What a fantastic recreation. Of an iconic ride. I never got to ride the Bobs, saw a filmed ride at a convention once. Having background detail and many views was a treat. I’ve already ‘ridden’ it a few times through your excellent recreation.

Awesome. And thank you! My father used to talk about this coaster all the time when I was growing up in the 70s/80s and started to ride all the fancy new steel Arrow loopers and Schwartzkopf shuttles. Said nothing beat the Bobs at Riverview. He maintained, even throughout the 90s, that there were no trims at any point in the run. I used to tell him it would rip itself apart without any and he always claimed it nearly did and that's why it had to close. I assume this build is accurate with the two touch trims? Even though Dad has long passed, I finally feel like I got to ride his beloved Riverview Bobs.

It’s cool that you included the Chute the Chutes and Pair-o-chutes in the background. Also the Flying Turns coming soon 😀

I liked it! It didn't have a lot of "violent" drops or turning you upside down, but still you get a good fast(!) ride. I wish that could be rebuilt today.

looks tame! Not in its day tho. I can still hear the screams. What a ride, what a place!

Good job there !

[@AtlantaGymFan]

A fast ride with plenty of air time

If only they had built the Raging Wolf Bobs like this No Limits model it would have been a better coaster.

Since I rode the legendary original I drove over two hundred miles to Geauga Lake when I read they built a new version of the Bobs. Man, was I disappointed.

This is Trackwalker's recreation that he made in 2012 - you should credit him at least in your description
