    History

    The Phantom Express, originally named Ghost Ride, was built by the Chipperfield Bros. and opened in their own park, Chipperfield's Amusement Park, in 1961. Originally opened with cars built by Hayes Fabrication, these later got replaced with cars built by Supercar.

    The Ghost Ride was sold to Dreamland in 2015, where it operated for 2 seasons, closing after the 2016 season. Its fate is currently unknown.
