Tips for your visit

Tips: 
  • Work your way up by riding The Raven first, then The Legend and finally The Voyage.
  • Sit in the front seat for the view and in the back seat for the air-time.
  • Lines are shortest in the afternoon.
  • Don't forget to leave any loose items you wish to keep, including those in your pockets, in the station so the Raven won't steal 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.
  • Spooky facts: The name "The Raven" was chosen for our first wooden coaster exactly 145 years to the day following the death of Edgar Allan Poe. The poem "The Raven" was first published in 1845; our coaster by the same name premiered 150 years later, in 1995. Ravens used to thrive in Indiana. The last sighting of ravens nesting in southern Indiana was in 1894. This was exactly 100 years before construction of The Raven roller coaster began in the town of Santa Claus, Indiana.
