Alpine Bobsled, Steel bobsled roller coaster at Six Flags Great Escape, Queensbury, United States.
The Alpine Bobsled transported riders through a trough-style track at speeds reaching 35 miles per hour along a 1,490-foot course without inversions.
The roller coaster opened in 1984 at Six Flags Great Adventure as Sarajevo Bobsled, moved to Great America in 1989, and finally reached Great Escape in 1998.
The six cars of the roller coaster represented different nations: the United Kingdom, United States, Italy, Jamaica, Canada, and Switzerland.
Each train contained four rows with two riders per row, allowing eight passengers to experience the 64-foot-high track during the 100-second journey.
The loading station featured a 19th-century alpine ski lodge design with an original Olympic-style bobsled displayed at the entrance area.
