==Other Information==
* Track layout requires very careful planning, as cars can [[crash]] off the track at the crests of hills if going too fast.
* Badly, in RCT2 Wacky World Expansion, Penguin Bobsleigh's designs are likely poor and prone to crash, although they were completely
* RCT 2 Black Death Ride is a heavy version of Bobsleigh that allow to build for very long run. Although this version has only 5 cars per train, running as traditional roller coaster does as well unlike other versions since those weight is light and adding guests can let them fly off easily. However, some designs for light version may not be passed when using as Black Death Ride either it will fly off or will be stuck on a crest due to not enough speed.

==In Real Life==
*There are two companies that have made the multi-car version of the bobsled coaster. Mack Rides and Gerstlauer have both made over 20 bobsleds around the world and although no new bobsled has been built recently they are still among the most popular rides at their respective parks. The bobsleigh coaster design used in RCT was made by Mack Rides. Two of these bobsleighs can be found in [[Blackpool Pleasure Beach]] and [[Heide-Park]].
Intamin also used to produce bobsleigh roller coasters. As of 2020, the only remaining example is La Vibora in [[Six Flags Over Texas]], after "Bob" in Efteling closed in 2019. Intamin's designs used six-seater cars that resemble actual bobsleighs much more closely. RCT2 added these cars (but still used the Mack track), but incorrectly refers to them as "Flying Turns", which refer to a wooden bobsleigh track with multi-car trains. A modern replica of this kind of bobsleigh opened in Knoebels in 2013.
