Yeah

[@farrr-inn]

Yeah I have

[@Valschannle2022]

Nope but im scared to

[@crazysupersonic9061]

Yeah but I don’t think I’m going on it again

[@yolekz]

yes and it was one of the BEST RIDES EVER

[@GregSr]

Back around 1975, my wife and I went to Knott's Berry Farm. They had a brand new roller coaster ride called "Cork Screw". By today's standards, it was pretty mild. But, the ending was anything but routine. I could smell the brakes. I knew that smell from my car. Anyway, as the ride was ending and we were approaching the load/unload platform, the brakes had almost no effect and we went flying past the platform at a pretty good speed. The look on the ride operator's face as we flew by was a clue that something wasn't right. Then we made a hard 180 degree right turn that took us to the long uphill ramp - again. Somehow, they figured out what happened and the brakes actually worked on our second approach to the platform. As we were disembarking, the operator then announced, "thank-you for riding the Cork Screw TWICE tonight!"

[@sixtocortescastaneda4169]

If that isn't a happy accident, I don't know what is.

[@juliestrawn561]

Our honey moon the end of August that year same time as you. Glad they had fixed it and we didn't know😅

[@cthscharmers5784]

I'm from Texas and I totally remember visiting family in CA and going to KBF! I remember riding the Cork Screw!! It was a simple ride but fun! I remember riding it over and over!! I also remember going to Disneyland and a beach for the first time too. I remember the beach looked crazy and huge. Great memories!

[@sj460162]

Nice story. You must have been terrified. I would have been!

[@benwinegarner4797]

Corkscrew was my first real coaster as a kid. From there we went over to Montazoomas Revenge. After those two rides I was hooked. Been a coaster enthusiast ever since. I'm now 47 and still can't get enough of coasters.

[@FigmentOfYourImagination1983]

Ghostrider is 100% one of the BEST Coasters in the park and in California! I could honestly ride this one coaster for hours! It is so much fun!!

[@MrEliasdl]

I've always been amazed at how much constant thrill that ride produces off of such a small first drop.

[@DKdevilplayground]

At night they crank this shit up! during Knotts Scary Farm or any night for that matter.

[@bobthebear1246]

And actually that first drop isn't that small.

[@Stealth_Dad_Official]

I love these old wooden coasters. They are way more fun than the newer record breaking steel coasters

[@bobthebear1246]

Agreed 💯

[@rickpontificates3406]

That's the most WICKED wooden coaster I've ever ridden! It's relentlessly fast around the track

[@elwoodblues9613]

There is a reason why it has the longest lines at Knott's.

[@rindordrums]

My favorite coaster videos. No talking... just the ride. Best!

[@bobthebear1246]

I went on this amazing wooden rollercoaster in the Summer of 2014. I need to get back there to Knott's Berry Farm sometime.

[@robblaster9556]

That last helix is incredible. Barely any banking so it feels like you're getting thrown out.

[@user-hf4wg3bu7l]

I just love wooden roller coaster

[@HaimTabibi]

That guy’s mullet at the beginning was amazing!

[@Southgate210]

Oh I loved this one! Especially at nighttime!

[@robertabray-enhus3198]

Now that’s a coaster ride!!!

[@CylitheraGreywolf]

This is hands-down my absolute favorite roller coaster anywhere, even above the B&M inverts and RMCs.

[@CXSATX]

Just went on it today. I had no idea how wildly good this ride would be

[@ej9482]

I love this ride at night. it's insane

[@riogonzalez3572]

Awesome video!!!!!!!!! One of my favorite roller-coasters at Knott's Berry Farm was Ghost Rider!

[@BeagleRescuer13]

Ahhh i miss living down in SoCal. This is such a fun ride!

[@Missglam67]

There is always at least a 60-90 Minute wait everytime I go to Knotts to ride this classic woodie. It’s fun! Next to the classic version of Colossus it’s my favorite

[@JohnSolorio]

I changed my mind about riding this once i first saw it at my first visit

[@elcomode]

nice ride 👍

[@zaxbitterzen2178]

Ummm wow that was impressive. Not just the layout, but that it wasn't over in like 30 seconds.

