Serpiente Emplumada
Serpiente Emplumada (the feathered serpent) is a spinning ride in México. It stands among the Maya ruins, in the middle of dense vegetation. The ride represents a ritual in honour of the park's most famous serpent.
The concept
At its centre is a sacred totem pole with arms. As the serpent starts to spin, the pole gains more and more power. You sit at the end of an arm and become part of the ritual.
The Experience
The pole spins faster and faster. Meanwhile, the arms lower you to just above the ground and then pull you back up again. So you spin round and swoop up and down at the same time. A short but intense ride for anyone who loves spinning.

Come back after dark
Serpiente Emplumada has striking lighting. According to the park, the ride looks even better after sunset.
Not straight after a meal
The arm spins faster and faster and swings you up and down. Better not to go straight after lunch.
Watch first
Not sure? Watch a ride cycle from the side. Then you'll know exactly how fast and how high you go.
Visitor information

Spinning in México
Serpiente Emplumada is a classic in México. If you love spinning, also head to Yucatan, just a few steps away.
