Located in the area of the park that had formally held the Fiesta train, the Bobslide&#8217;s&nbsp;new feature was that it did not ride on a track. Instead, the cars rode in a curve structure, more similar to the log ride\u2019s flume or chute than a roller coaster track.

With a lift height of sixty feet, and a track length of 1,490 feet, the ride travels at up to 32 MPH for a ride of approximately 1 and one half minutes to ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;      While the ride was new to Six Flags over Texas, it was not new to the Six Flags\u2019 park system, having operated at Magic Mountain from 1984 to 1987.&nbsp; Built by Intamin, the ride is an AG Bobsled style ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/parktimes.com\/sections\/mexico\/lavibora\/mxsnake1.jpg\" alt=\"mxsnake1.jpg (18617 bytes)\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0     \u00a0 Originally painted blue, the structure was repainted in red and yellow sections to resemble the strips of a snake.
