GhostRider is a wooden roller coaster at Knott's Berry Farm, a theme park in Buena Park, California. It is located in the Ghost Town section of the park, south of the main entrance. It is the longest wooden coaster on the West Coast.
You will approach the ride near the entrance to Ghost Town. The queue begins by going through a mysterious mining tunnel and then going into the mine-themed queue house. You will wait on both stories of the queue and then enter one of the silver, copper, or gold colored "mine trains." There is a small initial descent into a ravine, where you will sweep to the right and ascend the lift hill. The first 108 foot drop ensues and is followed by a good supply of airtime. The ride follows a double out and back pattern. Most of the attraction resides on the parking lot near the marketplace.
