Ghost Train was a Tracked Dark Ride built by UK manufacturer H.P. Jackson that was previously located at Pleasureland Southport in Southport, Merseyside, England, UK.
History
The ride opened in 1979 as a space-themed dark ride called Journey Into Space. The ride system was supplied by H.P. Jackson of Congleton and the ride's scenery was produced by Keith Sparks.[1] It replaced Trip To The Moon which had burned down in September 1977.[2]
At the end of the 1996 season, the park's Ghost Train was scrapped. For the 1997 season, Journey Into Space was rethemed to a traditional ghost train to replace the previous version.
