Extreme Terror Rides: Death-Defying Drops

Extreme Terror Rides: Death-Defying Drops
TV-PG, CC TRAVEL CHANNEL Oct. 21 3 p.m. Eastern

In this hour we'll defy gravity on the Steel Hawg, the steepest roller coaster around, dodge 9-foot breakers in the tallest man made waves on the planet and then get thrown out of a volcano in the biggest slingshot ride in the world.

(I didn't write it ... just posted it!)

Lots of Halloween attraction specials on this month, too.

Main complaint about these 'most extreme' shows: they have to hype up something that isn't very long and not even in the next segment after the break.
The Terrifying places in US 2, this haunted road segment was like 6min, but they kept hyping it up at the end of like every segment.

Thanks -- good to know! (Voyage is one of the featured rides in this episode ... and they don't give us a heads up about when this show will air.)

from the latest Holiday World email

Watch us on the Travel Channel

Okay, it's a re-run, but now that Holiday World is closed for the season, it's all we've got!

This Wednesday, October 21, tune in to The Travel Channel at 2 pm Central (3 pm Eastern) to catch The Voyage on Extreme Terror Rides: Death-Defying Drops.

Re: Extreme Terror Rides: Death-Defying Drops

I watched this episode again - seems like it's only been a month or two since it last aired - and one quote during the Voyage segment caught my attention, when a rider said "where's the nearest hospital, I think I broke a rib".

Yes, I am familiar with that aspect of Voyage... most likely the first crossover (after the triple down) that slams riders into the side of the car, especially bad its opening year. I think enough people complained about that spot that they may have reprofiled it during the off season.

But all in all it was good to HW again, and Steel Hawg as well.
