It’s a cold winter’s night at Sydney’s Luna Park, nestled in the northern shore of Sydney Harbour. It’s June 9, 1979, and swarms of people ride the roller coaster and play inside Coney Island. The Tagline for the amusement park is “just for fun” - and it’s arguably one of the biggest attractions in Sydney. 

But one of the most popular rides is The Ghost Train, which runs along 180 metres of electric track, most of it in total darkness. Dancing skeletons and dragons heads and an imitation fire make the ride spine-tingling, with a haunted voice cackling: “you’ll shiver and quake on the ghost train.”

It’s almost closing time and a 12-year-old boy named Jason Holman is with four friends, about to board The Ghost Train.  For 45 years The Ghost Train has been running, without the slightest incident. Once you’re in, it only goes for two and a half minutes, but that’s enough time to deliver a thrill. 

There’s nothing out of the ordinary. Two of his friends board the ride on one carriage, and then the next two in the following carriage. 

Jason is last. 

Just moments later, Jason’s four friends, students at Waverley College in Sydney, would be dead.

He will survive, being dubbed the luckiest boy alive.

But he doesn’t feel lucky.

42 years later, he still has questions.

This week the girls take aim at... Killer Roller Coasters

Sarah opens with some statistics on how likely someone is to die on a Roller Coaster and how many deaths and injuries some of America's theme parks have had since they opened. She then went on to talk about the deaths that happened at Luna Park in Melbourne and Sydney.

Bianca is the juicy middle and talks about the tragedy of the Big Dipper in America. She then amazes us with what she found out about the hypothetical Euthanasia Coaster and reminds us about the great value of the Fast Pass.

Amy ends the show with one of Australia's worst theme park accidents that ended with multiple deaths at Dream World on the Gold Coast, Queensland Australia.
