Good Gravy! Family Coaster

Family Ride Wild Thanksgiving

Gee Whillikers! That’s a fun coaster!

Good Gravy!, Holiday World’s first family roller coaster, is a 1,500-foot wild ride to save Thanksgiving dinner! You’ll travel forward up a seven-stories-tall spike then backward to make more gravy and save Thanksgiving dinner. With a 38-inch minimum height and a max speed of 37 mph, this ride is sure to excite the whole family. 

Your journey begins at Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma Gracy’s house (her sister, Abigail, spends her time at Gobbler Getaway). Grandma Gracy is renowned for her Good Gravy, and Grandpa Gavin is its biggest fan! This year for Thanksgiving, the unthinkable happens: the family runs out of gravy! It’s up to you to help Grandma make more Good Gravy and save Thanksgiving dinner. 

As you whisk up a fresh batch of gravy, you’ll board a giant gravy boat-shaped train, and dodge gigantic kitchen accessories and ingredients, including a chicken timer, whisk, rolling pin, Koch Dairy bottle, and a box of Ruth’s Stuffing. 

Just like Thanksgiving dinner, there’s something for everyone! Good Gravy! is dynamic enough for thrill seekers, yet gentle and smooth enough for children and even Grandma Gracy. 

It’ll have the whole family saying, “Gee Whillikers! That’s some Good Gravy!”
