Sierra Sidewinder • Knott's Berry Farm

Fun Too short

Lots of spinning and decently more intense than I expected. It’s over pretty quickly though.

Nice surprise! Fun Smoothness Lap Bar

fun little mack spinner, smooth with a pretty comfy lapbar

Fun

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.

Nice surprise! Intensity Layout Rattle Capacity

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.

Fun

Ok and it spins a lot at the start and end but not in the middle not as good as similar rides like spinball whizzer or turantula

Fun

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

Fun Intensity Layout

Sierra Sidewinder is an awesome family coaster. But I have to be honest, this thing is very overrated among enthousiasts. It's a great family coaster and I don't think it's super overrated, but it's just not as intense as people say it is. Cuz, obviously it's a family coaster. There isn't really any standout moment for me, besides that decently intense helix. The spinning on this ride is very fun. If you visit Knott's, be sure to give this ride a spin as it's very fun and worth your time.

this is what you call a "near extreme" coaster.its a nice surprise, + it has a FREAKING overbank on it.

Really fun, I enjoy every ride I get on it.

Nice surprise! Layout Too short

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.

Nice surprise! Fun Layout Too short

This ride is in a good area of the park, and is a great family coaster. It usually doesn't have a long wait either. The spinning aspect of this ride is everything. If there was no spinning, the ride wouldn't be that much thrilling. It's smooth, and it's a different experience everytime you go on this ride because the weight of the cars determine your spinning.

Nice surprise! Fun

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

Fun Discomfort

The spinning can be a little much depending on where you sit, but it's still a pretty decent little coaster. Not one of my favorites at Knott's but I'll still go on it next time.

Nice surprise! Intensity Headbanging

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.

Nice surprise! Fun Too short

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.

Nice surprise! Fun

Wasn’t expecting this to spin as much as It did. The spinning created some really great moments of intensity and was just plain fun. Good tight layout and excellently done family coaster.

This exceeded my expectations by a ton. Favorite part was definitely the helix mid ride.

Pace Fun Layout

Pretty fun ride. Smooth, twisty, and compact.

Nice surprise! Intensity

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.
