La Vibora was known as Avalanche Bobsled when it opened in 1986, sporting a light blue color scheme.

Making a Big Move

La Vibora originally opened at Six Flags Magic Mountain in 1984 as the Sarajevo Bobsleds. However, as part of the ride rotation program that Six Flags was operating in the 1980s, the coaster was dismantled and removed from Magic Mountain at the end of 1985. In 1986, the ride officially opened at Six Flags Over Texas as Avalanche Bobsled, sporting the same light blue paint scheme from its short tenure at Magic Mountain. In 1995, the ride was repainted and renamed to La Vibora, fully embracing its Spain location within the park. La Vibora’s final operating day was November 3, 2024. La Vibora will be removed to make way for a record-breaking dive coaster to open in 2026.
