From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WildCat, designed by Anton Schwarzkopf, 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 quickly.
[edit] Relocation
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, one of which is near the current location of Wicked Twister. Since it debuted in 1970, Wildcat has given more than 25 million rides.[1]
[edit] Incidents
In May 2008 during the opening weeks of the season, WildCat suffered a 'roll back'. A car traveling up the lift hill did not make it all the way up and rolled back down, hitting another car. This incident injured nine guests, all of whom were treated at the first aid station in the park.[2]
