The Legend

The Legend, Wooden roller coaster in Santa Claus, Indiana, United States.

The Legend is a wooden roller coaster running through forest terrain with five tunnels and multiple steep descents reaching speeds around 59 miles per hour. The track winds through dense woodland with various turns and elevations that define the overall riding experience.

This wooden coaster was built in 2000 by Custom Coasters International as part of the park's expansion. A significant rebuild in 2016 introduced new track sections and redesigned elements that refreshed the original structure.

The theming draws from Washington Irving's Headless Horseman story, and riders experience the sensation of racing through woods as if pursued by the legendary figure. This narrative connection transforms the ride into something beyond a simple mechanical experience.

Visitors should secure loose items before boarding, and the ride requires a minimum height of about 48 inches to participate. Coming on less crowded days helps you avoid long waits and experience the forest setting more fully.

The track features an unusual spiral drop formation from a significant height that represented a design innovation when first introduced. This distinctive curve remains a defining characteristic that riders clearly sense when passing through it.
