The Bobs (roller coaster)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bobs at Riverview Park in Chicago, Illinois is considered by some roller coaster enthusiasts to have been the ultimate wooden roller coaster. It was built in 1924 and was demolished with the rest of the park in 1967. The Bobs was built by Frank Prior and Fredrick Church at a cost of $80,000. The Bobs had a maximum height of 87 feet, a drop of 85 feet, and reached speeds of 50mph [1]).
A modernized version is located at Geauga Lake in Ohio, and is called Raging Wolf Bobs. It is not as intense as the original Bobs.
