SCOOBY
DOO COASTER PICTURES 1 - KINGS DOMINION Photos Of The Scooby Doo Ghoster Coaster Ride At Kings Dominion In
Virginia
The Scooby Doo Ghoster Coaster is a terrific small-scale
classic
family wooden rollercoaster. Kids as young as 2 may ride
(depending
on height and interest.) It's a great step up from the "kiddie
coasters"
(like Taxi
Jam), but not as intimidating as a full scale wooden coaster.
Adults
will enjoy it as much as the kids. It's a great ride for adults
and
kids to enjoy together.
The Scooby Doo has both lap bars and seat belts.
Small
kids are held securely in their seats when there is "air time."
If young kids like the Scooby Doo, you may consider taking them
on
the Avalanche
bobsled ride, the Rebel
Yell, the Grizzly
or the Hurler.
All of these full size rollercoasters have reasonable height
restrictions.
Kids may be able to ride at a surprisingly young age. TIP:
Try to ride the Ghoster Coaster when two trains are operating.
If
only one train is operating the wait may be long. Each train only
holds
20 people. Sometime the wait for Scooby Doo is longer than the
larger
wooden coasters.
