Amusement Ride Safety Alert

 

Attraction: Ghostrider

Status: Open

ID #: 0823

Summary: Riders on this roller coaster have indicated issues with a rough unforgiving roller coaster that seems to get a lot more rough as it continues through it's course.

Migraine headaches being triggered, riders coming off with blurry vision, vertigo, sore necks and backs were not uncommon issues. Back, middle, or front of train issues, did not seem to matter, issues were still being observed.

It's tough, but when asked about this roller coaster by the public, we can only show what we have and inform people to avoid this roller coaster. We have passed this alert on to Knott's Berry Farm and perhaps they will be as kind to inform their customers what is being done with this roller coaster.

This safety alert is now open and we are awaiting a response from this venue regarding the above information...
