Wiegand Sports GmbH

Josef Wiegand constructed a summertime toboggan run in 1975, and has expanded into a large company since then. The organization is based in Rasdorf, Hesse, Germany and is presently led by Hendrik Wiegand. The group makes water slides, dry slides, Toboggan Runs, and powered Bobkart tracks, but is mostly known for its alpine coasters. They have built more than 300 alpine coasters in more than 40 countries, so they are the most prolific toboggan-run or alpine coaster manufacturer.

Wiegand's first rides were alpine slides which were troughs that cars slid down. The first alpine slides were made of stainless steel, but later versions had fiberglass troughs. Later, the company focused on alpine coasters where cars are locked on rails and are not able to leave the track.
