Six Flags Retiring Alpine Bobsled

At the end of the summer, Six Flags Great Escape is retiring an Olympic-scale venerated ride. It’s the Alpine Bobsled’s 25th and final season in use. The Olympics-inspired ride will take its final run on Monday, Sept. 4. The ride functions as a trackless roller coaster, sending riders through a themed toboggan half-pipe at a top speed of 35 miles per hour.
