Raging Wolf Bobs, Wooden roller coaster in Aurora, Ohio, US
Raging Wolf Bobs was a wooden roller coaster at Geauga Lake amusement park that carried riders over more than 3,400 feet of track with twists and drops. The ride lifted passengers to 80 feet high using a chain mechanism and moved cars designed to hold about 24 people per cycle.
The Dinn Corporation built this wooden coaster in 1988 for Geauga Lake amusement park as part of the venue's centennial celebration. The design followed the concept of the original Bobs coaster from Chicago's Riverview Park and used traditional wooden coaster engineering methods.
Raging Wolf Bobs followed the design pattern of the original Bobs roller coaster from Chicago's Riverview Park, maintaining traditional wooden coaster engineering principles.
The ride had a minimum height requirement of 48 inches for riders to ensure safe operation during the journey. Two separate trains operated to transport more passengers in succession throughout the day.
The ride met a tragic end on June 16, 2007, when a train rolled backward and partially derailed during operation. This incident led to immediate closure and the permanent removal of the attraction.
