The story of The Legend
Holiday World announced The Legend in June 1999, while construction had already begun with concrete footers poured in April of that year. ultimaterollercoaster.com· coaster101.com
When it opened on May 6, 2000, its three-million-dollar price represented the largest ride investment in Holiday World’s history at the time. holidayworld.com· coaster101.com
For the 2016 season, The Legend was substantially renewed, with nearly 1,400 feet of track replaced, stronger supports, a new double-down, and a fifth tunnel beneath the Frightful Falls lift hill. holidayworld.com· coaster101.com· amusementtoday.com
Holiday World continued the restoration work in 2021, arranging a further off-season project for the helix, spiral, and upper layers of track. holidayworld.com
