Sidewinder is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Elitch Gardens in Denver, Colorado.
This is a fairly simple coaster that takes rides through one loop. Instead of starting from the ground, riders have to ascend stairs fifty feet up to the loading station. The train is launched down a hill, goes into the loop, then up a hill opposite the station. The process is then repeated backwards.
Before being operated at Elitch Gardens this roller coaster was at the Magic Springs & Crystal Falls amusement park as the Roaring Tornado.
