- Description
- A state-of-the-art toboggan-style coaster built by Arthur Looff, popularly called 'the Bobs' and also known as 'the Grizzly.' Riders sat in tandem in two-passenger cars strung eight to a train. It closed in 1929 after an accident that injured seven passengers, two seriously — an incident said to have hastened the park's passage from John Friedle to the Whitney brothers.
