Wolverine Wildcat, Wooden roller coaster at Michigan's Adventure, Muskegon, United States.
Wolverine Wildcat is a wooden roller coaster at Michigan's Adventure amusement park in Muskegon that rises 85 feet high and carries riders through a 3000-foot track with sharp turns. The train holds 24 passengers across four cars as it completes each journey.
This wooden coaster opened in 1988 as the first collaboration between manufacturer Dinn Corporation and designer Curtis D. Summers. Their partnership set a foundation for future roller coaster projects at the park.
The name connects to Michigan's link with the wolverine animal and the University of Michigan's sports teams mascot. Visitors can see this regional identity reflected in the ride's branding and overall design.
Riders must be at least 48 inches tall to experience the ride, and the coaster runs regularly filled trains during operating hours. Check height requirements before waiting in line, and arrive during off-peak times if you want shorter wait times.
In 2022, engineers added 200 feet of specialized Titan Track to the existing wooden structure to improve the riding experience while keeping the traditional design intact. This upgrade shows how older attractions can gain new life through clever engineering solutions.
