Ghoster Coaster, Junior wooden roller coaster in Canada's Wonderland, Vaughan, Canada
Ghoster Coaster is a wooden roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. The track runs through a series of gentle drops and turns, and the trains carry multiple rows of passengers through a layout built for younger riders.
The ride was part of the original lineup when Canada's Wonderland opened in 1981, making it one of the oldest attractions still running in the park. It carried the name Scooby's Gasping Ghoster Coaster for nearly three decades before being renamed in 2010.
The Ghoster Coaster sits in a section of the park designed for younger visitors, surrounded by other family-friendly rides. For many children, it serves as their first roller coaster, which makes it a memorable stop within Canada's Wonderland.
There is a height requirement to ride, so it is worth checking it before heading to the queue, especially with young children. The ride tends to draw shorter lines compared to the larger coasters in the park, making it easier to fit into a visit.
The Ghoster Coaster has been running for over 40 years, and its wooden structure has been maintained well enough that the ride still feels smooth by the standards of wooden coasters. This level of upkeep is uncommon for a ride of its age, as older wooden coasters often become rougher over time.
