New Mexico Rattler is a wooden roller coaster located at Cliff's Amusement Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. It is a hybrid roller coaster with wooden track and steel supports.
History
New Mexico Rattler was originally intended to open in the summer of 2002, but was initially delayed due to construction problems. It would be the last coaster by Custom Coasters International. During the New Mexico Rattler's construction, the company would close its offices and would file for bankruptcy the same year.[1] The park subsequently brought construction in house and New Mexico Rattler finally opened on September 28, 2002.[2]
