Good Gravy! Flock Of Turkeys Test Ride New Roller Coaster At Indiana Theme Park

A new roller coaster is opening at Indiana's Holiday World theme park, and some furry stuffed friends were the first to test-ride it.

Good Gravy! is the latest amusement park ride to join Holiday World, but the coaster needed to be tested before its official opening, and who better to take on the roll than a flock of turkeys?

Good Gravy!, Holiday World’s first family roller coaster, will take riders "forward up a seven-stories-tall spike then backward to make more gravy and save Thanksgiving dinner," according to the official ride description.

"Your journey begins at Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma Gracy’s house (her sister, Abigail, spends her time at Gobbler Getaway)," the website explains, "Grandma Gracy is renowned for her Good Gravy, and Grandpa Gavin is its biggest fan! This year for Thanksgiving, the unthinkable happens: the family runs out of gravy! It’s up to you to help Grandma make more Good Gravy and save Thanksgiving dinner."

The ride description adds, "As you whisk up a fresh batch of gravy, you’ll board a giant gravy boat-shaped train, and dodge gigantic kitchen accessories and ingredients, including a chicken timer, whisk, rolling pin, Koch Dairy bottle, and a box of Ruth’s Stuffing."

"It’ll have the whole family saying, 'Gee Whillikers! That’s some Good Gravy!'" Holiday World claims.

Holiday World shared a video showing the coaster had undergone testing rides, but people are not the first to experience Good Gravy! -- turkeys are! Stuffed animal turkeys, that is.

"A flock of turkeys test ride the new Good Gravy! roller coaster at Holiday World," theme park podcast Thrill Geek shared along with the video clip.

Attractions Magazine also shared the video, which expressed, "Those are some big birds!!! Do you like gravy with your turkey? Check out Good Gravy! Taking some birds for a test run at Holiday World."

Holiday World shared the video Thursday morning, and it has already gained traction, as many theme park websites and magazines reposted it on their social media pages.

"A flock of our feathered friends tested Good Gravy!" the Indiana theme park shared on its official X page. "They truly gobbled up this experience. They loved it so much, they came back for seconds!'

The video shows a close-up shot of the nearly two dozen stuffed birds strapped into their seats, zooming through their adventure of making gravy.

Social media users couldn't help themselves but join in on the fun, as Theme Ridez Media Group commented, "They look a little stuffed!"

Another X user commented on the video, stating, "Look at those brave Pilgrim turkeys plunge through that station!"

As one social media user stated, "[These] stuffed animals riding roller coaster video trend needs to continue going forward. These videos are hilarious. Orion did one with Bob Ross plushies, [and] now this! Love it!"

"Nobody fell out... successful test!" one user pointed out.

Youtuber Coaster Conquest, who re-shared the clip, stated, "Wow! That’s what I call Good Gravy!"

Theme park reporter Ashley Carter also reposted the clip to her page and added, "Why is this my new favorite thing?"

“We are overwhelmed by the positive feedback we received this year for Good Gravy!” Leah Koch-Blumhardt, Holiday World owner, stated according to Blooloop. “It was an instant hit with our guests, who have been looking for a great ride the whole family can enjoy.

According to 18 WJTS, Good Gravy! will be North America's first Vekoma Family Boomerang roller coaster and will open in May of the 2024 season. "With a total journey of more than 1,500 feet and a 38-inch height requirement, Good Gravy! will offer a family-friendly experience, allowing children as young as 3 years old to join in on the fun," the radio station added.
