Lakemont is one of two parks in the world with a Toboggan coaster.

A Toboggan is a portable roller coaster designed by Chance Manufacturing that has an extremely compact layout and completely claustrophobic cars.

This info plate on the Toboggan says that the cars can hold "two adults or four children".

I seriously doubt you could fit two adults in these as when Bond and I rode the one at Little Amerricka  when Bond was 11 the two of us barely squeezed in there.  As for four children I'm not sure if you could fit four in there but any states Department of Children & Family would probably investigate you for abuse if you did so.

The Toboggan had the first vertical lift hill that goes straight up the tube that the ride is built around.  As this is a portable ride the tube/lift would pivot down onto the rides trailer for transportation.
