It&#8217;s estimated to cost about $10 million.<br \/>The coaster is a 1,500-foot wild ride to save Thanksgiving dinner. Guests will board a train shaped like a giant gravy boat that will travel up a seven stories before being pulled backwards, narrowly avoiding giant kitchen utensils like a 20-foot-tall whisk and an 18-foot-tall rolling pin.&nbsp;<br \/>The maximum speed for the ride is 37 miles per hour and there is a 38-inch height requirement, so children as young as three years old can ride along with the whole family.<br \/>2025 season passes are on sale now.
