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!

    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.

    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. 👎
