Off and Running Part 2
This week we are Off and Running to the Cleveland MetroParks Chalet for some fun at the toboggan chutes. The two 1,000-foot refrigerated ice chutes operate with or without snow the day after Thanksgiving through mid-March, weather permitting. With a vertical drop of 70 feet, the chutes can give any roller coaster enthusiast plenty of exciting dips and thrills as you reach speeds up to 50 mph. Just like some of your favorite rides at Cedar Point, riders must be at least 42” tall to ride and are required to wear mittens or gloves, heavier ones are recommended. Also similar to Cedar Point, there can be a long line to wait in, so bring some friends and some patience. Also worth noting is they have recently installed a toboggan lift at the Chalet, so no more carrying the toboggans up all the stairs. So sit down, hang on and get ready for some fun.
The toboggan chutes are a favorite with the staff and our fans. Here are 3 of our fans enjoying the chutes this year. A big thanks to Brendan, Jenny and Matt for sharing the fun with us.
