La Vibora (The Viper) was asteelbobsled roller coaster atSix Flags Over Texas inArlington, Texas,United States. The roller coaster had operated at the park from 1986 to 2024.[1][2]
The ride's cars do not run on conventional tubular rails, but instead travel through a winding half-pipe trough that emulates the experience of riding a bobsled. In keeping with the Texas location the theme was changed from an alpine bobsled ride to a snake theme. The nameLa Vibora translated to English isThe Viper. The coaster's life began atSix Flags Magic Mountain under the nameSarajevo Bobsleds, being named in honor of the1984 olympics and the ride opened that same year. However, the ride was part of Six Flags' (now defunct) Ride Rotation Program, and the coaster lasted two seasons at Magic Mountain and closed in 1985. That same year the ride ceased operation, the plot of land where the bobsleds stood was reused and housedBatman The Escape (known as Shockwave at Magic Mountain), another roller coaster manufactured byIntamin and the ride was relocated toSix Flags Over Texas and opened as theAvalanche Bobsled in 1986. The ride was later renamedLa Vibora and painted to resemble a snake to better match the theme of theSpain section of the park.[2]
The karts/trains that ride on La Vibora are originally from theBob Track inEfteling.
La Vibora permanently closed during the 2024 season, without prior announcement. It will be replaced with aDive Coaster.[3] It was later confirmed to beTormenta Rampaging Run.
With the closure of La Vibora, no Intamin Swiss Bob models remain in operation.
