What do you mean by the opposite direction? The Voyagers visited the outer planets and many missions have been sent out since then (Galileo, Cassini-Huygens, New Horizons, Juno). Here's an extensive list. They were all state-of-the-art Voyagers in a way.

Well, they exited to the bow of the heliosphere, so I would think the OP means with an exit point heading towards the tail of our system

It's a good point. As hard as it would be, sending a Hubble Space Telescope type but with extra equipment.. but send it straight up from the galactic plane, looking back at us. Could be real cool

New Horizons "It is the fifth space probe to achieve the escape velocity needed to leave the Solar System."

Lucy and Juno will never be Intergalactic probes.
