This ride has the absolute best ride-ops I have have ever seen. They were so intense and seemed as enthusiastic about getting the trains out as we were to be riding it them. It really makes for such a better experience.

If only the crews on Candymonium worked half as fast as the wildcat crew. They be stacking trains on the brake run all day

Rode this on Thursday as my first-ever RMC! Even though we're around an hour and a half away from the park, my family and I haven't been to Hersheypark in at least 6-7 years, if not longer. I was stunned at what a great ride this was. Of course, I've never ridden anything as intense as an RMC, so I was nearly crapping my pants before we went on. When we got off we all had to catch our breath a bit. Such a great ride to have so close to home!

Babe, wake up! Canobie Coaster reviewed Wildcat’s revenge

Was there opening day, this ride is so aggressive lol #1 in the park for me and top 3 for sure, and for some reason I love how loud it is when it slams into the lifthill

One of my favorite details about Wildcat’s Revenge is that you can actually see the original drop of Wildcat in the under flip supports! It reminds me a lot of the Rolling Thunder hill on El Toro!

I really enjoyed Wildcat's Revenge. The ride ops were always trying. On a few laps, we would hit the lift as a train was passing overhead. It was also cool to see some video of GCI Wildcat. It's amazing how much Hersheypark has changed over the past 27 years.

What an amazing ride from start to finish. Hershey really does have a complete collection of coasters now.

That unbanked double down I expected to be my favorite moment on this coaster and it is. I love being tossed right and forward almost hitting my head its scary in the best way possible

Wilscats revenge is honestly insane. Probably 3rd for me in the northeast, which is something I never thought I would be saying. Insanly great coaster.

I was skeptical going in, I don't generally like the larger RMCs as much. But I was blown away. It's now the only RMC in my top 10. As an RMC critic, this thing slaps! It's got amazing pacing, great airtime (some surprising moments too), and it looks great. That Saturday night ride absolutely guaranteed it a spot as one of my favorite coasters of all. Also solidifies my love for Hershey. Between Skyrush, Wildcat's Revenge, Storm Runner, and Candymonium... They have such a stacked lineup of coasters.

i was at the park sunday and got to ride back row at night and now can safely say this is the best ride in the park. one of the most agressive rmcs for sure

SOOO many people had trouble with the locker system. It’s not that hard. You just enter a 4 digit pin and boom, your locker opens. Oh, and there was a lady in line ahead of us who had a hat on and the ride ops told her she had to put it in a locker. She kept arguing with them to just let her ride with it. Finally some guy in line said he would hold it for her. The entitlement of some people is just astounding.

Went to the park last weekend. That coaster is definitely the most fun I've had on a ride in a looonnnggg time. It's freaking awesome!

I rode this for the first time about a month ago during my trip to Hershey Park. One word….. SPECTACULAR! This ride met and exceeded my already high expectations.

I’ve only gotten to ride this RMC twice earlier in the summer, and I have only two words for it: GOOD KITTY!

Thanks for the detailed review! You gave a play by play and I loved it!!😅

So lucky to have this beast of a ride so close, Hersheypark has quite the Elite lineup. May the future only be brighter

Been waiting for your review on this.

Great in depth review as always. Also I love commenting on your videos because you somehow manage to reply to every comment. I don’t know how you do it.

Been looking forward to this review ever since you posted the off ride footage!! Really appreciate ya man!

7:27 this coaster I’ve heard did have assigned seating due to its 1.Newest Ride and 2.Loading Station is Narrow,but I’m thinking that maybe relaxed like candymonium did on that coaster’s opening year back in 2020 but I hope I’m not wrong

I visted Hershey yeaterday on a very busy day and they were only running 2 trains on this coaster. I waited about 45 minutes the second time but am hour the first due to it going down briefly. The operations were pretty good for not using all 3 trains but some people really need to pay more attention when loading and that alone would help. This coaster really is fantastic and I say that as a fan of the original Wildcat, particularly in it's early days with the PTC trains as it ran so much faster. I think it's my number 2 at Hershey behind Stormrunner but it's very close.

