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.

Rain, Rain, Go Away
Guests may find that operations at La Vibora are limited on rainy days. Actually, the ride will not operate with even the slightest amount of moisture in the trough. Due to La Vibora's method of travel, it is unsafe to operate the ride in wet conditions.
