Schweizer Bobbahn, Steel bobsled roller coaster in Europa-Park, Germany
Description
Schweizer Bobbahn is a steel roller coaster where cars move freely through a steel channel like real bobsleds during the entire ride. The structure sits at about 20 meters tall and reaches speeds of roughly 50 kilometers per hour along its route.
History
This attraction was built in 1985 by Mack Rides and represented the first prototype of its kind. It winds through a replica of a Swiss mountain village that reinforces its theme.
Culture
The ride draws from winter sports through its bobsled-shaped cars painted with different flags and racing colors. Visitors see colorful designs throughout that echo real national team aesthetics.
Practical
Riders must be at least 120 centimeters tall to board this ride. The attraction draws crowds, so visiting during quieter times makes for a shorter wait.
Did you know?
Riders experience about three times normal gravitational force while racing through the unguided channel system. These natural swaying movements happen because the cars are not locked to fixed tracks.
