Swamp Thing

Swamp Thing is a steel suspended coaster at Wild Adventures where riders hang beneath the track as they move through the course. The ride stretches approximately 1,100 meters in length and reaches a maximum height of about 15 meters above the ground.

This coaster was manufactured by Vekoma and began operating in 2003, introducing a family-friendly suspended ride experience to the park. Its construction marked an expansion in the park's offerings for different age groups.

The ride's alligator-themed decorations reference the wildlife found in southeastern swamps. The themed landscape around the track helps visitors feel as though they are traveling through an actual wetland environment.

Visitors should understand that the suspended design means your feet dangle freely in the air throughout the entire ride. It is helpful to secure loose items before boarding to avoid losing them.

The suspended design means riders hover with their legs dangling above the track below. This floating sensation over the ground beneath you is the distinctive feature that sets this ride apart from typical supported coasters.
