Wildcat, Wooden roller coaster at Lake Compounce, Bristol, Connecticut
The double out-and-back wooden roller coaster features twisting curves, multiple hills, and a tunnel leading to the brake run section.
Built in 1927 by Philadelphia Toboggan Company, Wildcat holds the distinction of being the fourteenth oldest operating roller coaster in the world.
The roller coaster stands as a testament to American amusement engineering, receiving recognition from the American Coaster Enthusiasts organization.
Following extensive track renovations and mechanical upgrades scheduled for completion in 2024, riders will experience enhanced safety features and smoother operation.
The coaster maintains its original location at Lake Compounce, the longest continuously operating amusement park in the United States since 1846.
