Sierra Sidewinder

Sierra Sidewinder is Knott's newest roller coaster.  Located in Camp Snoopy, it is a family roller coaster targeted to older kids and features cars that freely rotate as they dip, roll, and turn through the track.

Sierra Sidewinder offers a new twist on souvenirs.  Instead of offering an on-ride photo, you can purchase an on-ride DVD of your entire ride.	Sierra Sidewinder packs a big punch into a short ride.  The ride lasts only a minute, but that doesn't seem to detract from the fun.  Guests are coming off the ride very happy, and are certain that Knott's has a sure thing on its hands.
