Roller coaster formerly called Avalanche Run

Disaster Transport

Disaster Transport (or Avalanche Run as it was called when this picture was taken) was 1,932 feet long and 63 feet tall. The lift hill climbed at a rather shallow 15° angle. Because a bobsled coaster is not locked on the track like nearly every other modern coaster, it did not have any steep drops or airtime-producing hills. Nearly all of the track consisted of a gradual descending turn.

The first of two block brakes can be viewed on the right side of this image.
