The first of three dances that I wrote on August 6, 2025 at Holiday World. I was planning to marathon The Voyage for the day, and I ended up taking a couple of hours just to get to three rides (ended the day with 25). The name of this dance comes from the last three words of the poem that you hear as you wait for The Legend.
"Scream your head off, but don't ask why, or the headless horseman might pass you by. And as you race around the twisted track, whatever you do, don't look back!"

This is a modification of 'Roll Twelve'. The change is in B2 - the original has a promenade after the partner swing, which goes into a circle left and then pass through.

"The motion in B1 does seem magical – while the ladles Petronella over and back across the set, the gentlespoons do consecutive Petronellas along the side, in effect progressing behind his partner’s back."
