Wildcat’s Revenge Roller Coaster Opens At Hersheypark

Wildcat’s Revenge, the first-ever hybrid coaster at Hersheypark, officially opened to the public today, June 2.

The highly-anticipated debut comes 100 years after the original Wild Cat coaster opened at the Park in 1923. The ride entrance features a modern sign with a section of Wildcat’s original track beside it!

Manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC), Wildcat’s Revenge combines the best of wood and steel by adding a new steel track with unique elements to the wooden framework for a one-of-a-kind thrilling ride experience found only at Hersheypark.

The lead cars on the train feature some amazing, highly detailed, cats! The three custom trains are a design first for Hersheypark and showcase fully-dimensional black, charcoal and silver wild cats on the front.

The 2-minute and 36-second experience begins as riders climb a 140-foot hill, plunge into an 82-degree drop and hit a maximum speed of 62 miles per hour along 3,510 feet of red track on a black steel and wood structure.

The pursuit continues as riders stalk their prey through four inversions, including the World’s Largest Underflip, an inversion that begins with an upward climb, followed by a counterclockwise 270° roll and a dive down towards the side.

Before visiting the park, coaster fans can prepare theirselves for the full experience by taking a front seat ride right now!

The coaster station has been fully renovated with a design that harkens back to the iconic 1923 Wild Cat station, with low-pitched gables around the roof’s perimeter.

Please be advised, no loose articles are permitted on the ride. The station is designed with separate loading and unloading areas, so you must store all loose articles, including phones, in the complimentary dual-side lockers — located inside the queue, before ascending to the load platform. Sunglasses are permitted but, ONLY with a secure strap.

This new coaster joins an impressive lineup of 15 coasters at Hersheypark. The more than 115-year-old amusement park has added significant experiences in the past decade – from the transformational expansion of Hershey’s Chocolatetown region to six coasters since 2012. Guests can enjoy three parks in one at Hersheypark with more than 70 rides, a water park and a zoo included with admission.

Wildcat’s Revenge is now open at Hersheypark. For tickets and more information, visit the official Hersheypark website by clicking here.
