The GhostRider roller coaster extends 4,533 feet in length, reaches a height of 118 feet, and achieves speeds of 56 miles per hour along its track.
Opening in December 1998, the Custom Coasters International creation required an investment of 24 million dollars and underwent a complete renovation by Great Coasters International in 2015.
