Woodstock's Express is a steel kiddie roller coaster located at California's Great America in Santa Clara, California, USA. It is one of the only four kiddie coasters designed by Intamin.

History

The coaster opened in 1984 at the short-lived Hanna-Barbera Land theme park in Spring, Texas as Scooby's Ghoster Coaster. After the park closed, the coaster was relocated to California's Great America in 1987, where it was renamed Blue Streak.[1] During the 1995 season, the name was changed to Green Slime Mine Car.

In 2003, Green Slime Mine Car was renamed Runaway Reptar, based on the Rugrats television series.

For the 2010 season, the ride would be renamed Woodstock Express. The attraction would now be themed to the Peanuts series.
