The Bobs Belle Vue is one of many Prior & Church designed "Bobs" twisters that opened in the 1920s. All of these coasters had heights of between 70 and 80 feet. The trains all had newer two-seater cars with flanged wheels that were connected by ball and socket couplings that could negotiate the tight turns and sharp direction changes.

The Bobs Belle Vue ride began with a shallow 180 degree left hand spiral drop with heavy banking. The start of this coaster was very similar to the Wildcat Pontchartrain, the Giant Dipper Belmont and the two Detroit Bobs.
