I hope they don't reprofile the first drop, it's my favorite drop of any coaster

Maybe a GCI re-tracking?

Looks like a part from the helix. So I really hope for just a retracking since that area seems high on maintenance.

The part shown in the pictures is clearly the curve at the top of the lift. It has the mounting board for the 5ways on it.

Add a Beast style incline and helix to one of the woodies, hopefully.

The wood stats might just be statistics for all the retracking they are currently doing. As for the tunnel. Could be awesome! Depending on where it's put. :3

Track removed on Legend's drop.

The park posted this on their facebook. Could the ending be changed?

Also this might be going too far, but

^ Confirmed that no RMC would come there. However there may be a slight chance to be a RMC if this hype is just a hoax thing.

Gci inversion? If I remember correctly millennium flyers are capable of inversions.

Just knock off with the inversion thingy. Legend doesn't need one to be good. What's happening so far is only a logical re-tracking which the coaster needed. :)

Well its finally been anounced!


Legend will be Reborn with GCI re tracking the drop and some sections around the track while adding more supports and placing a new double down element and a tunnel!


Raven and Voyage have also got some new track work done!

Legend should be burned down TBH. Literally the most painful ride Blase and I have ever ridden.

No. This retracking should make the ride much better. It has a fantastic layout.

What? Legend has a terrible layout. Many hills are drawn out and the laterals are not well executed.

Legend is one of the best coasters in the world, should be good to see how this improves it!

Legend is seriously fun. I recommend riding while drunk, two cycles in a row without getting off :P It seemed smooth enough in May, but a retrack couldn't hurt.

Legend is seriously amazing. What is wrong with you people!!!??? Laterals for days. Like Ghostrider, I can't wait to see what GCI does with it. I hope this GCI thing becomes a trend.

Legend is my favorite coaster there and second favorite overall. It has two of the best airtime spots in the park and the layout has great progression that works when it's running well, not to mention my favorite first drop ever. I enjoy the laterals but that's just me.

I believe the work is being done in house. GCI is just consulting.

Holiday World honestly has the most immaculate woodies. Smooth, exciting, unique as f&$%. It's a generally underrated park. But it's obvious that they're more on top of wooden maintenance than most parks.

Even being overseas and having never been to Holiday World I get the impression they really value their wooden coasters in what I read about them from others and from the stuff they publish. They're probably one of the more trusted parks in terms of good development I think.
