Step into the desert heat and prepare for a wild ride—Rattlesnake is no ordinary coaster. Since 1998, this steel wild mouse-style roller coaster has been whipping adventurers through a rugged Mexican mine. Prepare to explore deep in outlaw territory.

Designed to evoke the grit and gold-rush spirit of a mining camp during the wild west era. Rattlesnake throws you straight into the action. The bold, stylised entrance sets the scene, plunging guests into a dusty, sun-scorched world where dynamite blasts and rattling tails are never far away. Wind your way through wooden tunnels and sunbaked rockwork, all under the watchful eye of the ride’s sly mascot—the rattlesnake himself.

With strict height restrictions in the area, the ride plunges into the earth, nestled inside a deep excavation once home to the park’s giraffe habitat. This clever design means thrill-seekers descend into a hidden canyon before even boarding the train. Once on board, the adventure kicks into high gear. Climb the first lift hill to the ride’s highest point, where panoramic views of the park flash by—then hold tight as you’re hurled through a series of sharp, hairpin turns. Just when you catch your breath, the first drop hits, sending you racing through more wild twists and sudden dips. All before the final plunge into the brake run.

Though time has weathered some of its original charm, Rattlesnake still bites with style. A fresh round of theming updates in 2021 breathed new life into this desert legend, and fans keep coming back for more. It’s bold, it’s fast, and it’s packed with character—just like any good story out of the wild west. Ready to ride?
