Woodstock Express is a children's roller coaster at California's Great America in Santa Clara, California, themed to Woodstock, the small yellow bird from the Peanuts comic strip. It was built by the Swiss manufacturer Intamin. RCDB gives a track length of 1,300 feet and a ride time of 1 minute 15 seconds, with a chain lift hill, no inversions and a single train of four cars seating 16 riders.
History
Wikipedia's timeline lists the coaster under 1987, the year it opened as Blue Streak. RCDB and Wikipedia list its earlier names as Blue Streak, Green Slime Mine Car Coaster and Runaway Reptar, without years. Several other parks on this site have different coasters with the same name.
