Thaum Cedar Fair folks (cov neeg ua haujlwm coaster-crazy uas khiav Ohio's Cedar Point) yuav Knott's Berry Farm los ntawm tsev neeg Knott thaum xyoo 1990, ib qho ntawm thawj yam uas lawv tau ua yog qhov lawv paub zoo tshaj plaws: Lawv tsim ib tug kick-ass coaster. GhostRider muab cov kev ntxim nyiam ntawm cov ntoo nrog lub siab zoo ntawm lub tshuab zoo siab niaj hnub no, thiab nws muaj lub sijhawm huab cua puv, tsis muaj kev tswj hwm (hauv txoj kev zoo, ntoo coaster), thiab caij zoo siab.

Nrog nws cov rustic daj-pine taug kev, "kuv lub tsheb" tsheb ciav hlau, thiab Old-West adorned chaw nres tsheb, GhostRider haum rau hauv Knott's Berry Farm's Ghost Town cheeb tsam. Heck, nws txawm muaj lo lus "Dab" nyob rau hauv nws lub npe.

Ib qho kev sib tw thaum kawg tso cov neeg caij tsheb mus rau hauv qhov hloov pauv rov qab nas-maze nyob rau theem av ntawm "GhostRider Mining Company" chaw nres tsheb. Tom qab inching rov qab thiab tawm, cov neeg caij tsheb nce ib txheej ntawm cov ntaiv mus txogqhov chaw thau khoom rau qee qhov ntau nas-maze kab lom zem. Vim GhostRider yog qhov zoo li no (deservedly) nrov coaster, npaj rau ntev tos nyob rau hauv kab, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog nyob rau hauv lub hnub busier ntawm lub tiaj ua si. Thiab ces, npaj rau caij zoo heev.

Lub tsheb ciav hlau tawm ntawm qhov chaw nres tsheb, ntug dej hiav txwv mus rau qhov kwj deg uas hla cov kab thauj khoom, thiab nce toj nce toj. Qhov tseem ceeb ntawm kev caij tsheb yog thawj zaug, ceeb toom-zoo meej, 108-foot banked poob. Txhawm rau kom txaus siab rau cov neeg nyob sib ze thiab txo cov suab nrov, Knott tau npog qhov poob nrog cov ntaub thaiv hlau. Thaum nws txwv cov neeg caij tsheb cov kev xav me ntsis, lub canopy ntxiv rau GhostRider qhov tshwj xeeb mystique thiab tiag tiag zoo li ua kom muaj zog ntawm lub tsheb ciav hlau clanking thiab cov neeg caij tsheb quaj. Peb tsis paub meej tias lub tiaj ua si cov neeg nyob ze ua dab tsi.

Tsab laug nrawm nrawm rau hauv qab ntawm qhov poob ua rau twinge ntawm airtime. Lub roob camelback uas ua raws li unleashes torrent ntawm airtime. GhostRider tom qab ntawd me ntsis dhau los ntawm qhov zoo siab ntawm kev sib tw thiab hloov pauv uas tsim qee lub sijhawm zoo tshaj plaws ntawm koj lub rooj zaum. Qhov chaw tso nyiaj ntawm txoj kev taug kev tsim cov Gs sab nraud uas muaj ntau ntawm oomph, tab sis ua rau kev hloov pauv tau zoo (tsis zoo li lwm cov coasters uas khaus lateral Gs tuaj yeem ciam teb rau kev tsim txom). Nov yog qhov zoo tshaj plaws woodies txhua yam hais txog.

Ib lo lus ceev faj txog cov G rog tom qab: Koj tau zoo siab rau lub tuam txhab ntawm koj tus phooj ywg zaum. Txawm hais tias muaj qhov sib cais ntawm lub rooj zaum, lub rooj zaum helices ua rau cov neeg caij tsheb hla mus rau ib leeg.

Ua rau ntawm ntug ntawm Knott's Berry Farm, GhostRider ua daim npav hu xov tooj zoo raulub tiaj ua si. Kwv yees li ib feem peb ntawm kev caij tsheb tau nthuav tawm sab nraum nws thaj tsam. Ib qho ntawm nws qhov kev hloov pauv yuav coj cov neeg caij tsheb hla Grand Avenue thiab mus rau qhov uas tau ua qhov chaw nres tsheb. Cov tsheb ciav hlau zoom nyob ib sab ntawm Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant thiab cov khw ntawm Beach Avenue.

Knott hais tias kev caij tsheb yuav siv sijhawm ob feeb, tab sis nws xav tias ntev dua. Qhov ntawd tsis txhais hais tias nyob rau hauv txoj kev tsis zoo; GhostRider yog ib tug hoot los ntawm pib mus rau thaum xaus.

Triumphant Rov qab

Keeb kwm ua los ntawm kev ploj mus-tab sis-tsis-tsis nco qab coaster mavens ntawm Custom Coasters International (cov chaw tsim khoom kaw nws lub khw hauv xyoo 2002), kev caij tsheb ceev ceev thiab lub zog kom txog thaum kawg nres khiav rov qab mus rau qhov chaw nres tsheb. Paub txog lawv cov physics-defying voodoo, CCI coasters zoo li tuaj yeem ceev ceev es tsis txhob poob los ntawm cov ntsiab lus kawg zoo li ntau lub tshuab zoo siab. GhostRider yog ib qho piv txwv tseem ceeb ntawm CCI khawv koob.

Thaum nws xub qhib xyoo 1998 thiab ntau xyoo tom qab ntawd, GhostRider tau raug qhuas tias yog caij tsheb zoo los ntawm cov neeg nyiam caij nkoj thiab ntau tus kiv cua sib xws. Raws li nrog ntau cov ntoo coasters txawm li cas los xij, nws tsis muaj hnub nyoog zoo thiab nws thiaj li dhau los ua ntxhib heev. Hmoov zoo, Knott's tsis, er, tso tus dab. Hloov chaw, nws kaw qhov kev caij tsheb hauv xyoo 2015 rau kev tsim kho ntau yam. Lub tuam txhab caij tsheb, Great Coasters International, tshem tawm tag nrho cov kev taug qab thiab hloov nws, rov ua qee ntu ntawm kev khiav, thiab pauv cov tsheb ciav hlau rau cov khoom tshiab.

GhostRider rov qhib dua rau qhov kev qhuas zoo hauv xyoo 2016. Kev caij tsheb tau zoo dua li nws tau ua nyob rau xyoo kawg ua ntej nws yogkho dua tshiab. Nws tseem muaj cov yam ntxwv ntawm cov ntoo coaster xav tias cov kiv cua ntawm cov chaw ua si xav tau, txawm li cas los xij. Lub rooj zaum nram qab, tshwj xeeb, tam sim no muaj kev ua kom muaj zog, zoo nkauj, thiab caij tsheb.

GhostRider yog ib zaug ntxiv ntawm lub teb chaws tus thawj coj ntoo coasters.
