Ghost Rider or Dreams?

Same ride. “Ghost Rider” was the name used by the press and the park during construction and early testing. On July 29, 2026, during the first ride with passengers, the park announced the official name Dreams — also the name of a Cacau Show chocolate line and of one of the park’s themed areas.

Testing and the first passenger ride

Track assembly finished in August 2025. Test runs without riders began in June 2026 at reduced speed to calibrate the systems. The first ride with people on board took place on July 29, 2026, with Cacau Show founder Alê Costa, staff and golden-ticket winners.

Those golden tickets — 100 of them hidden in 1 million Dreams chocolate bars in a promotion running from May 11, 2026 to January 1, 2027, according to the official rules — give winners an early ride before the park opens.
