Toboggan - Lakemont Park in PA and Trimper's Rides in NJ


Date Ridden: Both in the summer of 2008. Times Ridden: 1 each.

Torture devices!! Some rides are simply rough. Others are intense. Some are downright painful but the two installations of the Toboggan at these separate parks are beyond all of those things.

The cars are very cramped and uncomfortable to simply sit in much less move through a course. However, add in the fact of a 90 degree vertical lift that feels as if it will tear itself apart at any time, a sickening circular downward spiral and two or three "bunny-hops" at the end and you have the recipe for an entire bottle of Excedrin.

In all seriousness, while one of my riding partners calls these things "The Great-Grandaddy of Fahrenheit", I tend to agree with the other riding partner. Break out the dynamite, a short fuse, and a box of matches. Implode these things for goodness sakes.

Overall Rating - 2 (only because I have a special coaster that ranks as a 1)

Excellent options all. However, my worst coaster of all time is The Dragon at Beech Bend. It is a kiddie coaster in which we had a rollback and I thought the train was going to jump the track.
