9/10 some people think its rough, and it is, but not in the front seat its not!!!! my friend christian pretty much broke his back riding. but great for airtime-junkies! - Corey Nelson

Fun, but very rough. I went on i and it hurt my hip and i couldn't walk right the rest of the day. 7 - Kathryn Bonner

In it's early years, it was one of the best wooden coasters in the country. However, it has not aged well, and now I refuse to ride due to a ride experience that can only be described as painful. Not uncomfortable, painful. Knott's should consider some extensive refurbishment to the ride before someone gets significantly injured and sues. I've heard people who are in perfect health complain that they had sore backs for days after their visits to the park. Once upon a time: Pefection. Now: Intolerable. - Josh Bishop

I love GostRider! It is my favorite woodie. I have so many favorite woodies. GhostRider and Terminator are my top favorites. - Sarah Meeks

9/10 My first roller coaster. It has an everlasting spot on my heart. - Jack Borgeson

I love Ghostrider! It is the best Woodie in the world, not to mention the longest and fastest. Leave it to California to have the longest woodie in the world! Represent!!! =D - Sarah E
