Two Holiday World & Splashin' Safari attractions honored in USA TODAY/10Best awards
SANTA CLAUS, Ind. — Holiday World & Splashin' Safari is once again featured in the USA TODAY/10Best's reader poll for having one of the best roller coasters in the nation.
The Voyage was named as the seventh-best coaster, according to the results of the poll announced Wednesday.
A wooden roller coaster, the Voyage treats riders to 24.3 seconds of weightlessness and has one of the steepest drops of any wooden coaster in the world, according to the park.
It also holds the world record for having five underground tunnels along its 6,442 feet of track.
The Voyage was selected as one of 20 finalists by a panel of experts, and then that group was narrowed to 10 by the public. Readers voted from March 25 through April 22.
Splashin' Safari also honored in USA TODAY/10Best
Splashin' Safari was named the sixth-best outdoor water park in America.
The winning description from USA Today notes the Mammoth, the park's massive water coaster, as one of the best offerings for thrill-seeking families.
The water coaster can take up to six passengers over multiple drops.
According to the Splashin' Safari website, the 1/3-mile water coaster is certified by the Guinness World Records as the world's longest water coaster.
