Poltergeist

Roller coaster
Minimum height to ride: 54 inches

About Poltergeist

This 2,700-foot coaster hits a maximum speed of 60 mph and pulls an estimated 4.5 G's during its one-minute, 15-second trip. This linear-induction powered coaster has an awesome 'kick' as it propells you to top of the track without the use of a chain. You can hear this ride in operation as you walk up to the main entrance to the park. The sound is as if the 'ghost' is calling you to it's lair. It is located across the RR tracks past Sangerfest Halle.

This ride is all together AWESOME. It is so thrilling, exciting, and fast! The launch is awesome. I have to admit I was scared to death to ride, but I don't regret doing it. However, I just have a few things against it: 1. There are blue bars inches away from your head! 2. Too short! 3. After the first time, it gets kind of old. - Asher Oosterbaan
