thebeastisawsume Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Does anyone know were the Coaster Coasters graveyard is located a Kings Island?
Shman Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 There use to be sections of the track along with the lift tower up on the hill behind SOB, back on the way to the greenhouse. There are quite a few things back there, old tram cars, old HB benches, and way back in the trees a feeding/sleeping house from the safari. I think that the steel from the track may have been taken away to scrap when they took the King Cobra track...but I could be wrong. There were a few of the trains from Ghoster Coaster back behind the auto maintence shop sheds last year.
kings_island~thrill is me! Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I don't know were the Ghoster Coasters graveyard is. But I know were The Beast graveyard is!
flightoffear1996 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I still get beleive I wait 2 1/2 hours for the Ghoster Coaster.
LongliveKingsCobra Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 The Trains are in the stoarage area on the road that employees take, bout 100 ft from BB
dare-to-fly Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 The Trains are in the stoarage area on the road that employees take, bout 100 ft from BB If you can call them trains. I still get beleive I wait 2 1/2 hours for the Ghoster Coaster. I can believe that. The capacity was miserable, and it was in a BUSY part of the park. I only rode it once for the credit.
KingCobra Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Not only was it horrible for compacity, it was very um uncomfortable for males how the cars were oriented as well had having really hard brakes at the end of the ride. I also only just rode it once for the credit, and never again.
kittenpooh Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Never had any interest in it. Glad I never rode it......
The Retro Kid Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 There use to be sections of the track along with the lift tower up on the hill behind SOB, back on the way to the greenhouse. There are quite a few things back there, old tram cars, old HB benches, and way back in the trees a feeding/sleeping house from the safari. . . If someone was interested in purchasing one of the old HB benches who would you call?

I also only just rode it once for the credit, and never again. You nailed it! I also seem to remember it being a very jerky ride all the way through.

Someone with the screen name of King Cobra is talking about another coaster being uncomfortable for male rider??????
Mighty Mouse Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 It wasn't real comfortable for female riders either. My son was just the right age at the time to want to ride it a few times every time we went to the park.
thebeastisawsume Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 I only rode it 2 times just because of the wait.
The Interpreter Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Ride The Coaster at New York, New York Casino in Las Vegas formerly known as Manhattan Express and get back to me on that.
goofywdw Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 ^Ahhhhhh the horror! Yeah that was pretty bad.
bzahlong Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I'd say it's a toss up between SOB and the Ghoster Coaster. They were both excruciatingly painful back in the day.

Aaron88stang Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Ride The Coaster at New York, New York Casino in Las Vegas formerly known as Manhattan Express and get back to me on that. I rode Manhattan Express about 10 years ago and don't remember it being particularly good or bad, however I do remember that there was a woman in line ahead of me that looked exactly like Boss Hogg from The Dukes of Hazard. Now that was scary.
Guest rcfreak339 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I rode it two years ago, Horrible, Horrible ride.....
coaster_junky Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 i remember one time we went to the park and got in an hour early and i wanted to go strait to that, so my mom and dad put me and my sister on it and we rode it once and i went to get off because i hated it and the ride ops insisted on me and my sister riding it again since there was no line, but after two times in a row i didn't want to ride it ever again.
IndyGuy4KI Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 The little kids always seemed to like Goaster Coaster for they didn't know any better...
beastrider97 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Capacity. Horribe. Ride. Horrible. Overall. Horrible
The Interpreter Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Except, except, except...ole Terpy will always have a fond place in his heart for that thing, for many reasons: * No matter how big ole Terpy got, and he did, he always just managed to fit that thing..unlike some brethren coasters that rejected him, like Vertical Velocity, Superman: Ultimate Escape and Superman: Ultimate Flight at SFOG. Terpy has wide feet, and that posed the biggest problem in boarding Ghoster Coaster. * Once Terpy started losing weight (again), he fit it with thrilling ease. * But alas, as he got closer and closer to normal sized human territory, the thing disappeared, never to be boarded again. Now ole Terpy will never know how he would have fit once he was done with this life experiment of becoming a non-overweight homo sapiens. That all being said, stopping on that thing was painful, especially for the males of the species, especially the post puberty ones. Not as bad as Acrophobia, but close.
fanofbigmedia Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I still get beleive I wait 2 1/2 hours for the Ghoster Coaster. notsoFunny story... When my oldest son was about 3, my wife took him on the Ghoster Coaster. I don't believe they waited 2 1/2 hours, but they waited a really long time. As they neared the front of the queue, my son announced his need for a biobreak. My wife, who's patience was beyond gone by this point, decided to wait it out and get on the ride anyway. Needless to say, they both got wet on Scooby's Ghoster Coaster. Good riddance.
Gordon Bombay Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 They should remove the Crypt and put Ghoster Coaster in the building, at least there will be something worth riding on the inside.
