HELP

The Legend is a wooden roller coaster located at Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana, USA. Situated in the Halloween themed area, the name is a reference to Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, as riders dash through the woods of Holiday World as if chased by the Headless Horseman. The ride opened on May 6, 2000.
