WildCat, Steel roller coaster at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.
The Wildcat featured multiple tight turns and small hills in a figure-8 design, generating strong lateral forces through its compact layout.
Designed by Werner Stengel and built by Anton Schwarzkopf, the roller coaster operated from 1979 until its removal in 2012 for the Celebration Plaza expansion.
The steel coaster maintained Cedar Point's tradition of selecting names from previous attractions, as it was the second ride to carry the Wildcat designation.
Passengers needed to measure at least 48 inches in height and demonstrate ability to climb vertical ladders for emergency evacuations.
The ride delivered over 25 million experiences during its operation, with a distinctive braking system requiring riders to extend their arms and brace for a rapid stop.
