It's intense. A lot different than all the other Gerstlauers I've ridden. I like it. :)

The closest GG that comes close to it for me is Ravine Flyer II.

The Voyage is just a wooden and steel beast. Most airtime of any coaster. The 90 degree turns are amazing, and even though it's brief, the outward facing airtime, literally my favorite part of The Voyage. Also! The new head chopper on it is incredible. I was lucky enough to already experience it with Thunderbird going over it. Say what you will, but The Voyage will always win over every other wooden coaster.

Good thing these are opinions. :) Voyage and Gravity Group in average feels too much 'in control' when it comes to G's imo. The only thing that was 'out of control' was the shaking of the cars due the high speeds. :lol: Maybe my feeling about the ride would change after a couple re-ride someday. But when that's going to happen. I don't know.

When is the last time you rode it? Haha it's definitely got some more power to it since it's 2012 rehab, and continued maintenance yearly. It's definitely all opinion. Gotta have individuality and personal preference! :lol:
