Ghoster Coaster

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.

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.

If someone was interested in purchasing one of the old HB benches who would you call?

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.

You nailed it! I also seem to remember it being a very jerky ride all the way through.

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.

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.

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.

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. :lol:

Good riddance.
