Trains

The passengers must be at least 1.22 m tall to be allowed to ride. Each move has a different color. One move is gold , one is silver and the last is bronzes . A maximum of two trains can be used at the same time, the third is always in "renewal". Normally, this system gives a car a year off.
Trivia
- At night the route glows orange.
- The construction of the railway was progressing so quickly that it was fully operational six months before the planned opening.
- On the first exit there is a metal roof, as the residents complained that it was always so loud because of the screams.
- The GhostRider story goes that a miner entered an abandoned mine and has never been seen since. Now he is supposed to roam the USA as a GhostRider .
