Join us this week as we podcast from Holiday World and Splashin' Safari in Santa Claus, IN. We're there to check out 2006's most anticipated roller coaster, The Voyage. The stats on this coaster say it all: * The world's top air-time wooden coaster * Air-time of 24.2 seconds * Track length: 6,442 feet (1.2 miles) * Maximum speed: 67.4 mph * Five underground tunnels * 2 min., 45 sec. ride time * Eight underground traverses * Three 90-degree extreme banked turns * 173 feet tall, with drops of 154, 107 and 100 feet * First drop's angle of descent a U.S. record: 66 degrees * Among the world's top three longest and fastest wooden coasters But The Voyage is only one of many reasons that we're visiting the park this week. Holiday World and Splashin' Safari is known throughout the country for their cleanliness and world-class service. The atmosphere at this park is truly unlike any other.
