The Toboggan was a twin roller coaster at Hersheypark. It stood in what was then known as Carrousel Circle from 1972 to 1977. Toboggan was added to the park when Carousel Circle was built, a part of the 1972 renovations to Hersheypark. While commonly known as the Twin Toboggans, park maps and press releases refer to the ride as Toboggan. In 1974 and 1975, the ride was sponsored by Finnaren & Haley Paints. When the ride was removed, it was demolished. Two identical Chance Toboggan-style roller coasters stood where the Mini-Himalaya exists currently. Riders would enter two-person cars, which were pulled to the top of a vertical lift inside a shaft (like riding in an elevator), before spiraling down around the shaft, and hitting a bigger drop and spiral at the bottom.
