Ghostrider Front Row POV | California’s Best Wooden Roller Coaster! Knott's Berry Farm
Ойын-сауық
Is this California's best roller coaster? Many would argue it is! Ghostrider is the legendary wooden roller coaster towering over the front of Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park. It features an INSANE amount of wood due to the local requirements for earthquake proofing, giving this ride a very imposing structure! In 2016 the ride was upgraded by GCI to feature millennium flyer trains and extremely smooth track. It is a must ride during the day, and an even better ride at night!

The drop after the never used mid course brake run in the back row is so great.

Why is this thing actually so good looking? I never understood the hype behind it but now it makes sense.

@@maxhagenauer24as someone with ten rides on it in the past 5 months it’s amazing problably my #2 under xcelerator at that park
I always loved how this thing dove in and out of the structure, it's such a neat design.
There's a reason I've waited 4+ hours for this thing on multiple occasions.
The longest road trip I have ever taken was to experience this coaster. Best wood coaster in the world in my opinion. I'd clone this and make a Kemah Boardwalk in metro Detroit.
It looks and sounds so smooth.

the retracking did wonders
I just can’t get past how I feel after this ride. I feel like a little kid again laughing my butt off and even though other rides I’ve ridden are more impressive, this one makes me the happiest
wont ever forget the 3 back row rides i got right before park closing on my last visit in 2022. My butt was out of the seat for most of the ride haha

I love riding wooden coasters. I actually enjoy the shaky ride. I remember riding the Gold Rusher at Magic Mountain as a kid and went to he back of the car because the line for the front was packed. Had a blast and I figured that riding at the front would have been amazing. What a let down. Back of the train everytime since then.
I was just at Knott's yesterday. Such an awesome ride, especially at night. Love GhostRider. Waited 2 hours in line just to get on.
Fantastic ride and thanks for posting - I can't ride coasters anymore 😥
i just went on this ride today and it was so intense 😂 the drops made my stomach feel all weird it was so fun… the only thing is the line though. it took about a hour or more to get on, but it was totally worth it🔥
My favorite wooden coaster on the West Coast! This thing is amazing!
My favorite ride at the park!

So many air time moments and floaters
I love all of your videos. You always put us right in the front seat with you. Thankyou so much.🎢🎢🎢🎢
this was my first big coaster and still my fav coaster today. thanks for the pov!
It’s hard to see the lateral g’s in pov’s of this ride but they are absolutely insane in real life
So glad to have this elite woodie at my home park, the layout is incredible
Great POV, Taylor!!❤
My favorite ride of all time. At night in the back is the BEST!
8 years since the renovation, and it still rides great. Knott's has been going through some struggles lately, but I will say they've done a fantastic job with the upkeep on Ghostrider. Now if only I could say the same for Ops...
My favourite traditional wooden coaster. So, so good.
I'm a local here. Blessed to have this coaster.❤
Always amazing 😀😀
Wood has a W in it for a reason.
I’m going to knott’s tomorrow, I didn’t realize GhostRider was running this good, I remember it being a little more rough in November last year. Still my favorite coaster I’ve ever ridden. Nice POV, by the way
This looks so fun🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Its scary on the back row
while airtime and laterals are a great part of this ride, what truly makes it for me is the ridiculous pacing that makes it feel like the ride is going the same speed the entire time. This one never gets old.
I'm from NE OH-IO and that is a great coaster❤ love it ❣️ 😊
I really need to get to some more parks in the US!
My #1 woodie! El Toro is a close 2nd, but you cant beat Scary Farm night rides!
The first half looks like it meanders a lot but the second half looks really really good

A small sneak peek at whatever is replacing The Depths for Scary Farm! From what I could see, it looks like they're moving the Maze Entrance to the other side of the show building, instead of by the gate! I'm excited to see what they've been cooking up!

Although ghost rider was my first big ride and is still one of my favorites I have to say I do like x2 more that said I still love ghost rider
Yeeeeeeeeessssssss
It was hauling 😮
Classic
CCI used to make some incredible woodies
There’s a reason the wait time is 2-3 hours during busy season.
While I prefer xcelerator in the park and gold striker in the state, this ride is still quite good but it suffers from small bits of dead spots/pacing inconsistencies. Still super fun tho.
How do you get the video so darn smooth without artifacts.
If Cedar Point puts in a new wooden coaster would you rather it be like this? or like mystic timbers at Kings Island?
I rode this and regretted everytging it was my 1st rollercoaster
This is easily the best in the park.
very mystic timbers ish
W coaster
I went to knotts once. Ghostrider was closed for its retrack😢
Did you film a back row POV of this too?

Hi
gHOSTRIDER IS GOOD
Might be a hot take but this ride is on the same level as Silver Bullet
no relation with the biker with a fiery skull for a head
Uu❤
It’s crazy how this coaster is so well received, but then something like the Predator at Six Flags Darien Lake is received so poorly regardless of the fact that they have very similar layouts

I prefer gold striker at Californias great america
Not as good as Renegade
IMHO, .I don’t get the hype. It’s mid, at best. Maybe it’s the best on the west coast, but that ain’t sayin much.
Looks slow and boring. Never understood the hype 🤔

I also personally prefer the back over the front, especially with how it handles certain sections (drop off the midcourse in the back is one of the best airtime moments of any coaster).
I found this ride to be very overrated
Sorry, but I have to disagree. It's definitely not California's best. I heard nothing but good things about it and so when I finally rode it for the first time in October 2022 I went on it with high expectations and was totally disappointed. It still felt rough and janky. I even smacked my elbow on the side of the car during one of the turns and ended up coming off it with a large bruise. 👎
