LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Good Gravy! Holiday World's newest roller coaster is beginning to take shape.

The theme park posted a picture on X Monday, showing the track has arrived for the Good Gravy roller coaster.

The new Thanksgiving-themed coaster dubbed Good Gravy! will have riders inside a giant gravy boat-shaped train.

Here's how it works: the train will be pulled backwards uphill before flying forward through the train station onto cranberry-colored track, hitting a maximum speed of 37 miles an hour. The train will fly through a giant cranberry sauce can before narrowly avoiding giant kitchen utensils -- such as a 20-foot-tall whisk and an 18-foot-tall rolling pin. It will then fly up a 77-foot-tall spike and repeat the journey backwards.

The journey will be nearly 1,500 feet long.

The ride is expected to open in May in the Thanksgiving section of the southern Indiana amusement park. The coaster will be near the same location as the popular Raging Rapids water attraction that was retired earlier this year after nearly three decades. 

The coaster, manufactured by Dutch company Vekoma Rides, is a family boomerang, the first of its kind to open in North America, according to a news release. 

The family coaster's height requirement is 38 inches, so children as young as three years old can ride along.

Along with the Good Gravy! ride, the park is also adding a Stuffing Springs, which will feature a children’s play area, benches, and shade, as well as a Dippin' Dots stand made from a refurbished 1964 Airstream Camper.

Holiday World and Good Gravy! will open to Season Passholders on May 4 and 5, 2024, and will open to the public on May 11, 2024. Season Passes are on sale now, and children born in 2019 and 2020 qualify for a free Pre-K Season Pass.
