urbex_coasters I would love to see an intamin but their relationship with them is rocky bc of pilgrims plunge/giraffica. An rmc raptor could be fitting too.
