29yrswithaGApass Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 I saw this ride on the internet again and was surprised I hadn't shared this sooner. At Santa's Village in New Hampshire they have a kiddie version of the Super Sidewinder called Pixie Mix. This Christmas themed ride features the same exact mechanical components of the Super Sidewinder albeit on a smaller scale and consisting of only one "arm's worth" of overhead workings. The third image below is great! Note how the boy is looking up at the tires and wheels which power the ride. That was so common on the Super Sidewinder.

29yrswithaGApass Posted February 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 This vintage price list from Chance Rides includes the Side Wheeler (Super Sidewinder) at the very bottom. While the price isn't mentioned it does confirm the extra high capacity of 2800 guests per hour. That is a huge number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted January 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Photos of the Super Sidewinder are a rare find. Here are two pictures of the Super Sidewinder when it was located in its original location along Lahaway Creek across from the Fort in the summer of 1977. Super Sidewinder seen across from the Great Race kiddie bumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
