Rattlesnake, Steel roller coaster in Chessington World of Adventures, England.
Rattlesnake is a steel roller coaster at Chessington World of Adventures that takes riders through mine-themed sections at moderate speeds. The track navigates through varying elevations with sharp turns and sections that dip below ground level to create unexpected drops.
This coaster opened in 1998 as a new addition to the park, built by manufacturer Maurer. Construction required extensive ground excavation to comply with local building codes that limited the structure's maximum height.
The ride features a mining theme set in a Western landscape, with cars designed to resemble mine carts moving through themed scenery. Visitors experience this fictional underground expedition through the visual story created along the track.
Riders must meet a minimum height requirement and should be aware that the seats have size restrictions that may prevent larger guests from riding. It is helpful to check the current access requirements before your visit, as these can vary seasonally.
Portions of the track run below ground level, which creates surprising elevation changes as riders suddenly descend beneath the surface during the ride. This unusual construction was necessary to meet local height restrictions while still delivering genuine airtime and unexpected moments.
