Lapho abantu baseCedar Fair (abasebenza ngokuzikhandla abagijima iCedar Point yase-Ohio ) bathenga uKotott's Berry Farm emndenini wakwaNotott ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yawo-1990, enye yezinto zokuqala abazenzayo yilokho azi kahle kakhulu: Bakhele i-coaster-ass coaster . I-GhostRider ihlanganisa i-charm yendabuko ye-woodie nekhono lomshini wosuku lwanamuhla, futhi linikeza umoya ogcwele umoya, ophuma ngaphandle kokulawula (ngendlela enhle, ehamba ngamapulangwe), nokuhamba okujabulisayo.

Ngendlela yayo ye-rustic yellow-pine, izitimela zezimoto zamagoli, kanye ne-Old-West ekhethiwe ukulayisha isiteshi, i-GhostRider ihambela ngqo ku-Knott's Berry Farm's Ghost Town endaweni. Heck, likhona ngisho negama elithi "Ghost" egameni layo.
Umzila wokugcoba ekugcineni ubeka abagibeli endaweni ye-ratback-maze endaweni engaphansi kwe-"GhostRider Mining Company" esiteshini sokugibela. Ngemva kokubuya emuva nangaphezulu, abagibeli bakhuphuka isiteji sezinyathelo kuze kufike endaweni yokulayisha ukuze uthole amanye ama-rat-maze line fun. Ngenxa yokuthi i-GhostRider injalo (efanelekile) i-coaster ethandwa kakhulu, lungilungele isikhathi eside ulinde emgqeni, ikakhulukazi phakathi nezinsuku zokubamba iqhaza epaki.

Angiqiniseki ukuthi abakhelwane bepaki bakwenza ngani.
I-Ghostly Airtime
Isandla sokungakwesokunxele siphendulela phansi phansi kwehla kuveza i-twinge ye-airtime. I-camelback hill elandelayo ivula umfudlana we-airtime . I-GhostRider yilapho ihamba ngechungechunge olujabulisayo lwezinguquko kanye nokujika okukhiqiza ezinye izikhathi ezimangalisayo ezingaphandle kwezihlalo zakho. Izingxenye ezisebhange zethrekhi zenza i-Gs yamuva ehlinzeka ngama-oomph amaningi, kodwa yenza ushintsho olunzima kakhulu (ngokungafani namanye ama-coasters lapho ama-Gs aphezulu angakwazi khona ukungena endaweni yokuhlushwa). Yilokho okushiwo ama-woodies amahle kakhulu.
Igama lokuqapha mayelana namandla e-lateral G: Ukujabulela kangcono inkampani yomlingani wakho wokuhlala. Naphezu kokuhlukanisa izihlalo, izinqola zokugibela zibangela ukuba abagibeli bahlasele.
Yakhiwe ngasemaphethelweni ka Knott's Berry Farm, i-GhostRider isebenza njengekhadi elikhulu lokushaya lepaki. Cishe ingxenye yesithathu yomgwaqo ihamba ngaphandle kwendawo.

Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant kanye nezitolo ku-Beach Avenue.
U-Knott's uthi ukugibela kuthatha imizuzu emibili, kodwa kubonakala kude kakhulu. Lokhu akusho ngendlela engafanele; I-GhostRider iyi-hoot kusukela ekuqaleni kuya ekupheleni.
Ukubuya Ukunqoba
Ekuqaleni eyakhiwe ama-coaster ama-coaster angenakukhohlwa ku-Custom Coasters International (umkhiqizi uvale isitolo sakhe ngo-2002), lo mzila ugcina isivinini sasemvelo namandla kuze kufike ukuqhuma kokugcina emuva esiteshini. Eyaziwa nge-physics-defying voodoo yabo, ama-CCI abonakala sengathi athola isivinini kunokuba aqede izakhi zokugcina njengemishini eminingi ejabulisayo. I-GhostRider iyisibonelo esihle semilingo ye-CCI.
Lapho iqala ukuvulwa ngo-1998 nangemva kweminyaka eminingana emva kwalokho, i-GhostRider yahlonishwa njengabagibeli bezinkampani kanye nabalandeli abaningi abafana nabo. Njengama-coasters amaningi amapulangwe, kunjalo, akuzange ikhule kahle futhi ekugcineni yaba yingozi kakhulu. Ngenhlanhla, uKnott akazange akwazi ukuyeka umoya. Esikhundleni salokho, kuvaliwe ukuhamba ngo-2015 ngenzuzo engcono kakhulu edingekayo.
Inkampani yokugibela, i-Great Coasters International, isuse yonke ithrekhi iphinde ishintshele, iphinda iphrofayili ezinye izingxenye zethrekhi, futhi ithathe indawo izitimela.
I-GhostRider yavulwa futhi ekumemezelweni okukhulu ngo-2016. Ulwazi lokugibela luhamba bushelelezi kunokuba lube luhle kakhulu eminyakeni yalo yokugcina ngaphambi kokuba lulungiswe. I-still has the coaster wood characteristic ukuthi abalandeli epaki bafuna, noma kunjalo. Isihlalo sangemuva, ikakhulukazi, manje sinikeza uhambo oluqhakazile, olusendle nolwaluhlaza. I-GhostRider iphinde ibe omunye wama-coasters wezinkuni zezwe.
