La Vibora is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas.
This is one of Intamin AG’s Bobsled coasters, commonly known as the Swiss Bob. 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 name “La Vibora” translated to English is “The Viper." It was first located at Six Flags Magic Mountain under the name Avalanche and was blue, but was relocated to Six Flags Over Texas. It kept its original name for a short time but was eventually renamed La Vibora and painted to resemble a snake to better match the theme of the Spain section of the park.
