La Vibora

No track? No problem.
Gains notoriety for being one of the few remaining ‘bobsled’ coasters in the USA. For those unfamiliar with the genre, bobsled coasters are essentially free-​wheeling trains that navigate a half-​pipe «U”-shaped track. Unlike 99% of all other roller coasters that are affixed to the track, bobsled coasters have the ability to move around in slightly different ways depending on the weight distribution within the car. The downside to this is that it results in a much tamer ride since the speed is limited to under 30 or 40mph.
There are also 3 block brake sections – an unusual number – to control any variance from car to car and reduce the amount of ‘fishtailing’ the free-​rolling trains experience. The other downside unique to this particular model is that the cars themselves only seat a maximum of 6 people in an in-​line arrangement. This results in a very low rider capacity per hour and, as a consequence, long lines. Counter this by making it your first ride of the day.
Don’t let that 60ft height statistic fool you; when the single train disengages from the lift hill and you come rumbling down the course, you’ll be glad there’s handlebars nearby! Lots of fun for everyone big and small, and one of the last of its kind anywhere in the world.
