VALLEJO, Calif. — May 3, 2022 — Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, the Thrill Capital of Northern California, today announced the opening date for a new one-of-a-kind, combination thrilling family coaster and animal exhibit experience--Sidewinder Safari. Featuring real live encounters with various reptiles, guests will be immersed in a jungle-like setting as they prepare for a wild ride along 1,378 feet of slithering track. This one-of-a-kind, new attraction will be the year-round theme park’s 11th roller coaster, while also adding a new animal encounter to the diverse number of animal experiences the park offers.

​“As the world leader in thrills, Six Flags continues to raise the bar to deliver the most unique and innovative experiences in the industry,” said Park General Manager Dameon Nelson. “Sidewinder Safari is unlike any other ride in Northern California, featuring the thrill of a unique, spinning roller coaster combined with an opportunity to encounter reptiles up-close, which continues Six Flags Discovery Kingdom’s long legacy of promoting animal conservation through education. This new experience solidifies our place as the Thrill Capital of Northern California.”

Before boarding Sidewinder Safari, guests will enter a safari-themed queue line. With snakes, lizards and other reptiles surrounding them, guests will board spinning coaster vehicles for an exhilarating experience families and teens alike will enjoy.

We also did a second video, "Five Things I Would Do at Six Flags Magic Mountain If I Was in Charge". 

But I kept this realistic, and honestly, rather low cost. So you're not going to see "Add a Giga" or "Open the Sky Tower" in this video.
