2024 - Good Gravy! Family Coaster - (11/25/2023) Holiday World has posted an animated preview video of the themed queue you will experience when getting in line for the new Good Gravy! roller coaster in 2024. The animated preview takes you right into “Grandma’s House”, past the living room, bathroom, past the kids bedroom, the study and more as you approach the loading station (the garage) just past the dining room and kitchen.
(11/21/2023) Created by Vekoma, the Good Gravy roller coaster train coming to Holiday World has to be one of the most uniquely themed roller coaster trains ever designed. Themed like a giant gravy boat that you might find sitting on Grandma’s Thanksgiving table this week, it even has a big gooey drop of gravy flowing out of the front. The train was on display for the attendees at the IAAPA Expo in Orlando last week, which you can see by following the link above. (11/12/2023) Holiday World has shared a new construction update for their new Good Gravy family launched coaster, coming in 2024, along with the nearby new play structure. Check it out below.

(8/1/2023) Holiday World has announced that they will add the "Good Gravy! Family Roller Coaster" to the park for the 2024 season, bringing the first Vekoma Family Boomerang coaster to North America. The shuttle coaster will feature coaster trains that look like gravy boats that are pulled backwards up a cranberry colored lift hill before being dropped, hitting 37mph. The train will go through a 1,500 ft course, pass through a giant cranberry can themed tunnel before hitting a 77 foot tall spike. After a brief weightless moment the trains will then soar backwards through the course and back to the station. As mentioned, this is a family roller coaster, so it will only have a 38 inch height restriction.
