Toboggan was a steel roller coaster located at Lakemont Park in Altoona, Pennsylvania. It was a portable steel coaster built by Chance Rides, one of many Toboggan installations. This specific one had previously traveled in Florida with Deggeller Shows.[1][2]
Ride experience
The ride featured an enclosed car, which after climbing up a vertical lift inside a steel structure spun downward on a continuous helix until it went over a small airtime hill and then turned back into the station.
