The Voyage roller coaster, which opened in May, 2006 at a cost of $6.5 million, is rated the No. 1 wooden roller coaster in the world. It is located at Holiday World Park in Santa Claus, Indiana

This is a picture of the first drop, which is set at an incredible 66 degrees (the steepest angle on any US wooden roller coaster) and is 154 feet in length. Overall height of the track is 173 feet and total length is 6,442 feet.

Top speed of it's three 28-passenger PTC trains is 67.4 MPH, and the 2-minute, 45 second ride takes you through five tunnels and two 90-degree extreme banked turns. This is one white knuckle ride I highly recommend!
