On Dec 8th,
1998, Knott's Berry Farm unleashed their largest capital investment to date.
GhostRider is the longest, fastest, and definitely the most thrilling wooden
roller coaster on the west coast!
This Panoramic shot of Ghost Rider shows off it's
massive structure.
The entire second half of the ride is located within the
structure and is almost hidden from the outside view.
Ghost Rider's station still has a lot of work left. As
you can see from this photo,
the track goes right over the station!
The station went up very
quickly as did the lift hill and first drop just behind it!
The drop out of
the station should allow the train to pick up a good amount of speed though the
banked turn then up to the chain lift.
This model of Ghost Rider should give you a better
idea of the ride's layout.
CCI's Randy Larrick puts some finishing touches on GhostRider.
The first test runs are a success!
The initial drop is one of CCI's steepest.
The perfect parabolic hill looks like it
might produce some decent airtime.
Just before descending down this drop
coming off the first swooping turnaround, the train
maneuvers through an s-turn, them plummets down the drop!
The train hit's a little 'pop' just
before entering the helix!
