The ride is exhilarating from start to finish, except for the slow down right before the triple down tunnel. The airtime is mostly floater, which isnt as good to me as ejector, but theres gobs of it. Despite all the insane airtime hops and lateral throws this ride does it is relatively smooth in the front. Yes, there is some roughness in the other seats, but *not* in the front. The front seat of Voyage is smoother than anything on Legend or Raven. Son of Beast is in my home park. So, the slight bumps on some of the Voyages seats are really a joke compared to what you get on that notorious whiplash machine. Update: I got one cycle in on Voyage yesterday. Wow, what a difference a year makes. The ride was total crap. I didnt get much airtime on the camelback. And the new trims totally slaughter a few airtime spots on the return run. Yes, there ARE trims on Voyage now. HW admits it. The ride was "tearing itself apart" and they had to intervene. Meh, it was pretty rough in spots as well. Let this be a lesson to you kiddies: always ride a great looking new woodie in the inaugural season. I doubt Voyage will EVER again perform at the level it performed at last year. Im lowering this to a 9. Yes, I should base this on more than one cycle. But, the coaster kept breaking down yesterday. So HW didnt give me the chance to more properly evaluate the ride. Im forced to go off the one cycle that I did get. Ill give it another go around next season.
