I have no plans to go to HWN this year but looks like it will be PTC's again for 2012.

"The new Timberliner trains for The Voyage will not be delivered
to us in time for pre-opening testing this spring. Unfortunately,
that means we will have to wait until the fall for testing. It is
our intent to fully test the new trains and have them on the track
for the 2013 season."

Not that we haven't heard that before.

Old news and it makes me happy. With the re-tracking, The Voyage should be back to 2006 form, minus the changes of course.

Oh and I will be there this year!

We would be more surprised if you weren't at HWN.

After riding the Wooden Warrior (Don't worry about that front row, its fine)...The Voyage + Timberliner sounds like a frightening combination.

I am curious to what changes were made to the elements they retracked. Did they take out that reversed banked bunny hop right before the first 90 degree bank?

Ken, I didn't go one year, because I was pissed at the park for the way they treated people the year before, but they got the message (a lot of people were upset) and have backed off on the gestapo treatment.

Yes, Shoe. The section of track between the 180 degree diving turnaround and the first 90 degree bank has been completely reworked into a long bunny hill.

Ken I think you might be worrying about the lap bar too much. There is a difference between how the staff operates at holiday world compared to quassy.

It's been mentioned before but lets get a re-vote.

Timberliners, or flying turns?

Ogolo · « **Reply #31 on:** April 01, 2012, 06:43:46 PM »

What me worry? Never.

I'm going to have to vote for Flying Turns.

dkny6363 · « **Reply #32 on:** April 01, 2012, 06:45:05 PM »

I think flying turns is never... sorry matt.

Timberliners... I wouldn't rule out never. But I think next year. But who knows.

Have you seen pictures of the reworked section?

dkny6363 · « **Reply #34 on:** April 01, 2012, 10:31:33 PM »

I think there was pictures on coaster buzz.

Bunny Hill Picture

Interesting that they specified in the comments section that the timberliners would begin testing again this spring.

AV Matt · « **Reply #37 on:** April 02, 2012, 01:05:16 PM »

That was the intent, but a few weeks ago they announced the new trains wouldn't arrive in time and they'd have to wait until after daily operation ceases in the fall.

Holiday World posted a few pictures and a short video clip that includes the retracked section in the spaghetti bowl.

I'M GOING

Ogolo · « **Reply #40 on:** May 15, 2012, 05:51:18 AM »

Got the new job? Congratulations

Regrettably I still have to skip this year.

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #41 on:** May 15, 2012, 01:47:21 PM »

Not yet, but I worked it out to where I can go either way.

dkny6363 · « **Reply #42 on:** May 15, 2012, 10:32:22 PM »

I can't wait till HWN's... So I can start my one year countdown to go next year.

Edwardo · « **Reply #43 on:** May 24, 2012, 12:07:33 PM »

One More week! Or, if you're in Canada, 1 week and 1 year!

AV Matt · « **Reply #44 on:** May 24, 2012, 01:12:07 PM »

Time slows down as you approach the speed of... Canada, eh?

Oh wow just realized today is the day. Have a great time everyone. Deffinatly watch out for fang. Someone eat a pulled pork sandwich for me.

Do you think next year it will fall on May 31st, and June 1st? Or will it get pushed back to June 7, and 8? Just so I can book my time off ASAP.

AV Matt · « **Reply #47 on:** June 11, 2012, 12:52:34 AM »

The 2013 dates should be announced any day now if they haven't been already.
