I have only been on this once because of its terrible reliability. I have season passes to Elitches for 4 years and come almost every weekend. But it is an incredible ride. The ejector airtime you get after the launch on the drop is insane! It is definitely my favorite roller coaster in the park.

One of the very few remaining Arrow Dynamics Launched Loops, Sidewinder is definitely a lot of fun. I was expecting a bit more from the launches, but the ejector you get depending on where you sit (sit in the back for ejector going forwards on the first drop, sit in the front for BACKWARDS ejector on the second drop), as well as the novelty of the model make it a lot of fun. Capacity is very low however, and you're going to be spending a lot of your time cramped onto and climbing a flight of featureless steel stairs while you queue for your ride.

Had great airtime in both directions and the launch wasn't crazy or anything, but was plenty of fun. Was on a nearly empty train, so wonder if that improved the launch.

Inversions Too short Launch

Launch was very lackluster, and the ride is much too short. I liked going backward, but it wasn't interesting enough to re-ride.

sidewinder is a pretty cool addition to this main park of colorado,and one of the 3 arrow's launched loops modals remained,well,it isnt good as the Schwarzkoph ones,they are still pretty fun to ride as well,the thing that killed the ride for me the most were those launches,the launches were pretty weak and nothing to ride home about,they were so forceless and im hoping that they will get a better launches in the future,since yeah,this honestly didnt even felt like a launch.but overall,the exprience it gave was pretty cool,the loop was fairly forceful and intense,espcially backwards,this ride was pretty comfortable and the ride had some good pops of air on thos drops and ups.well yes,its anything speicel,and the launches arent that great,the ride is doing fairly well and its a unique and fun credit to get.
