One of CCI's strongest and most well-rounded creations. This provides both the aggressive airtime and intense laterals that the group is known for in spades as it flies around a valley and even attempts to invade the water park. It easily has one of my favorite helixes too, as it not only provides great lateral forces, but the shaping also makes you feel like you are going down a drop at the same time. Other than that, there's not really too many standout elements, mainly because everything else is just so consistently good. The Legend shows a manufacturer at their very best: mastering what makes them unique, while also having the confidence to piece them together for an ambitious layout. My back row ride on this is one of my favorites I've had on any coaster ever.

Legend is a crazy, out-of-control ride with very intense laterals and a couple good airtime pops, including the first drop. It's also longer than I expected. It is quite rough, which holds it back a bit for me. I recommend sitting on the left side of the train so you're pressed against the outer wall rather than the seat divider during the helix. The bell they ring in the station when a train departs is also a nice touch.

Legend is a world class woodie that unfortunately gets overshadowed by its Thanksgiving themed neighbor. If Voyage wasn’t there, this ride would be the rave not only of Holiday World but of the Midwest. Some of the best laterals in the country, with some great airtime complimenting.

Biggest surprise of the park! I expected this to be a significant step down from Voyage, but Legend really holds its own. I rode in the back car and, while it was a little whippy, it was absolutely the right call. Experiencing the crushing laterals of the second half's helixes along with bonus back-row airtime from the drops and double down was reminiscent of The Boss in its early days (SFSL is my home park--this is high praise). I'll have dreams about popping in and out of the helix tunnels for the rest of my life The ONLY thing that holds this back from a 5 is scale by comparison. Voyage is a little bigger and a little more intense, but Legend could be a star attraction in nearly any other mid-America park.

This was the most shocked I've ever been getting off a ride. I usually have a good idea of how much I'll like a ride going into it. I expected this to be pretty good, but in the end it completely and ...

This was the most shocked I've ever been getting off a ride. I usually have a good idea of how much I'll like a ride going into it. I expected this to be pretty good, but in the end it completely and totally blew my expectations out of the water. Amazing pacing and length. Good pops of air throughout. And the laterals - THE LATERALS - are unreal. That helix instantly jumps to be my favorite helix ever. It can be a bit much at times, but not enough for me to miss a re-ride. It's understandable why it's not talked about as much as Voyage, but this belongs in the conversation of top-tier woodies.

A gorgeous layout, though it's a little distracting to run through the water park tube slide. The laterals are excellent and it's a long and surprisingly smooth ride. There are a few small pops of eje...

A gorgeous layout, though it's a little distracting to run through the water park tube slide. The laterals are excellent and it's a long and surprisingly smooth ride. There are a few small pops of ejector, but overall a dissapointing amount of air time. It felt like the ride WANTED to throw me from my seat, but never got there. Even in the back row

Honestly don’t get the love for this one. It’s rough and I’m not a fan of lateral focused woodies. If it’s rough and uncomfortable I’ve got to be rewarded with some airtime. Ride it once for the day a...

Honestly don’t get the love for this one. It’s rough and I’m not a fan of lateral focused woodies. If it’s rough and uncomfortable I’ve got to be rewarded with some airtime. Ride it once for the day and marathon voyage and thunderbird.

One of my favorite wooden coasters. The layout is phenomenal and just has so many back-to-back great moments. Diving past trees and water slides is super fun and then you have a couple of random drops...

One of my favorite wooden coasters. The layout is phenomenal and just has so many back-to-back great moments. Diving past trees and water slides is super fun and then you have a couple of random drops with great airtime, to follow is the incredible massive helix. Some of the strongest laterals there are on this one.

The Legend is quite a forceless coaster in the start imo, although it gets crazier later on. Overall a pretty enjoyable coaster and also decently smooth. It's kinda what i remember from Robin Hood (Wa...

The Legend is quite a forceless coaster in the start imo, although it gets crazier later on. Overall a pretty enjoyable coaster and also decently smooth. It's kinda what i remember from Robin Hood (Walibi Holland) back in the day. I really liked the interaction with the waterslides from Splashin Safari. Those old PTC trains have some serious cushioning which is very much appreciated.

This ride is incredible. It is my number 4, but it beats everything except it’s neighbor, Iron Gwazi, and i305. If you don’t like intensity, it’s not for you. If you can’t appreciate laterals, this re...

This ride is incredible. It is my number 4, but it beats everything except it’s neighbor, Iron Gwazi, and i305. If you don’t like intensity, it’s not for you. If you can’t appreciate laterals, this review will confuse you. For my taste, the helix on Legend competes with the spaghetti bowl (Voyage) for my favorite element of all time. This one of the best rollercoasters ever built, and I am so grateful for every ride I get on it.

The Legend is simply ridiculous. It was perfectly smooth. It delivers a relentless ride with nonstop intensity. The airtime isn't particularly notable, but that's not a big deal when the ride is this ...

The Legend is simply ridiculous. It was perfectly smooth. It delivers a relentless ride with nonstop intensity. The airtime isn't particularly notable, but that's not a big deal when the ride is this powerful and lengthy.

A fantastic rollercoaster that wraps around part of the water park and so due to this hits you with multiple sudden drops. It is excellent. It also has a similar ending to the beasts with a bowl twist...

A fantastic rollercoaster that wraps around part of the water park and so due to this hits you with multiple sudden drops. It is excellent. It also has a similar ending to the beasts with a bowl twist but much tightly compact and exhilarating.

This ride is an absolute beast. It has by far the best and strongest laterals I’ve experienced and probably on any coaster. The whole ride is very fast paced and out of control as you travel through a great setting in the woods. There is lots of laterals throughout the whole ride but the best moment is undoubtedly that helix. Even though this helix is towards the end of the ride you still hit it at breakneck speed and immediately get slammed with the strongest laterals I’ve ever felt, and these laterals keep getting progressively stronger as you are pinned to the side of your seat for about 15 seconds straight and you even get a floater pop while these laterals are happening towards the end. It is one of the most insane elements I’ve ever experienced. This ride even has some nice airtime on the first drop if you are in the back and on the double up. This ride also is extremely long and has a nice layout and collection of elements. The ride is a bit rough but I can handle it fine. Also night rides are spectacular. Overall this ride has top notch pacing and laterals and is one of the best as far as traditional woodies go.

Lat machine. Personally not too into laterals so this is definitely below Raven for me. Still pretty intense and fun, if a bit uncomfortable at times. Disappointingly not much of an upgrade in terms of ride experience at Holiwood Nights.

This was my favorite wooden coaster on the planet--for about 10 minutes--the time it took for me to walk from the exit of this ride to the entrance of The Voyage. This thing is incredibly intense from the very beginning to the end. You have no idea what is coming as 90% of the this coaster is completely hidden from view anywhere in the park. The helixes are insane and seem almost never ending. The laterals are crazy. This is so much fun. Sure it isn't liquid smooth, but it is in no way painful. Intensity, intensity, intensity. It just makes me laugh like an idiot every time I ride it. One of the best.

The strongest laterals I’ve ever experienced. Super long ride back in the woods that’s full of amazing turns and a couple hills that you won’t expect. This ride is so so good and getting night rides on it is the best.

Legend is absolutely amazing. A huge first drop, enormous laterals, and a last half with slamming airtime and lateral turns. It rides through the woods and over and under the slides. It's a blend of lateral, positive, and negative forces that is extremely rare. The fast ride by the forest, the huge scale, and the spooky theming put this ride over the edge as one of my favorite wooden coasters.
