@PHAEDRIDER Geauga's Raging Wolf Bobs was nowhere near as intense or exciting as Riverview's Bobs, and had a different layout as well. The only thing the two rides had in common was the waterwing footprint.

It certainly didn't go 70 mph. It's max speed probably wasn't even 60.

This would be without much doubt the #1 roller coaster in the world had it survived. Watching it I can tell that this Prior & Church masterpiece had ejector air and strong air on probably every hill...EVERY, and every turn...EVERY...possessed intense laterals. Most of the hills & turns were combos which meant stand-up airtime followed by rib-crushing laterals, except the thick, sofa-like padding on the most incredible trains ever created prevented actual broken bones!

Whoa, that little chain lift before the lift hill...that was strange!

The late humorist Jean Shepherd related a story of riding 'The Bobs' on one of his New York broadcasts. I still have a tape of that show and enjoy hearing his description of the ride.

I used to ride this when I was a little gilr. My friends and I actually still talk about Riverview all of the time. There is nothing to compare t o this amusement park and I've been to a lot of them.

I'll take an old family-run park and old coaster any day over the modern corporate-run warehouses they call theme parks.

5 minute lines??? haha
Wow, this seems like the true ultimate roller coaster! Too bad they tore the damn park down... I'd do anything to have this thing rebuilt. But perhaps that would taint its legend... Who knows, all we're left with now are the memories, thank god we've got a great POV of it though!

My grandfather told me about this amazing park. I wish it could have lasted. I was born in 1991 so I wasn't even close. My grandmother lost her shoe on the parachute ride!
