GhostRider & The Villain

I've read in more than one place that GhostRider and Villain have similar layouts. I know GhostRider like the back of my hand but have yet to see Villain first hand. After seeing some pictures of Villain I can see some simlilarities between the two. Has anyone ridden both? How close/different are they?

I've ridden both and can honestly say that the only parts of both that are the same are turn and block area near the lift. Other than that, they're totally different rides. The differences in trains (Gerstlauer on Villain and PTC on Ghostrider) makes most of the difference.

Both are excellent woodies, but they are quite different.
