The Sidewinder is back in business! Whoohoo! The ride at Elitch Gardens closed in 2023 because it needed an electrical system upgrade and, apparently, some of the parts were difficult to find. Fun fact, the Sidewinder is one of only three rides of its type left in the world! It was originally installed at Elitch Gardens back in 1990 (at its previous location) then moved to its current location in 1995. Read more about it on 9news.com.
