Jaguar!, Steel roller coaster at Knott's Berry Farm, US

Jaguar! is a steel family coaster built by Zierer and designed by Werner Stengel, with a 19.8 m friction-wheel lift hill and a 13.7 m first drop angled at 20°. Its red track on light brown supports runs from Fiesta Village through the top of the temple, passes through the loop of MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress, climbs a second lift and returns past the Timber Mountain Log Ride after a banked helix.

Knott's Berry Farm announced Jaguar! in December 1994 with a $10 million budget. Planned for May 1995, the opening was delayed until June 17, 1995. The ride was built by Zierer and designed by Werner Stengel. Under Cedar Fair, the track was repainted from red with brown supports to orange with light blue supports, then returned to red with light brown supports in 2016.

The queue winds through a Mayan-style temple in Fiesta Village, past painted walls showing Aztec gatherings with prisoners, a giant Aztec idol with skulls, and a stone tablet of jaguar-headed warriors. Tribal drums and Mayan sound effects play, and a jaguar roar is triggered when the train enters the final helix.

Riders board from the elevated station at the top of the temple queue in Fiesta Village, after winding through themed rooms and tunnels. Each train has 15 cars seating two riders per row, with three locking positions for the restraint system. The circuit runs once, ending in a brake run back at the station.

The coaster has no inversions: after the 19.8-metre friction-wheel lift and a 13.7-metre first drop at 20 degrees, the train passes through the loop of the neighbouring Montezooma's Revenge, then runs beneath Silver Bullet and close to the Timber Mountain Log Ride. The figure at the front of each train is nicknamed Victor by maintenance staff, after a former Knott's worker who resembled it.
