Ghostrider Ride

The people who run the cost Rider are extremely rude especially the lady with bright blonde hair long she act like is a prison guard I would never come back or recommend anybody to come here

Ghostrider is my favorite ride at knotts. I remember when I was little I used to be afraid of this ride but I’m not afraid of it now. It’s usually the first ride I go on after entering the park because of the location of the entrance. I usually go on multiple times during the day but my favorite time to go on is at night. I’m getting the season passes for next year so that I could go on it when it reopens next year.

By far the best ride at Knott’s. I’m a Six Flags fanatic… and this ride is more intense than any ride at Magic Mountain for me.
It is very rough and bumpy, and the turns can be extremely sharp. This seems to end up being a problem for adults rather than children. These characteristics are what make the ride so incredible, but I can see why people don’t like it. It gives that survival-​mode adrenaline rush that us coaster junkies lose on relatively smooth state-​of-​the-​art steel coasters. This makes for a very unique experience.
This ride is more extreme than it’s newer Six Flags counterpart — Apocalypse /​Terminator, so be prepared. Even having been on that one, I was not prepared for this one. ¹⁰⁄₁₀.

AVOID THIS RIDE!!! If I could give no stars I would. I remember going on this ride years ago and had so much fun. That definetly changed. The ride needs some serious fixing, it shakes and jolts you so hard it actually gave me a headache and made me strain my neck.

I can’t believe it took this long for someone to add Ghost Rider. Here’s my take: Santa Cruz’s Giant Dipper is still my favorite. But Ghost Rider is the only roller coaster I’ve ever ridden that challenged the Dipper’s #1 ranking.
I went on the ride not long after it opened. I waited a long time. I hate to wait in lines. When the ride was over, I got in line again. It was that good.
The Ghost Rider has a strong out-​of-​control feel. It’s intentionally unpainted, so it looks older and more unmaintained than it really is, and that raises the nervousness level. It’s fast, but doesn’t try to break speed records. Instead, the curves are quite tight, the hills have good air time, the elements come quickly, and you get thrown into everything. So it has an excitement that isn’t found on steel coasters that try to blow riders away by being 200 feet tall and having 10 loops.
It is one of the rougher rides I’ve been on, and I can understand how some people get headaches and whiplash on this ride. It’s important to be ready for anything. The second you see a curve coming, lean into it before entering the curve.
Bottom line: the Ghost Rider is mostly for coaster enthusiasts and thrillseekers. Not for newbies or the squeamish; they can stay off the ride and hold everything you were carrying (on one of my many trips, I wrapped my camera strap around my arm and put the camera under my shirt, and I still felt like I was going to lose it). If Magic Mountain has your kind of ride, and you can go on only one ride at Knott’s, then ride this one too; IMHO, Ghost Rider is by far the most exciting ride at Knott’s Berry Farm.

I had fun with Xcelerator, Supereme Scream, Pony Express, but I got so sick from this ride from all the unnecessary rattling and shaking. Felt like throwing up and could not do anything for the rest of the evening.

Ghostrider, one of the older rides at Knott’s Berry Farm that still has a lot to offer because at 118 feet, it is still the tallest wooded roller coaster and it actually last two minutes. The ride has two majestic climbs, followed by their great thrilling drops that lead into the rest of what the ride has to offer. The two drops are the best parts of the ride in my opinion.
The wooden roller coaster is a bit bumpy and harsh on the turns, so if you have any existing medical issues, I would reconsider riding it. It is not as smooth at the Silver Bullet, but it has character. It’s top speed is 56 MPH, so hold on to you hats and prepare for the adrenaline rush. The gold mine theme is pretty cool, situated in the middle of Ghost Town with its Old Western appeal.
I stood looking up at this beast, I could not believe it was a ll made of wood. We went on this ride twice. The first time, there was no line, the second time, we waited for 45 minutes to get on.

If I were to ride one ride at Knott’s Berry Farm, it would be this one. This is, by far, the best wooden roller coaster on the West Coast in my opinion. Grizzly at Great America and Roar at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom can’t touch this. It’s also the longest wooden roller coaster on the West Coast and has two major drops.
For those complaining about the shakiness, it’s a wooden roller coaster: it comes with the territory.
Always a KBF favorite and definitely one you should ride at night time.

I love an old-​school wooden roller coaster. The initial drop is so much fun. My hubby still can’t hold his hands up the whole way, hahaha. I always enjoy this ride, but it is bumpy. It has given me a small headache afterwards when I sit near the back. This has not happened in the first car. Definitely worth going on for those who don’t care about loops.

A bumpy high speed ride without going backwards or upside down. Probably one of the longest waits at Knotts but the ride itself is one of the longer rides. Well over 2 minutes, so you cannot hold your breath for the whole ride. Also probably one of the rides where it is worth the extra wait to sit in front.

It should be torn down. It’s way too bumpy to be enjoyable, and shakes you around the whole time. A few of my friends have gotten whiplash from it. I felt my organs bouncing around and hitting each other. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I’m in my mid 20s and in good health, with no medical issues. I was sitting towards the middle.

So I was visiting the park with a small group of friends, one of whom is an older woman who has some back issues. She decided she would allow herself to ride one roller coaster that day so we asked one of the park workers to give us a little insight on all the coasters there. In his words…
«Ghostrider is like being in violent car crash over and over again.»
Needless to say, she chose not to ride this one. A couple of us did ride it and he was right, it WAS like being in a car crash… LOL. Ghostrider jolts you and throws you mercilessly all over the place. It was my favorite ride of the day. :)

One of my favorites here at knotts. I love how fast it goes and all the twist and turns.

One of my favorite rides here at Knotts berry Farm. Really fun and exciting even though it’s a little rough. Line wasn’t very long which was perfect. I also like that you can choose if you want front load seating or the back. Overall great ride.
