Dont be. I was deflated on my trip as I heard several people along the way (they had the same idea as me and went to KI and KK on the way to Holiwood nights) downplay it. "So rough" "Too rough" "Not something you wanna ride more than twice in a row, even once can be too much" "I think its OK its so violent, worse than Beast for sure" and yeah the MCBR
BUT I was pleasantly surprised. The first half of Voyage is glorious, and even w the MCBR the second half is nuts. In fact Id say in a way it couldbe been "better" with it as I was able to do 3, 4 rides in a row really without any issue. Without it, it's beyond words but it WAS noticeably more tough and violent, deff verging on too much so.
No joke, the next day my head felt in a daze/had headaches I couldnt shake and my back was a bit sore. I blamed it on traveling mania but I kinda wonder if 2 nights of ERT on unrestrained Voyage was part. Those dips and turns at the end are vicious. So yeah fear not and take it as it is, even with my hype and a MCBR its a top 5-10 ride for me
Also I guess to each their own, I was preparing for my soul to be rattled. I found Voyage not that bad, even in back! Not smooth, but certainly not the worst. I found Beast, Racer, Raven and Legend all rougher.
100% true. I have absolutely been caught out by over hyping rides in my mind, including POV'ing them to the point of I can run through it all in my head. Its a bit hard but stepping back, only watching a POV once (for new rides I dont bother anymore with anything old) makes it so much better. I am rarely let down by a ride these days, and usually find some that exceed my expectations. In fact recent coasters I expected to be the best at their parks/top tier such as Montu, Diamondback, Banshee all under shot...
