Scooby's Ghoster Coaster, Steel roller coaster in Kings Island, Ohio

Scooby's Ghoster Coaster is a family suspended coaster with two-person inline seating per car, climbing to about 35 feet and traveling at roughly 8 miles per hour. The track uses a gentle lift mechanism and dips that create light thrills without intense forces.

Launched in 1998, the ride became the first suspended coaster of its kind engineered specifically for children by manufacturer Caripro. This innovation demonstrated that safe thrills could be created for younger riders.

The ride brings Scooby-Doo characters to the park's Hanna-Barbera Land section, creating a themed space where children recognize the cartoon figures they enjoy watching.

Children must be at least 36 inches tall to ride, which most elementary school kids can meet. The entire ride lasts roughly 50 seconds and sits in an easy-to-reach spot within the park's Hanna-Barbera Land area.

An unusual feature sets it apart for first-time riders: the ride uses a distinctive lift system that gradually raises passengers upward before releasing them into controlled descents. This engineering choice created a gentler experience for children experiencing speed for the first time.
