Mosey on by this authentic Western “hoosegow” and peek in at shadowy inmate Sad Eye Joe to hear his sad, sad tale. This is an interactive experience, as Sad Eye talks directly to guests—he may even guess your name and hometown! Tip: Send one grown-up to the front window while the rest go to see Joe. Write a quick note and Joe will include its contents in his conversation with the kids.  

One of the tallest and longest wooden roller coasters anywhere, Ghostrider starts out with a 108-foot drop and just gets better from there. This attraction even has a backstory—legend has it a Union soldier in search of gold ventured into Calico Mine one dark night and never returned. Very rough ride. Recently refurbished in early 2016.
