Anaconda is a Giovanola inverted roller coaster located at Gold Reef City in Gauteng, South Africa. The ride is one of only three roller coasters to be manufactured by Giovanola, and is the only inverted Giovanola roller coaster.

Design

Anaconda's design is very similar to that of Bolliger & Mabillard's Batman model. The ride differs from Batman after the second vertical loop when it goes into a helix followed by back-to-back corkscrews, and a second helix.

Many parts of the ride interact with the surrounding rock formations.
