In today's episode, we will be discussing Wildcat at Hersheypark in Hershey, PA. Though the ride has developed a reputation for being rough and uncomfortable, when it opened in 1996, it was revolutionary and extremely thrilling. Wildcat was also the first coaster ever manufactured by legendary coaster manufacturer Great Coasters International, or GCI. The coaster was ranked number 11 in the Golden Ticket Awards' wooden coaster rankings in 1998, and remained in the top 50 for 12 years. Even though the attraction is mostly forgotten about now with additions like SkyRush and Candymonium, Wildcat is an important part of the park’s history, and marked the beginning of Hersheypark’s transition into a destination amusement park.
