Sidewinder Safari is a steel spinning roller coaster at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California, next to the park's Temple of the Tiger. It is a Zamperla Twister Coaster (420-meter model) and opened on May 28, 2022.
Single cars climb a chain lift and follow a wild-mouse layout of hairpin turns and drops while the cars spin freely. RCDB lists a 1,378-foot track, a height of 43 feet, a top speed of 29 mph and no inversions.
The ride combines a coaster with an animal exhibit: the queue passes live rattlesnakes and other reptiles. The minimum height is 48 inches, or 42 inches with an accompanying adult.
