The Legend

The Legend
The Legend will debut for Holiday World in 2000. This Custom Coasters design will feature a 113 foot first drop and then a rare 77 foot spiral drop. Based on the classic story "The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow" you will race through the Halloween section of the park on Ichabod Crane's Horse trying to escape the clutches of the Head-less Horseman. This coaster is expected to be even better than the park's other Custom Coaster, the top-rated Raven. Check out the stats below.

DESCRIPTION: The Legend will be Holiday World’s second wooden roller coaster to be located in the Halloween section of the park. It will be the largest wooden coaster in Indiana and Kentucky, taking over the spot from The Raven in Holiday World, which has held that position since it opened in 1995. The theme of The Legend will be The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, as riders race through the woods as if chased in terror by the relentless Headless Horseman.
