Sidewinder Safari is a steel spinning wild mouse roller coaster located at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California, USA. It was manufactured by Zamperla and opened in 2022.
History
On August 29, 2019, it was announced that Sidewinder Safari would be coming to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.[1] The attraction was originally expected to open in 2020. However, in April of that same year, all references to the ride were removed from the Six Flags website. It was thought that the opening was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.[2]
In December 2021, the ride vehicles began to arrive at the park.[3]
Vertical construction finally began in early 2022. The last piece of track was installed on April 8, 2022.[4]
Sidewinder Safari opened on May 28, 2022, following a media preview the day before.[5][6]
