Disaster Transport (originally Avalanche Run) was an enclosed steel bobsled roller coaster built by Intamin at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, United States.

[1] On October 22, 1989, Cedar Point announced that Avalanche Run would receive a major refurbishment and be renamed Disaster Transport for the 1990 season.

The renovation included the addition of a space-themed queue and ride along with special effect lighting, two robot animatronics, and sound.

[10] After Matt Ouimet replaced Richard Kinzel as the CEO of Cedar Fair in 2012, he decided that Disaster Transport could no longer be salvaged.

A portion of track, two cars and the main entrance sign were to be donated to the National Roller Coaster Museum.

And as of May 2021, Dave, one of the animatronics used in the ride's queue line, is on display in a gift shop adjacent from GateKeeper, Disaster Transport's replacement.

On June 7, 1990 at around 4:30 p.m, three people were injured when a 6 ft-diameter foam asteroid prop weighing between 100-150 pounds overhanging the track fell into the ride trough and was struck by an oncoming bobsled carrying eight passengers.

After leaving the "launch area", the bobsled traveled up the 63-foot-tall (19 m) lift hill at a 15-degree-angle, which featured red and blue blinking lights on the sides.

The story of the ride was the passengers had been enlisted to deliver cargo from a suborbital factory to a station in Alaska.

During HalloWeekends, the park would change the entrance of Disaster Transport to under the lift hill, leaving the one next to Troika to be used for the Halloween Haunt.

The story of the ride was that the riders were Dispatch Master Transport’s first public passengers and they were bound for a receiving station in Alaska.

The riders' shuttle would also be carrying cargo that included a highly volatile fuel nicknamed "Really Big Bang" (RBB-11 for short).

An employee sitting at the desk would press a button that would supposedly open the gates so the riders could enter the launch pad.

The staff member would explain that wasn't supposed to happen and would instruct the riders to take a detour through the service rooms of the hangar to get to the launch pad.

A small room outside the Repair Bay had the company's logo subtly broken to reveal the ride's true name.

Two spinning laser light spheres would project a star field around the rocket as it climbed the lift.

But upon reaching the top of the hill, the computer would detect aggressive "space pirates" near their location and began to take evasive maneuvers as the rocket descended down the first drop.

The ride's showbuilding contained numerous props and scenes to make the riders feel as if they were under attack while flying through outer space.

The riders would speed by other rockets similar to theirs, explosions, meteors, debris, video projections and a satellite that would fire lasers at the passengers.

The riders would disembark their vehicle and exit on the left side of the platform where a sign read, "Thank you for flying with Dispatch Master Transport!".

Typically, the ride would remain shut down after a period of rain as the crew would have to cycle several trains through the circuit in order for it to dry.
