Sarajevo Bobsled
Height
70 ft
Speed
40 mph
Length
1,475 ft
This ride features a trough-like track design where independent vehicles navigate a series of semicircular chutes rather than being fixed to traditional steel rails. After ascending a mechanical lift hill, the trains rely on gravity to slide through high-banked turns and winding drops, mimicking the free-wheeling sensation of a winter bobsled run. The experience is characterized by lateral forces as the cars oscillate up the sides of the curved walls based on their speed and momentum.
