The New Mexico Rattler

New Mexico Rattler, officially The New Mexico Rattler, is a hybrid roller coaster located at Cliff's Amusement Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The wooden roller coaster, which uses a steel support structure, was designed and manufactured by Custom Coasters International (CCI). The $2-million coaste

r opened to the public on September 28, 2002. CCI went bankrupt before the final portion of the coaster was completed, delaying its opening. The park finished building the attraction in-house by hiring former CCI employees and other staff, resulting in additional costs for the project. The hybrid coaster reaches a height of 80 feet (24 m), a maximum speed of 47 mph (76 km/h), and features a total track length of 2,750 feet (840 m). Though it only occupies 1 acre (0.40 ha), its layout spans the entire length of the park.
