jarmor Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 "Scoob! I, like, totally lost the Ghoster Coaster""Way to go, Wraggie--jerk!" I wonder how this bodes for PKD's version. Not that it would be a great loss. Not the same coaster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Sucks, I won't ever get this credit either. But oh well, one less reason for me to need to go to PKI. As far as PKDs version goes.....PKD doesn't have a Caripro Batflyer, never did. Their "Ghoster Coaster" is a Jr Woodie, the same as PKIs "Beastie".

ebl Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I rode the one at Legoland (known as Spellbreaker). It was...well...kinda fun, but waaaayyyyy too short. If I remember, I waited about 20 minutes for it and there were about a dozen people in line ahead of me. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 They look like fun rides but I don't think I would want to wait more than 10 or 15 minutes for it. Maybe if they had 4 or 5 tracks running at once it would increase capacity but of course, that would get expensive and something probably most parks wouldn't want to do.

niiicolaaah Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 pkd's ghoster coaster is wooden, like pcw's.... if i'm not mistaken. which i'm pretty sure i'm not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianojohn Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Wow, luckily I rode it in 2000 instead of Flight of Fear. I was very underwhelmed, and the low capacity thing...well, said to see it go, but not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilleniumMadMan Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hi, this is my first post here> We went to PKI this August and wanted to get ALL the credits (obviously). We waited for about 20 mins. for Ghoster Coaster, and realized that we weren't but 10 feet further in the queue. So we said !@%! it, and went to Beastie. (sniff) I shall never have that credit (sniff). Oh, well, I'm sure Beastie was better anyway. BTW, no Face/Off credit either, closed all day.

Scaparri Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 ^Welcome to the the TPR boards! After having this credit elude for so many years, I finally rode it in October...and my testicles are still swolen. Seriously, this was the epitomy of a piece of crap. I knew I needed to grab the credit while I had the chance since I had heard they were going to rip it out. Employees in the area later "confirmed" this. Glad to see it going. -Scott "scariest freakin' coaster ever!" Parrish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFanatic Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I have rode it twice. Both times in the early morning and both times only for the credit (Catrina needed the second time). I will not miss this ball-beating suck machine one bit. Many people I know don't even consider it a coaster because it never goes up once. They probably do have a point. While I am sure it is great for the kids, I bet they can do better than this 20-30 pph "coaster". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterzak Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I waited an hour on closing day to get this credit before it was packed up. I'm pretty sure I was one of the last "big kids" to ride this bad boy. Oh my did it suck ... the trims were HORRIBLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what this bodes for Hanna Barbera characters in general at PKI and PKD? The Beastie started out with the name The Scooby Doo till the Beast opened in 1979. Next year it will be the Odd coaster or something like that. So far Kings Island has had 3 coasters named after Scooby Doo and two are still in the park.

disneygurlz2s Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I agree with Robb... worse part of this ride was capacity!! Looking forward to what 2006 will bring! Shari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Could the bad capacity be blamed on enthusiast credit whores? Think about it, the ride is meant for children, and occasionaly their parents. Maybe if all the adults who have no business riding, the little kids wouldn't have to wait so long and the capacity wouldn't be a problem. A question for those who actually ride these kind of rides(without a child), doesn't it emberass you? Why are these credits so important? After riding a certain amount of coasters, do you get a prize? Is money involved? If so, where do I sign up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I have this credit! I rode it once, a decade ago. I waited well over an hour for it. A decade ago? It opened in 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
