Emberton got the idea for this amazing ride from 'pretzel rides' over in the USA. These rides were named after the Pretzel Company, and they took passengers on magical journeys in the dark, showing images of faraway places and exotic destinations. In the UK, the Pretzel Company was not well-known and so Emberton named his ride after a popular play by the same name.Ghost trains and funhouses have been scaring people for generations, and they are a fun-filled addition to any fairground or local funfair event.

Pretzel rides were becoming very popular in the USA in the 1920s and at the time, Blackpool Pleasure Beach decided to bring one to the UK and named it the ‘Ghost Train’ after a play which was popular at the time. The reason for the name was that Pretzel rides meant nothing outside the USA and so it was that the Ghost Train was born.

Ghost Trains are what considered to be phantom vehicles in the form of a locomotive or train. These haunted trains would keep going and they are fully operational but without anyone at the helm. Silverpilen is a Stockholm Metro train which features in several urban legends alleging sightings of the train's "ghost". The St. Louis Ghost Train, better known as the St. Louis Light, is visible at night along an old abandoned rail line in between Prince Albert and St. Louis, Saskatchewan. A phantom funeral train is said to run regularly from Washington, D.C. to Springfield, Illinois, around the time of the anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's death, stopping watches and clocks in surrounding areas as it passes.
