That is correct! Only now it runs Morgan rolling/shuffling stock instead of it's beautiful old P&C trains.

*Boo hoo*:(

I miss the old gal, even if she did shake the spit out of you. (VERY rough in the years leading up to The End)

I've always wanted to ride that coaster ever since I first saw the Vincent Price "America Screams" Rolly-coaster video (didn't you love the way he said Rolly-coaster?)

I want to go on the Giant Dipper at Santa Cruz too.

Giant Dipper at Santa Cruz is all about FUN! Plus it's in a really fun park.

Can't the roughness of the ride also depend upon where you are seated?

Or you could say I am a weanie. Oh gawd, I confess...I can't ride Space Mountain, either!!!! {but I did, and I did ride the GD but just won't anymore...}

But I do take great shots of people on the rides.....:D

Too bad you're hitting SD first. If you were up here first, you could ride Ghost Rider at Knotts. After that, Giant Dipper would practically feel like riding in the back of a Royal Delux II luxury auto.

Yeah right, have you ridden Ghostrider lately? It's got more potholes than any street in SoCal... Thanks CCI :)

Exactly my point. Giant Dipper's a freaking dream-ride in comparrison.

CoasterMatt 09-20-2006 04:41 PM

Never mind, I got ya :)

Ghostrider is probably the most overrated coaster I've ridden, next to Millennium Force(less) at Cedar Point.
