History

The ride was situated for many years at the indoor Lovett's Amusement Park in the North East of England. Whilst at this park the ride was called Roller Ghoster, highlighting the fact that it featured a rollercoaster style drop. Ownership of the ride and the park as a whole changed from Gordon Codona to John Lovett. A brief stint at New Brighton Palace (another indoor park) followed, before a sale to the Noble Organisation of Brighton Pier in 1990.
