Ghost Coaster for Adults

My seven year old and I ride the Ghost Coaster at Kings Island. But yesterday on tv, I caught a brief glimpse of what looked to be an adult sized version of the same ride : two person in line car, suspended from the tubular steel track, elevator lift, tight turns and swaying car. Except that ride looked really awesome, starting above the trees and soaring down through a wooded area. Can somebody tell me where that ride is, or are there several out there I've missed?
that would probably be Petradon Flyers at IOA, anyone over 54" can't ride it, which sucks
Adults can ride Pterodon (sp?) Flyers at IOA but only with a kid, which is how Scooby's Ghoster Coaster is, I think. 

Can't wait to have kids so I can ride these coasters!!! :)

My husband and I rode Scooby's Ghoster Coaster without a kid this year. 
-----------------
Christ how do you kids do it
I've ridden Ghoster coaster @ PKD several times without a kid on board.I didn't bother riding it this year howver because I can't get my friend to ride it anymore.Also the trains on that coaster are a pretty tight fit.
The Flyers at IOA are made by Setpoint.  The 'adult-sized' Caripro you saw was probably one in Europe, I think I know what you are talking about.  The Hydra Fighter II at Emerald Pointe is a larger size Caripro suspended also, see pics at this location http://www.starcoasters.com/parkgalleries/emeraldpointe/emeraldpointe.html

Batwing Fan, the Ghoster Coaster at PKD is completely different than the one at PKI, which is more akin to Pteradon Flyers at IoA (as has been mentioned here)

Actually, PKD's Ghoster Coaster and PKI's Beastie are identical (or REALLY close, at least).

Now, having said that, I've ridden PKI's Ghoster Coaster several times, without a kid. I haven't been to IoA yet, but I'm hoping that I don't need to borrow a kid to tally Pteradon Flyers...

Unfortunately they seem to be VERY strict about having a kid.  I borrowed a kid and hopped into a short line.  It took 90 minutes, OUCH!

theres one at Legoland.. i dont kno which one, but its themed as a pirate type setting i believe....
The one at Legoland is called The Spellbreaker. It has a midevil theme.
If one wants to ride PF @ IOA "sans enfant" they *best* thing to do is try and ride it 'right' at opening (resisting the urge to go to Spidey and not being entranced by the 'seductive' cobra roll of Hulk). That way, when you get there, there is no line so they cant really justify not letting you on. Just my reasoning.

--who has no real urge to ride PF or SGC @ PKI
They've "justified" me not riding a couple times...but I am pretty big for a kid (5'10, 165).  I think I'll have to "adopt" a kid next time I go to IOA, since I haven't gotten to ride any single-rails suspendeds other than Ghoster Coaster yet, and PF has a much better layout.  BTW, is Spellbreaker "mid-evil" or medieval, j/k!
