GhostRider is a wooden roller coaster, located at Knott’s Berry Farm, in California, USA. But the ride you see today wasn’t the attraction that opened all those years ago. In this video, we explore GhostRider's history, including its classic CCI origins and it was reborn by GCI.

rmcing a wooden coaster shouldn't be understated, though. the reason rmc has had so much success is because of their rides being so amazingly good, I do think that ghostrider is still a great coaster without rmc and it doesn't need that innovation. Maybe over time it would get progressively rougher and knott's decides to finally rmc it, and I think that would be good, but I just rode it a couple weeks ago and it still is very fun, although the roughness is a little more than it was.

RMC GhostRider is a good question, but I think I'm going to advocate for the GCI makeover that the park did. Not everything has to be RMC'd, and while it probably would have been a fun ride, I think it would have lost some of the character of the area. I think it's currently one of the best "traditional" wooden coasters out there, and I wouldn't want to take that away. Although now I'm thinking about RMC's funky pre-lift sections, and GhostRider has a lot of room to work with there. It's the most visible part of the ride from inside the park. That could have been fun.

What is GhostRider? GhostRider is my all time favorite wooden coaster, maybe even my favorite overall. I rode it when I was a kid, summer '01. God I just realized... I'm like, thirty years old. Christ I'm an old man. I remember this thing would really kick your ass, and riding in the back (Is that still the best seat btw? Unless you wanna queue for the front I mean? Seemed you'd get more lift, and seemed to sling you around turns quicker.) And this monster would whip the back cars around like a damn whip cracking. The layout of this thing was just incredible to me. I'd seen Cyclones and I'd seen Scream Machines. If I remember rightly, building new wooden coasters at all wasn't something you saw much of, even.. So that kinda made this one that much more special, I guess. And this beast seemed to blend the best of both styles of wooden coasters. Cheers for making at vid on this guy, And sorry for the novella, there

I had the privilege of riding this around when it was built and years later after GCI retracked it. I loved it both times! The first time I went was during Knott's Scary Farm in 2000. I was so blown away by it. I rode it twice that night! Fast forward to 2016 and the ride had just opened after its retracking a month prior. I finally got to go on it again, and fell in love all over again. Knott's isn't one of the two parks I have annual passes to in Southern California (that would be Disneyland Resort and Six Flags Magic Mountain). But I'm aching to go again sometime real soon, just to ride this again! Also, I'm REALLY GLAD RMC didn't work on this. As much as I absolutely love RMC (Twisted Colossus is incredible) this needed to remain the way it was originally intended to be. CCI's creation is one of their best and unlike Colossus at Magic Mountain, its greatness will remain timeless.

The GCI retrack was absolutely the perfect treatment for this Southern California icon. It is easily the best woodie in the state, and maybe the whole west coast. The original CCI layout with the new GCI treatment complete with the Millennium Flyers make it an absolutely incredible woodie, and I'd much rather keep this forever than ever see it become some other hybrid. It regularly has 2 hour waits and for good reason; you can't find a woodie even close to this caliber within 400 miles.

I went on ghost Rider the first year it opened and I don't think I ever felt such an adrenaline rush as everything felt far heavier and faster than a steel roller coaster. Several years after it had opened I had tried to go on again and I was extremely uncomfortable as it felt like I was in an earthquake during more than half of the ride. They actually installed video cameras on this ride for a few years and because of its earthquake nature almost every single girl on the ride was getting pummeled in the face with you know what 😂, those cameras must have been really expensive but they ended up taking them out. they would play back video samples where you normally view your picture, the girls would be extremely embarrassed and you can always hear some guy laughing in amusement over the "show".

I think if it was a hybrid, it wouldn't have fit the Ghost Town theming as well in my opinion. I mean if it was something like Steel Vengeance maybe, but I just feel like with Knott's Berry Farm, this should remain a wood coaster. Idk why but it just gives Knott's Berry Farm that classic ghost town feel. If that even makes sense.

I finally went to Knott's Berry Farm for the first time on 10/25/2022 and got to ride Ghost Rider while there. It's not real smooth. It's definitely gotten rougher over the years. I wish those flat beyond 180 degree turns were banked. I bumped my right elbow on one of them and ended up with a bruise that was sore for a few days after. I get the nostalgia for wooden coasters, but they're just too rough for me now.

Oh shit, I have to go back here then. I remember riding this ride and absolutely hating it because it was so rough, even needing to take off my glasses and hold them because they felt like they were going to be shaken off. I didn't know it had been revamped so I was very confused seeing all of these positive comments about it. I haven't gone since it reopened so I'll have to give it another go.

I went on that coaster almost on release back in late 90's and had a blast, it was awesome. Went again to sunny california many years later with my SO and... we left the ride very disappointed (and bruised) because it didn't age well as the video says. "A huge pile of crap" was probably the best description for the ride at the time. Not fun at all. I hope I get to test the new version someday !

Great video! This is such a fun intense roller coaster, it pulls so many gs and has so much airtime, best coaster there 100%, my only problem is THE LINES. If you head there first you still have to wait like 20min and the one train ops make you wait 10 minutes even if you get a frotd (And it's my home park btw)... my only problem with the park is the one train ops.

Great vid. I would have liked to have ridden the original before the refurb. Completely different sub-topic; I want to know from anyone in the coaster community, was there ever an Arrow or Vekoma ride before 2000 that was good? I mean did Arrow ever build a coaster that was a great ride from the day it opened [brand new] to now - if it's still standing and the same goes for Vekoma [ignoring newer rides, just their older models]. I have not ridden any rides built by either company that I like. They are all rough, painful and poorly built/poor quality, and none that I know of have aged well at all. Please bear in mind my list of ridden coasters is a lot less/smaller than the majority of people I know online [youtubers who can travel and ride coasters frequently]. This is due to that fact that even getting around the UK to do the parks here is a day trip which needs forward planning and funds. No hate or bullying please, I'm asking for advice and/or opinions with names, locations and maybe some other info so I can research them on wiki [possibly]. Thank you :-)

A really good ride by arrow is Tennessee Tornado, while the Rock 'n' roller coaster rides by Vekoma are pretty great too. But, Vekoma have made leaps and bounds producing rides recently. They are much more than they used to be :)

I can understand the appeal there, and don't doubt it would be a decent ride, but that would be like, chippin off all the remaining bàs reliefs from the Parthenon to make room for the new Starbucks sign. I understand the Acropolis does in fact need a Starbucks, but why not just stick it in the Temple of Athena Nike?