[@jasonfujimoto808]

I was so sad that it was closed when I went to Knotts last year November time. The ride was down due to mechanical issue. The line was 3 hour wait. And 1 1/2 with fast pass.

[@christinajain2340]

I love Ghost rider. It is my favorite ride at Knotts.

[@shaneshepherd6623]

My friends are making me go on this in a few days. It looks really fun

[@TiffanyLee-zv5yv]

Why does the drop seem steeper when on it? But the video shows a little drop ?

[@danielguizar360]

This ride is intense but a very good intense. It was awesome!!

[@electricwizard3000]

When I was a kid all rides at Knott's were about 90 seconds long - this seems epic for Knott's. I don't usually even like wooden coasters, but this looks like a lot of fun.

[@elwoodblues9613]

The ride is incredible, out of control. I hate waiting in long lines, but I will wait in this line, the ride is worth it.

[@mrbootytaker5000]

@@elwoodblues9613just learned that knotts has a single use fast pass for $7.50 definitely wish i knew that before waiting three hours for this ride lol

[@JamesSmith-gc9kk]

Never been to Knott’s Berry Farm but have ridden a lot of wooden coasters. That looks like the most fun wooden coaster

[@pokemonboiidk6870]

It is I try to go every month

[@Parental_Control]

Thanks!

[@ThemeParkPOV]

Thank you very much.

[@hollywoodharriet13]

Love Ghost Rider!

[@davidkunicki1068]

Ouch!!

[@mccfan11]

this would be a nasty RMC conversion

[@jessicabarbosa9830]

my son is going to Knott's and he wants to ride this ride and he's 8 years old. crazy isn't it

[@staceypainter4372]

I Love this ride so much my favorite.

[@Somewondude]

automatic classic. This is a real ride. I swear this ride is so fast when you hit those small drop loops you really feel it!

[@Static99]

Don’t know if it’s just me but, as a pass holder I’m always at Knotts and I swear it’s way faster at night based on the times I’ve been on it, can anyone confirm or deny? Lol I’ll ask an employee next time

[@nicoleesdicul63]

Looks cool 🔥

[@user-cp2cp1qd3k]

1:41 - ¨hughhh¨

[@DeteWoi]

I just went on this ride for the first time in the back seat and I was so scared

[@brianbara3204]

Ouch! I'd be covered in bruises after that ride!

[@cjason23]

After the remodel, it’s actually really smooth to what it was

[@Leviathan10937]

i went when it was raining and the park was so dead the ride was a walk on basicly

[@nenblom]

AWESOME!! ❤❤

[@ryleesblooms]

Just road it on Monday. Took my 8 yr old and she bit me going down the first drop. My back is still sore and it’s Thursday. We won’t be going on it next week during KSF that’s for sure. It was fun but I’m good for the next decade 😂

[@elleryparsons2433]

I Bet That Ride Is Better at Night!

[@ianloeb1672]

Oh believe me it is it’s a completely different ride

[@Cap_Briggsy]

It really is. At night it has orange lights on the sides.

[@cjason23]

Went on last night and it’s a different beast. I swear it goes 20 mph faster lol

[@sj460162]

Great ride but the first drop shouldnt have the overhead cover to spoil the height view.

[@southpawje]

That’s a really great coaster ride

[@lamarcorlis2081]

I wanna get a video so badly with my phone but they watch you like a hawk and will stop the ride, I went last Wednesday and the park was dead I rode this 6 times😊

[@christianortiz793]

Favorite wooden coaster in California!

[@stephondukes15]

This video makes my head hurt

[@grudgesgalore8666]

[@Somewondude]

FACT

[@joseph830830]

Me to

[@jeongyeonchan]

[@roaddog1973]

There is one way to ride this coaster. In the back seat at night.

[@jaysonpida5379]

That's a helluva coaster...well done Knotts.

[@mjtunstall1976]

how good is berry farm? any better than disneyland?

[@mrbootytaker5000]

yes definitely roller coaster wise

[@robby003_]

To whoever can answer my question, I’m 20 yr’s old and weigh 280lbs and a height of 5’10. Is it possible I’d be able to fit on ghostrider?, I’m visiting Knotts tomorrow.

