Sierra Sidewinder at Knott's Berry Farm

Sierra Sidewinder is inside Knott's Berry Farm, which has four themed areas: Ghost Town, Fiesta Village, the Boardwalk, and Camp Snoopy. The park’s address is 8039 Beach Boulevard in Buena Park. Check the park map when planning your route through the grounds so you can locate the ride during your visit.

For a broader look at getting to the park and organizing a day there, the Knott's Berry Farm visit guide from Anaheim covers the larger trip-planning picture.

Check the ride’s current requirements and operating status before you go. Knott's directs guests to its Ride Information page for height requirements and to its accessibility information for details such as expectant-mother and physical requirements. Individual rides can close occasionally, and scheduled closure information may change without notice.

These checks are especially useful if you are planning around a particular ride or accessibility need. Consult the park’s official information for the latest details rather than assuming Sierra Sidewinder will be operating on your visit.

Knott's Berry Farm draws on California history and culture across its four themed areas. You can use those areas to shape the rest of your day around Sierra Sidewinder, while leaving room to confirm the ride’s status and requirements before arrival.

GhostRider is another named coaster at the park. If you’re considering both rides, the GhostRider ride-planning guide offers a separate look at that attraction.

Every guest entering Knott's Berry Farm needs a valid admission ticket or Season Pass. The park is open every day except Christmas Day, but operating hours depend on the date. Knott's says its calendar shows hours and that dates and times can change without notice.
