The call came out mid-afternoon - it was time to ride Voyage for the first time this season.

The test dummies were the first to arrive in the station.

They kicked up their heels with joy.

A few stretches before riding is a great idea.

Ummm ... Pilates for Dummies?

At last it was time to ride.

And ride they did:

Have you ever seen such happy faces?

Just look at that shiny new track - all reports are: Smooooooth!

See for yourself. Here's a compilation of the first handful of test rides.

Please note: this video is the result of several test runs being edited together, with a different combination of riders each time. No dummies or humans were harmed in the making of this video!

Voyage - and the rest of Holiday World - opens for the season May 5.

Should the dummies save you a seat?
