Raging Wolf Bobs is a wooden roller coaster at Geauga Lake amusement park in Aurora, Ohio. The coaster was originally based on the famous coaster The Bobs at Riverview Park in Chicago, Illinois.
On June 16, 2007, the last car of one of the trains on Raging Wolf Bobs derailed, causing major damage to the track and the train but no one was injured. It was closed for the rest of the season.
On September 21, 2007, Cedar Fair announced that Geauga Lake would no longer operate partially as a traditional amusement park, and instead become solely a waterpark, Geauga Lake's Wildwater Kingdom. It is possible that Raging Wolf Bobs will be demolished, as it is expected that the amusement park's site will be redeveloped; however, it is currently up for sale, along with the Big Dipper, the Villain, and the Double Loop roller coasters.
