| Standort: | Originally opened in the park's US section under the name "Sidewinder". It was located next to the "Humble Happy Motoring Freeway" (now called "Exxon"). A second track was added to the Humble Happy Motoring Freeway for the 1962 season and the Sidewinder was relocated to the park's Mexico section. |
| Etymology: | While in the Mexico section the roller coaster was called "La Cucaracha" (Spanish for "Cockroach"). |
| Facts: | La Cucaracha's queue building was reused by "El Sombrero" a Chance built "Trabant" ride with a Mexican hat theme. |
| | There are some references that claim the Cucaracha was relocated to "Forest Park" at the Fort Worth Zoo. This is not likely because the Cucaracha was a Herschell "Mad Mouse" model while Forest Park had a "Monster Mouse" model. |
