The track is constructed primarily of stainless steel, allowing for all-weather operation unless heavy precipitation occurs.
The gravity-fed system uses centrifugal force to keep sleds on the rails during tight turns.
The ride is integrated into a larger summer park that includes a giant's village and a gnome trail.
The Baranci area serves as a ski resort during the winter months, when the coaster track is covered or decommissioned.
The coaster can reach speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour, depending on user-controlled braking.
Fun Bob is a 1,733-meter-long alpine coaster located at the Baranci/Haunold ski area in San Candido. The track features a significant vertical drop and follows the natural contour of the mountain slope. Riders control their own speed via manual braking levers located on the side of the sled. The coaster operates on a single-rail steel track designed for both children and adults. It is situated directly adjacent to the top station of the Baranci chairlift. The descent offers views of the surrounding Dolomite peaks and the Puster Valley. The ride typically concludes near the base of the mountain lift system.

Do not brake excessively on straightaways, as this can cause a traffic jam for riders behind you.
Operates during the summer and early autumn months; closed during the winter ski season and extended rainy periods.
Closed-toe shoes are required for safety; remain seated until the sled comes to a complete halt at the end.
