Have You Heard About the New Thanksgiving GRAVY-Themed Roller Coaster?

You might have read that title and thought, “Surely that’s a joke.” We would’ve thought the same thing. But it’s NOT! There really is a gravy-themed roller coaster in the works, and it’s so weird and fun and we’re beyond excited about it.

We’ve talked about this tasty-sounding coaster before, but since it’s opening in just about four months, we thought it was high time to bring it up again and get everyone ready!

The home of the new Good Gravy! Roller Coaster is none other than Holiday World, which totally makes sense for a Thanksgiving-themed ride.

Gravy Boat

Holiday World is located in Santa Claus, Indiana, and the park has four big sections, each themed to a different holiday: Christmas, Halloween, the Fourth of July, and Thanksgiving. Good Gravy! is going in the Thanksgiving section, of course! It’ll join other rides in that area like the “Gobbler Getaway,” “The Mayflower,” and “Turkey Whirl.”

What exactly is the story of this ride? We’re glad you asked. The queue for the ride takes you through Grandma’s house, where you’re going to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with everyone. But then you discover that the feast is missing one key component: the GRAVY!

You’ll hop onboard “the world’s largest gravy boat” (which is a sentence we never thought we’d type) to help make more of Grandma’s famously good gravy.

Let’s go!

We got a sneak peek at these amazing gravy boats at IAAPA in 2023, and now we want to ride in these more than ever.

On your journey, you’ll encounter gigantic kitchen tools like a whisk and a rolling pin. You might fly past some stuffing as well. Oh, and did we mention that you’ll get to ride through a tunnel that’s a giant can of cranberry jelly?! That’s it — we’re sold.

Holiday World’s website said, “You’ll travel forward up a seven-stories-tall spike then backward to make more gravy and save Thanksgiving dinner!” This is starting to sound a little extreme! Just check out this concept art of the huge “spike.”

Here are all the numbers:

• Good Gravy! is 1,500 feet in length and 77 feet tall at the highest point.
• The coaster has a 38″ height requirement.
• Those gravy boats are really MOVING — top speed is 37 miles per hour.
• Each train has ten two-person coaches.
• The ride lasts about 1 minute and 5 seconds.

Now all that’s left to know is WHEN can we finally ride this thing?! Good Gravy! is set to open at Holiday World in May 2024. Meet us there?

As if this whole concept weren’t wild enough, are you ready for one more mid-blowing fact? Good Gravy! is being built by the same company that brought TRON Lightcycle / Run to life in Magic Kingdom. Wow, do they have a diverse portfolio of coasters!
