Raging Wolf Bobs was a wooden roller coaster at Geauga Lake amusement park in Aurora, Ohio, United States. The coaster was based on The Bobs at Riverview Park in Chicago.

On June 16, 2007, the last car of one of the trains on Raging Wolf Bobs derailed after a rollback on one of the ride hills. It was closed for the rest of the season. The ride never re-opened, as Geauga Lake closed after the 2007 season.

The ride was retracked by Martin & Vleminckx.

On September 21, 2007, Cedar Fair announced that Geauga Lake would no longer operate as a traditional amusement park, and instead become solely a waterpark, Wildwater Kingdom.

On June 17, 2008, Raging Wolf Bobs was sold for $2,500. The ride started to be demolished in 2011 and slowly took until the early Spring of 2014 to be completely gone.
