This is Roxanne from Raven. Thank you for coming to Holiday World! It was an honor having you and we hope you come again to quoth the Raven, "ride some more".
This is random but I think I remember you from the Legend! I was in the "I want to go home" RCT shirt! You had great energy, and I hope you had a great time at SFStL!
Two of my favorite parks. As much as I love Cedar Point, there's something homey about Holiday World and Kings Island. The ops at King's Island are always top notch at least in my experience. I always get plenty of space!
Speaking of Cedar Point....I took my 17 and 12 year old daughters on Saturday. And a funny thing happened. Pictures and video do not do Millennium Force justice for the first hill and its steep climb. "I don't know about that" when she saw it in person. But they did, and Steel Vengeance, so I am happy that the loved it.
@@chuck4714 haven’t rode it :(. If it has a forest around it, and tunnels, I imagine it is a better night ride then El Torro. El Torro has no trees. Voyage and Beast plow thru a forest. Hence why the night ride makes a big difference. Not even mentioning the pitch black tunnels.
@@NotTheBombIt doesn’t really go through a forest or have any tunnels. But the layout is way back from the rest of the park for the most part. Great ride.
Once Flash Opens, you will have ridden all the new Vekoma Boomerangs in America for 2024. I have been checking on Flash every weekend, and they still look like they have a lot of work to do.
I wanted to make this exact trip over the summer and hit Kentucky Kingdom along the way. Unfortunately I had to move in prep for a new teaching position so I just couldn't swing it.
I was hoping they did some trackwork last off-season. It was riding horribly rough on my visit a year ago. The airtime is incredible, but yeah, so many people are not able to enjoy it because of the brutality.
I’ve never been to Hollywood nights, but for some reason they closed voyage past nine, so it was dark. Most unreal coster experience I’ve ever had. Could talk about it for days, but I need to go to Hollywood nights.
@@CoasterCam-k3x never get discouraged, always try to get these tickets, I’m not even a big coaster enthusiast yet I will never miss another one if I can help it
Thanks for all of the content!! Your channel and other coaster vloggers inspired me to go to Cedar Point and Magic Mountain in the same week!! I rode 23 coasters last week between CP and MM!! I'll be going to King's Island for the first time in September. I can't wait to ride Beast.
As a HW ride OP, i absolutely love your vids, and I'm glad you enjoyed HW. Hope to see you there sometime this season! Sadly, i didn't work the day you visited. I would love to meet you!
Thank you for this video! Today’s my birthday and I couldn’t have asked for a better present. U r awesome! love me some uncle Nate! Not the kids coaster 666 😂
Holiday World has the best ride ops and employees in general. I'm slightly biased as I was an op on Legend in '22 and start of '23. Voyage is great but Legend will always be my favorite of the 3 woodies in the park
I have been to: Cedar Point, Kings Island, Dollywood, Carrowinds, Kings Dominion, Six Flags Great America, Hershey Park, and Holiday World is still my third favorite park.
@@6393dudestaff, 10/10. Ops pretty good. Cubbies on all of their rides. Free drinks, free parking, and free water park… which also slaps. The park does so much compared to what you pay. Fcking love them. Wish it was my home park!!!
@@coastercube838 I'll give it the overall better than dragster, but it's still behind Vengeance, Maverick, Millie, and Raptor for me. Idk..... maybe I rode it too much in a short time. Between media day, the coastermania keychain preview day, and opening weekend, I've got 24 laps in on it. (All season fast lane really helped)
Hey Ryan, I’ve been a longtime viewer of yours and love all your videos. Your informational videos have helped me on a project I had for describing my plan to become a roller coaster engineer. That said, I personally would like to know what you do for a living currently (knowing you previously were a ride operator).
We just did that same trip backwards 2 weeks ago and had the same reactions 😂 and don't feel bad about TT2 it's just ok (rip), but Id rather marathon Voyage all day.
I dont know if you have ever stopped by the Udderly Blue Ice Cream stand at Holiday World, but if you haven't - it is an ABSOLUTE MUST! Hands down, the BEST ice cream in the entire world! My family knows I'm not leaving Holiday World without grabbing a cone first.
Actually went here about 3 months before posting this, line for the voyage was so dead beat empty I rode it 38 times in about 3 hours, only time I had to wait was one train cycle to get in the back seat again
Bro I’m always at kings island how do I miss you guys? 😢 You should come to Halloween haunt this year, the banshees gonna be extra spooky after that guy died 🪦
Idk, I did both Kentucky Kingdom and Holiday World in a day, and I think I would've rather spent a day at each, just so I could've gotten more rides on some of the coasters.
The whole family coaster thing for kids is overrated. My daughter is 6 and was bummed she could ride moolinium force but not Orion. Let's get the b&Ms to have a 48 inch height requirement and more family gigas like moolinium
They can't. It's a different restraint. Millennium Force has a T bar which goes flat across where the B&M have a curve in the middle which adds more space hence why they can't make it lower. Unless you want them to get rid of the most perfect restraint style ever
Great Adventure named their wooden coaster after this guy and now Holiday World named their coaster as a response to how cool El Toro Ryan is!
You lost me 😆
@@Hunting380 It was suppose to be like "good gravy! El Toro Ryan is so cool!".
This is Roxanne from Raven.
Thank you for coming to Holiday World!
It was an honor having you and we hope you come again to quoth the Raven, "ride some more".
I remember you from HWN! You bring great energy and enthusiasm - appreciate you!
This is random but I think I remember you from the Legend! I was in the "I want to go home" RCT shirt! You had great energy, and I hope you had a great time at SFStL!
You’re the best Roxanne!! Keep doing what you do!
Best ride operator in the world!
OMG I NEVER GOT TO SAY GOODBYE! I'm that crazy warehouse intern who kept riding voyage in the back row only.
3:31 I love that I305 is the perfect family coaster.
My family agrees that I305 in fact IS the perfect family coaster.😂
@@Spike-sk7qlNo its a kiddy coaster!
That edit had me rolling 😂

