Happy Ghasts should go faster when you press sprint

TLDR: Make Happy Ghasts move faster when pressing sprint, just like Camels. The Happy Ghast is currently too slow to be optimal for transportation.

The Happy Ghast seems to serve 2 purposes: Building up high, and transportation, notably of mobs. The current speed of the Ghast serves the purpose of building well, as it is a slow enough speed for steady and easy building, akin to Creative mode flying. However, there has been much of an emphasis on using the mob for transportation or exploration. The benefits of flying with a Happy Ghast are simply too few, as sprint jumping is simply faster. Transporting mobs with it is just too slow for it to be a player's first pick. This disincentivizes the player to obtain a Happy Ghast, as often it'll just be easier to drag whatever mob around with a lead, or to just sprint jump.

I really want the Happy Ghast to be an exciting and viable option for transport, especially considering the effort it takes to get it, as many players are too scared to even enter the Nether. It's just too slow for transportation right now, and the ability to toggle its speed with the sprint button is an easy solution. It doesn't need to be faster than your average horse or donkey,  just faster than sprint jumping.

    I think it should be as fast as sprint jumping when sprinting, because it can fly already.

    Yes, in sprint mode It should be also a bit faster than sprint jumping in my opinion, it's would be a good in-between progression step in movement speeds before obtaining the Elytra.

    I don't understand why every other mode of transport doesn't have an equivalent of Fireworks. If Elytras never had fireworks, then every other mode of transport would at least be comparable, but with the addition of fireworks elytras are just WAY too good for anything else to be worth using in ANY stage of Minecraft. I'm not saying remove fireworks though. They just need to increase the base speed of everything OR design a comparable speed boost for other modes of transport as Elytras have with fire works levels 1,2, and 3.
