Rattlesnake
Chessington World of Adventures, England

Rattlesnake
Make/ModelMaurer Söhne Wilde Maus Classic
TypeSteel - Wild Mouse
Year Built1998
at CWoA1998 to present

No coaster I've ridden scares me more than Rattlesnake, Chessington's highly themed wild mouse complete with a frightening first section of tight turns giving the feeling you're about to plummet 50 feet to the ground. Taking a spot at the centre of the park, Rattlesnake had to be half buried in the ground to get around the maximum building height restriction placed on Chessington by the local council. Definitely one to avoid if you've got back problems.