Dude, isn't it crazy how much the support color "pops" so to speak on Diamondback? I remember seeing it and saying "that is a fabulous brown" 😂
The El Toro upstop sound and the i305 transitions on Good Gravy killed me 😂
Ayeee I've been waiting to see yall at my home park, Kings Island!!
Went to holiday world a few days ago, going to ki this Monday. Just what I needed.
Wahoo you visited our home park of Kings Island!
Nothing beats an El Toro night ride!!
Except a Voyage or Beast Night ride
@@NotTheBombrenegade too

@@NotTheBomb I’m sure you’ve never been on El Toro at night so pipe down.
LOVE Holiday World. Near me in Louisville. The Voyage is just incredible. I'd have to agree with you that it's one of the very best.
Needed this. Going through a lil rough time in life and I’ve been to a different park every weekend it’s all that makes me feel better
Voyage is my favorite coaster in the Midwest. it's so forceful and Insane!
I really love how back row legend makes you feel like your being shook around like a dog toy.
2:43 This almost made me spit out my drink, I was not expecting that.🤣

Just rode shivering timbers a couple days ago and that thing was so rough I couldn’t even enjoy the ride!

Running so well this year it threw my shoulder out trying to keep my hands up on those trimless night rides
@@billsskiefc yeah it was flying in the morning when I went

@@billsskiefc thanks! I’m going to michigans adventure right now, we’re about 3 hours out. Really excited!
can’t wait to watch another ViperRyan video
Legend is in my top 10! It's too damn good! The ejector hill after the turnaround is the best!
16:27 Mario lift hill sound nice man
We need a compilation of the rough ride edits because they make me uncontrollably laugh
ElToroRyan posted!? It's gonna be a good day
I rode Invertigo last June, and greyed out really hard going in the cobra roll backwards! 😂😂
Thanks for all of the content!! Your channel and other coaster vloggers inspired me to go to Cedar Point and Magic Mountain in the same week!! I rode 23 coasters last week between CP and MM!! I'll be going to King's Island for the first time in September. I can't wait to ride Beast.
Right now Shivering Timbers is my number one coaster…of twelve.
As a HW ride OP, i absolutely love your vids, and I'm glad you enjoyed HW. Hope to see you there sometime this season! Sadly, i didn't work the day you visited. I would love to meet you!
The banter between you two reminds me of Beavis and Butthead. There’s even a similar laugh.
In process you had to directly drive by lightning run and storm chaser. Devious
Skyline is amazing. Always have to get some while at Kings Island!
Thank you for this video! Today’s my birthday and I couldn’t have asked for a better present. U r awesome! love me some uncle Nate! Not the kids coaster 666 😂
Uncle Nate about Pumpkin coaster 😂
Two plus ones? Count me in!
The titanic edit was elite ❤

