Toboggan was a steel roller coaster located at Lakemont Park in Altoona, Pennsylvania. It was a portable steel coaster built by Chance Rides, and was one of many of their Toboggan installations across the United States. This specific Toboggan had previously traveled in Florida with Deggeller Shows.[1][2]

Ride experience

[edit]

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 turned back into the station.
