This ride has had more names than Elizabeth Taylor has had husbands. Well, not quite. originally it was called 'Ladybird', then 'Rattlesnake' and now 'Snake In the Grass'. Even at the time of writing it's a bit confusing, but 'Snake In the Grass' is the most likely but for sake of argument, we're sticking with Rattlesnake.
The ride is excellent and is Pleasurewood Hill's best themed ride. It starts with a climb up through a tunnel before whizzing around the trees and swooping towards the ground. A terrain coaster if you will. At several points throughout the ride, the tunnel comes back into play. If you sit above one of the wheels then prepare yourself for a vibrating bottom all the way round ;)
Although the tunnel and terrain look good and add to the ride experience, it needs a bit of a spruce up! During quiet periods, you can expect two circuits per ride!

It has added things to treetop coaster at Oakwood, such as te tunnel, light and sound effects, the tunnels are really fun in my opinion, but it was better when it went down the drop aswell!

Quite fast if sitting at the back, but anywhere else and it's slow. A good kiddie-coaster, however, but it's not worth anything higher than a 4/10. It also used to be better when it had the tunnel after the first drop, but they've now taken it away.
