DAY 5
For the first time since we left Plymouth, I have taken a few quiet moments to reflect. I am filled with wonderment at the thought that we will cross over such an immense sea. How many days will it be? My worries drift away with the gentle rocking of the ship.DAY 6
Each evening, we women plan meals for the next day. We cook for the passengers, but not the crew. The children suggest in a sly manner that they desire salt fish for each meal. We smile, knowing what a fine game could be made out of an empty barrel.DAY 7
The days and nights seem to run together as we continue toward the New World. The crew tells us we have taken a chance with our late departure from Plymouth. Those who know say October seas are rougher than in September.DAY 8
We have learned the ship’s swabber gains a new assistant each Monday. This crew member is called the liar and is thus proclaimed for having told a public untruth. The liar must clean what the swabber will not, the beakhead and chains.DAY 9
We miss the friends who were forced to stay behind when Speedwell twice took on water, delaying our departure. We must believe Mayflower will deliver us safely to the New World. We pray those left behind will join us someday.http://www.holidayworld.com/66days/
Notice on Day 6 that they talk about playing with "an empty barrel"... it almost sounds like a barrel roll.
If I didn't know better, this ride could have at least one barrel roll... which starts to tell me this ride could be an RMC monster. The more I think of it, the more I believe Voyage will be getting the Iron Horse treatment, transforming it back into the glorious ride it once was when it opened.
You never know however. It could also mean a steel coaster with a barrel roll. We just don't know yet, and that is the point of speculation. The "Day 6" entry does seem to hint a barrel roll, and going by recent history, barrel roll is usually mentioned with RMC projects, like Outlaw Run at Silver Dollar City and Iron Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. I don't recall any steel coasters that mentioned "barrel roll" as one of their inversions, but again, you never know.
I'll come up with an Iron Voyage idea in the coming days.
