Sierra Sidewinder, Steel spinning roller coaster at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California
Sierra Sidewinder is a steel roller coaster at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park with a track measuring 1,410 feet long. The ride uses four cars per train that spin freely during operation, causing passengers to rotate in different directions throughout the journey.
The ride was designed by Mack Rides, a manufacturer from Germany, and opened in May 2007 at Knott's Berry Farm. It became the eighth roller coaster added to the park, marking another milestone in the development of attractions at the location.
Located in the Camp Snoopy section of the park, this roller coaster represents the evolution of family entertainment at Knott's Berry Farm.
Riders must be at least 42 inches tall to board this roller coaster. The ride reaches speeds of 37 miles per hour and includes a 39-foot drop, so expect a quick and intense experience from start to finish.
This roller coaster pioneered an innovative concept in the United States: multiple cars on a single train that spin independently at the same time. This design created a completely new riding experience where passengers are in constant rotation throughout the entire journey.
