The Toboggan was a product from Chance Rides. Many were built around the 1970s, only a handful still operate today.
Design
The Toboggan is a transportable roller coaster, though it also operated in many amusement parks. It is 55 feet tall and 450 feet long.[1]
Ride experience
The ride began with a vertical lift hill within the tower. This is followed by a downward helix around the tower, during which the train circles the tower six times. A series of small drops and hills takes the car back to the station.
Trains
The cars are enclosed and can seat two adults or three children in a single row.
Roller coasters
Due to the number of Toboggan roller coasters produced and the similarity of all produced, tracking each individual coaster is very difficult. Some of the entries in this list may actually be the same unit operating in different locations.