I rode that strata spike, it’s pretty crazy y’all
It is good, but lets nor act like its all of a sudden higher than 5, 4 at the most in the park.
@@Spike-sk7ql TT2 is amazing, it’s top 5 overall for me, wayyyy better than the OG
@@coastercube838 I'll give it the overall better than dragster, but it's still behind Vengeance, Maverick, Millie, and Raptor for me. Idk..... maybe I rode it too much in a short time.

Is Holiday World and Alabama Adventure the only two parks with free drinks?
@@Brandon-qd2lb owned by the same family
3:30 i305 my favorite family coaster🤗
AaAwwHh yeah, WoOdcOAstEr
I'm a row 11 guy, shout out to Airtime Myke!
Row 11 is elite. I prefer the left side of the train so I don’t slam into the side of the car during the pothole before the midcourse.
That queue is like the old tv show Finders Keepers from 35 years ago.

He is an engineer who works in public transportation iirc
Roxanne was running Raven when I was there earlier this month, she was awesome, chatted with us a bunch about coasters in that part of the country
uncle nate 🤤
🤤
I just did KI and HW in the same day last week. Top 5 single day park duo in the US!
We got stuck on the family vekoma boomerang coaster at Kings island, but I would highly recommend!
Yo I work at KI, been my favorite place since I was a toddler. Love the content 🔥
intimidator 305 goin brazy on the family ride
"Granny knows what a block zone is"
TUUUUURKKKKEEEEEYYYYYY 🦃😎
i finally got on mystic last may and Loved it!! i'm itching to get on beast (and the woodies at holiday world)
a strata woodie is wild
HW and KI in a day is crazy. HW and KK in a day then KI the following makes a great weekend tho.
Goin to holiday world next week! Thanks for hyping me up do it!!!!
Update! Holiday world was incredible! I got a night ride on Voyage and it was incredible! I rode everything in thanksgiving twice!
3:02 Thanks, it's just brown and water
We just did that same trip backwards 2 weeks ago and had the same reactions 😂 and don't feel bad about TT2 it's just ok (rip), but Id rather marathon Voyage all day.
Best row for the bat is the last
Tfw a Kitty ride has better theming than most of the coasters in the country

Holiday world is an awesome park
Granny doesn't know what a block zone is, shuttle coasters don't have any.
Yall rode so many woodies
Snoopy's Flashback Racers
Actually went here about 3 months before posting this, line for the voyage was so dead beat empty I rode it 38 times in about 3 hours, only time I had to wait was one train cycle to get in the back seat again
You guys crack me up. Hit me up if you get to Tampa. I'm yet to tame Iron Gwazi.
My 3 year old loved good gravey. I need to hit holiday world in early June on a week day for a better experience. This weekend it was a mess.
How dare you ignore the B&M babies 😤
I live near KI. Was Invertigo closed?
14:34 taylor swift always follows the coaster idiots around, idc if its a cover or not...
Bro I’m always at kings island how do I miss you guys? 😢 You should come to Halloween haunt this year, the banshees gonna be extra spooky after that guy died 🪦
Nate be like Mean Streak>Beast
Actually, yeah.
@@Uncle_Nate I rode them as a kid and thats how I ranked them too
hoilday world is my home park soooooooooo
Two parks in the same day is always the way to go man
Idk, I did both Kentucky Kingdom and Holiday World in a day, and I think I would've rather spent a day at each, just so I could've gotten more rides on some of the coasters.
Doesnt voyage actually have more airtime by quantity? Lol
Babe, wake up ElToroRyan just posted
Apparently, the Tesla Chargers are free at Holiday World? That's it. I'm taking my Tesla next week.
you should get back out to silver dollar city
ROLLERCOASTER FAVORITE RIDE LET ME KISS YOU ONE MORE TIME
when did u visit Ki?
The whole family coaster thing for kids is overrated. My daughter is 6 and was bummed she could ride moolinium force but not Orion. Let's get the b&Ms to have a 48 inch height requirement and more family gigas like moolinium

But old arrow trains would work as well.
Yo logan the amazing FoF sup
