Wildebeest, Water coaster in Santa Claus, United States.

Wildebeest is a water coaster at Holiday World and Splashin' Safari that travels along red and yellow fiberglass tracks through the park. The ride features seven drops and two underground tunnels along its course.

This water coaster opened in 2010 at the park and was initially one of the longest of its kind worldwide. Another ride later exceeded this length, but the coaster remains well known.

The ride received multiple Golden Ticket Awards from Amusement Today magazine, including Best New Waterpark Ride in 2010 and Best Waterpark Ride in 2010, 2011, and 2022.

The ride has a ground-level conveyor system that helps visitors with mobility needs avoid climbing stairs. This makes the experience more accessible to more people.

Linear induction motors beneath the surface work with steel plates under the boat to push riders uphill through wooded terrain. This propulsion system sets it apart from typical water slides.
