Wild Cat, Wooden roller coaster in Hershey, United States
The Wild Cat roller coaster extended across the Hersheypark landscape with traditional wooden architecture and steep hills designed for maximum speed thrills.
Operating from 1923 to 1945, Wild Cat marked the beginning of Hersheypark's roller coaster era and established the foundation for future attractions.
The Wild Cat represented early American engineering in wooden roller coaster construction, influencing the design of numerous rides across the country.
Riders experienced speeds through twelve banked turns while being subjected to forces reaching up to 3.5 times the normal gravitational pull.
The original Wild Cat track materials were preserved after closure, with management requesting public input regarding potential uses for 3,100 feet of wooden rails.
