How Much Would You Bid for a Three-Minute Voyage?

Friday April 14, 2006
Do you want to have bragging rights as one of the first official riders on The Voyage, Holiday World's wild new wood coaster? Then head over to eBay (search for "Voyage Roller Coaster"), and join the online auction to bid for one of the 28 seats on the thrill machine's inaugural train. The first ride will take place on Saturday, May 6, the 2006 season opening day for the Indiana park. Proceeds from the eBay auction will benefit the Riley Children's Foundation. As of Friday, April 14, the top bid was $120. The auction ends Wednesday, April 19. The highly anticipated Voyage will reach speeds of 67.4 mp, navigate three successive drops of 154, 107, and 100 feet, deliver 24.2 seconds of airtime (a world's record), and dive 8 times into 5 underground tunnels (another world record).
