WildCat is a roller coaster located at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. It is a ’’Wild Mouse’’-style coaster where small cars (each holding four passengers) take many tight turns and small hills that produce negative g-forces as well as strong lateral forces. At the end of the ride, riders are given a visual signal by the operator to extend their arms and hold on, as the train stops extremely quick.

[edit] Trivia

Wildcat is the only roller coaster in Cedar Point that has been relocated since being built. It had been in two previous places before settling where it is today.
