BOBSLED COASTER
With sharp turns, sweeping drops, quick transitions, exhilarating drops, and daring camel backs, the Bobsled Coaster offers the “feel” and fun of a Wild Mouse with the undeniable thrill of a standard-sized roller coaster – truly a great combination!
About
The Gerstlauer Bobsled Coaster packs a lot of “punch” in both compact and custom layouts. Designs can include many dynamic elements that will make you forget you’re riding a family coaster.
Guests will travel at speeds reaching nearly 35 mph while experiencing fast-changing transitions and tight banking turns up to 3G’s! This coaster is incredibly smooth and perfect for guests of all ages. With a family-friendly height restriction, guests of all ages can safely enjoy an exciting but not too-scary coaster.
Like a Wild Mouse, the cars are designed to negotiate the layout individually, not linked together as a train. They have an open design for easy loading / unloading but also feature an industry-leading, redundant restraint system.
All vehicles can be custom-themed to any unique ride name or IP concept you have in mind.
Ride Vehicles
The Bobsled Coaster holds four guests in four individual seats. Each rider has their own lap bar with side grab bars, while the floor is comprised of tough, diamond plating. The seats can accommodate riders of all sizes, comfortably with individual seats and lap bar restraints.
LAYOUTS
Below are listed two of our most popular layouts for the Bobsled Coaster. The 380 represents a compact design while the 450 is great for a larger area of land. Please remember that Gerstlauer always welcomes custom designs and can design the Bobsled to fit almost any plot of land.