[@bradleysika]

No I haven’t rid that before

[@vanialucero7851]

Oooh Yea I’ve Been On This Ride With My Friend Luke Once It Took Us a Loooooong Time To Get There & a Looooooooooong Time To Get To The Top & I Did Not Like It One Bit The Drops We’re Tooo High & It Was Suuuuuuper Fast Too & Creaky & It Moved Alot

[@yeetbeastgamer9069]

I ❤️ Six Flags

[@grudgesgalore8666]

KNOTT'S BERRY FARM is not SIX FLAGS PARK it has nothing to do with 6 flags YOU HEARD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@xqtcs]

fr

[@PeachWNK]

@@grudgesgalore8666Unfortunately, Six Flags bought out the corporate entity. It will still exist under its shareholdings.

[@yeetbeastgamer9069]

This looks similar to El Toro

[@davidsalucco56]

Now, that's a rollerdoaster!!!!!

[@dougronald561]

My favorite coaster. Just the picture could be more steady

[@benwinegarner4797]

Top 10 overall coaster for me and one of my favorite woodies.

[@ILikeExpiredStuff]

My favorite rides are prob hang time and ghost rider is my all time fav

[@thecoasterman682]

Is this wooden rollercoaster still smooth? Or is it now pretty rough?

[@hellacia8151]

Has a bit of a bite to it... the millenium flyer trains also help, they're practically couches

[@nikotheghostrider]

Kind of rough but on a scale of 1 to 10 on roughness it’s like a 4/10

[@ryleesblooms]

It’s pretty rough but for a wooden one I guess not too bad.

[@Skyzikz]

Don't be fooled it's literally the smoothest coaster in the park besides silver bullet

[@elwoodblues9613]

I've read everything from "it's very smooth" to "you'll need a chiropractor after riding it" to "it's better than it was." My rides have always been pretty rough. I guess it varies from year to year.

[@LWDavis58]

Dang. I couldn’t move to push pause on my phone. Was hypnotized. I was hoping it would end. My what a long track

[@davidhamm7909]

I love the old wooden rolleroasters. In the UK, we have one in Great Yarmouth and I believe it is the oldest one (and possibly the only one) in Europe. I may be a wimp but I much prefer it to the modern ones ones that spin you round and upside down.

Knott’s Berry Farm Saying Goodbye to Ghost Rider after closing Forever on July 22nd 2036

[@Cap_Briggsy]

Hush bot

[@GhostRider50918]

Never ridden ghost rider or any coaster but seems like fun

[@garywoods3940]

Try the Thunder Bolt at KennyWood Park Pittsburgh Pa thats a thrill ride

[@yeetbeastgamer9069]

Ive seen reviews of Magic Mountain and Knotts, Knotts is nowhere compared 2 Six Flags

[@Somewondude]

Knotts has its history and character. Walt Disney took a lot of influence from Walter Knott.

[@PeachWNK]

What are you comparing? Is it apples to apples?

[@Skyzikz]

Knott's is the inbetween of Six Flags and Disneyland. Disneyland with great theming and little no no coasters and six flags with the most coasters in the world. Knott's is both theming and coasters and I actually prefer it to Six Flags because of that.

[@elwoodblues9613]

Magic Mountain is Six Flags. Enough said. I am so thankful that, when Cedar Fair bought Knott's, they did not get rid of Ghost Town, because that section is what makes Knott's unique.

[@lyndakorner2383]

Walt Disney wasn't influenced by Walter Knott. Knott's Berry Farm didn't become an amusement park until the late 1960's and early 1970's. Walt Disney died in 1966.

[@user-ii4zx8ki4h]

this is a copy and paste of viper at 6 flags

[@darrenbennion6086]

It's really rough. Didn't like it

[@Skyzikz]

It's extremely smooth you have no idea what you're talking about or have never ridden roller coaster before.

[@bbmco1969]

Stupid ride

[@user-ls1dl8ww1l]

I need some reassurance I wanna go on this ride next week when I go to knots berry farm, is the first drop really that bad?? 🥲
