Ride video and photos

Description: 

It's Legendary

The theme of The Legend is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, as riders race through the woods as if chased in terror by the relentless Headless Horseman. The Legend was the top-ranked new wooden roller coaster for 2000 (#7 overall), according to the readers of Amusement Today, who named The Legend the #15 Wooden Coaster in the World in 2010.

Features
Double helix, the most dramatic drops on The Legend measure 113 feet, 77 feet, and 64 feet and the 77-foot drop features the world's first spiral drop.

Size limit
Bench seats have a seat divider; base of each seat is 16 inches across. Each seat has an individual seat belt, which encircles a maximum of 68 inches when fully extended (the ends attach in the back corners); there's also an individual lapbar that pulls down and must be latched.

Awards
Consistently voted a Top 15 coaster

Tips for your visit

Tips: 
  • Work your way up by riding The Raven first, then The Legend and finally The Voyage.
  • Wait till the afternoon to ride, as lines are shortest then.
  • Save one last ride on each for after dark.
  • Don't forget to leave any loose items you wish to keep, including those in your pockets, in the station so the Headless Horseman won't be able to get them.
  • Lockers are provided free of charge per ride cycle for any valuable items.  Holiday World locker keys are permitted on the ride as long as they are properly secured.
