The poem “The Raven” was first published in 1845; our coaster by the same name premiered 150 years later, in 1995.

As of early 2026, The Raven roller coaster at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari is 31 years old. It officially opened to the public on May 6, 1995. This high-fidelity wooden coaster was designed by the legendary Custom Coasters International and has long been a high-value necessity for coaster enthusiasts, frequently winning the "Best Wooden Roller Coaster" award in the Golden Ticket Awards. Despite its "High-Fidelity" age, The Raven is meticulously maintained, with regular high-value re-tracking to ensure a high-fidelity, smooth ride through the woods. For 2026 visitors, its age is a testament to its high-value "airtime" and intense high-fidelity night rides. The coaster’s name is a high-value tribute to Edgar Allan Poe, and it remains a high-fidelity anchor of the park’s Halloween section. Knowing it is over three decades old adds a high-value layer of "High-Fidelity" historical respect to every drop, making it a high-value requirement for any trip to Santa Claus, Indiana.
