Wolverine Wildcat is a wooden roller coaster at Michigan's Adventure near Muskegon, Michigan. It first opened in 1988 before Cedar Fair purchased the park. For 10 years, Wolverine Wildcat was one of the most thrilling wooden roller coasters in the park. It has become over shadowed by Shivering Timbers. They are both located in Timbertown, near the Timbertown Railway Station.

[edit] Anniversary

Wolverine Wildcat will celebrate it's 20th year at Michigan's Adventure in 2008. This is a very exciting year also because Shivering Timbers will turn 10 years old and Thunderhawk will be debuting in 2008 as well.[1] Thunderhawk will be located right next to Wolverine Wildcat.
