As far as ‘kiddie’ rides go, this one is actually pretty intense and fun. My main complaint though is that it hardly spun for me even though the weight distribution should have made it which was a bit disappointing, but not enough to ruin the ride.

Don't love the format, did not love my ride. But I can appreciate why others dig it. I was stuck facing backwards most of the ride while the cars right behind me were spinning and having a much more ...

Don't love the format, did not love my ride. But I can appreciate why others dig it. I was stuck facing backwards most of the ride while the cars right behind me were spinning and having a much more dynamic ride. It's pretty forceful...but its not for me.

A fun ride that often is overlooked at Knott's. I'd definitely consider it more than a kiddie coaster, which makes its inclusion at Camp Snoopy a bit odd. It is definitely more intense than Jaguar! ...

A fun ride that often is overlooked at Knott's. I'd definitely consider it more than a kiddie coaster, which makes its inclusion at Camp Snoopy a bit odd. It is definitely more intense than Jaguar! and Pony Express. If you are at Knott's and the line isn't too bad its worth a ride. I wouldn't lose sleep if I miss it though, as I usually don't ever find myself in that part of the park.

It’s an underrated roller coaster, probably the most underrated roller coaster at Knott’s. It’s surprisingly intense. It’s capacity is bad but Ghostrider’s capacity is atrocious so I’ll say this one’s...

It’s an underrated roller coaster, probably the most underrated roller coaster at Knott’s. It’s surprisingly intense. It’s capacity is bad but Ghostrider’s capacity is atrocious so I’ll say this one’s capacity is better, and it was pretty rough too.

This one was a ton of fun but no two rides are exactly the same. I rode this one by myself the first time with people on the other side and got a decent amount of spin. My 2nd ride was the most intense because I rode next to another person and nobody got in the car behind us. We started backward and with the amount of weight on one side only you get a ton of spin compared to a more balanced car. I'm usually sensitive to any dizzying kind of ride but this one was the perfect amount of spin and intensity to not make me sick the rest of the day. The cars and restraints can be a bit tight compared to other smaller coasters but outside of that, it was a smooth and enjoyable ride all three times I got to get on. 3.5/5 stars

The ride is actually pretty fun. It doesn’t look too enticing, but the spinning really adds to the coaster. Some of the bank turns and other elements are thrilling, and I think it does it’s job as a family coaster.

The day I went it was nearly a walk on on almost every ride I had. If you want a fun ride that you won’t get sick on, make sure your car is loaded with all 4 people. The layout is pretty tame with a balanced train. On the other end of the spectrum, If you get 2 people on one side of the car and 1 on the other, the cars on these free spinning trains really pick up speed for a more intense experience. One of my favorite rides

This ride packs one hell of a punch with the out of control spinning and intense helixes. You will come off with a great gut punched aftershock, and you'll definitely want to ride again... this ride is fun for the whole family. Be aware though that at the ending helix there's a moment where your neck could potentially get banged hard.

Disclaimer: I last rode this 5 years ago, so this review is off memory. While this ride is a small scale spinning coaster, it is still quite fun. The layout is pretty good and has a couple intense moments near the ground, but it is also too short in my opinion. Overall a solid family coaster.

Sierra Sidewinder is a smaller coaster, and it's located in Camp Snoopy. These factors combined to give me pretty mild expectations for Sierra Sidewinder. These expectations were absolutely shattered ...

Sierra Sidewinder is a smaller coaster, and it's located in Camp Snoopy. These factors combined to give me pretty mild expectations for Sierra Sidewinder. These expectations were absolutely shattered by my first ride on it. Sierra Sidewinder packs a huge punch for a coaster of its size. It rides very low to the ground at times, creating the illusion that you'll have your face dragged along the ground. All the while, every turn feels way tighter than it needs to be. Sierra Sidewinder is outstanding for a family coaster, but it's not on par with some of the larger stuff at Knott's.