To me it is so weird to see the new wood right next to the old weathered wood of the og wildcat

Went to Hershey on Monday 8/28. Great day without many lines. Got 5 rides on Wildcats Revenge and 29 overall. This coaster was a walk on all day. Going on non-Friday weekdays, especially early or late in the summer is the best way to enjoy this park.

Hard toss up between if this or Skyrush are my favorite coaster at Hershey now

I think that Hersheypark really needs a world class coaster that people can unanimously agree is one of the best. Steel Vengeance, Velocicoaster, Fury 325, Etc. Skyrush is probably the most polarizing coaster on earth, and WR is just a great RMC, but it isn’t even the best in the park, or the best RMC that opened this year. I think this park could really use a family launch coaster, followed by a Mack extreme spinner or an intamin Giga to put the nail in the coffin, and solidify it as having one of the, if not the most stacked ride lineups in the world.

I cannot wait to get in this coaster. If I can get there for the holidays, that would be a wild first ride.

I love this ride

Glad you enjoyed Wildcat’s Revenge. I was glad to meet you at BGW last month.

Rode this for the first time last week. Shockingly great. I have it up there with Voyage and Outlaw Run as a top 10 coaster.

Hershey has some amazing coasters some of the best on the planet their coasters are amzing

rode this on june 2nd and it was AWSOME

5:35 that timing with Fahrenheit is amazing

Wildcats revenge is amazing. Easily the best roller coaster in the park and it is my overall number 2 behind steel vengeance. I have it over rides like Iron Gwazi, El Toro, Voyage, Fury, I305, Skyrush,and Velocicoaster. I thought it was that good. Every element was done so perfectly, pacing was perfect, and the ops were amazing.

Michael, So glad you've returned from Gothenburg to review another fine RMC! I made my first trip to Hershey last Summer, and Wildcat was my least favorite (I rode all the coasters except Pioneer Train) by far. Wildcat's Revenge looks like a real contender, and I hope to return to Hershey someday. Thanks for the review; It was nicely done. Tom.

Best station music ever

Great review! I'm surprised it didn't capute more of that wild, out of controlness for you as much as it did for me at least. I find its aggressiveness, pacing, and sequence of maneuvers create a uniquely intense and disorienting experience, and some of those airtime moments and transitions are just so powerful and unexpected that I find myself unable to brace every time. I know it's not a common take, but those things make it one of if not the most aggressive/intense coaster I've personally ridden. Haven't been out to Gwazi yet, but my friend that rode the same day as me said that Wildcat is even aggressive in a certain way that Gwazi is not. We'll see I guess!

Of the 21 RMCs I’ve ridden, I have wildcats revenge at #7 out of the 21. It is in my overall top 20. It was better than expected when it came to pacing. Drop was on the weaker side for me and the first element (under flip ) was not as good as expected. I felt the pacing help the ride get better as it went along and those transitions at the end I really enjoyed them. I do have SkyRush ahead of it as well.

We visited Hersheypark last Thursday. We did buy the Fast Track Unlimited, but it was unnecessary for most rides, including Wildcat's Revenge. By a long shot, this was our favorite coaster of the trip. Even the pre-lift is fantastic. Also managed to make it credit 300.

Definitely now the park with the most well rounded set of coasters in existence really. Even though not everything they have is best in class, they have something decent of pretty much *every* class. Such a well rounded line up. B&M Hyper, B&M invert, Classic Woodie, Racing woodie, RMC, Intamin Launch, Intamin Looper, Intamin hyper.

This ride opened on the same day as the theatrical release of Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse!

I'm wearing my wildcat's revenge shirt while watching this lol

She station in my opinion is very cool looking,the train design looks very nice,the unloading system is very good idea and RMC should keep doing it,and the black truss with red track looks so pretty

Great coasters international, Hersheypark and Rocky Mountain construction made wildcat’s revenge up

This coaster has received the Golden Ticket Award For Best New Roller Coaster!

Canobie Coaster would say: If you weren't able to tell by my element-by-element breakdown, this ride's pacing is phenomenal. You cruise from one element to the next, and the sense of speed is enhanced by all those near-misses. In terms of smoothness, Wildcat tracks flawlessly. That being said, I could see some finding a few of the transitions, particularly during the finale, a bit too aggressive. For example, my wife found Wildcat a bit too violent towards the end for her tastes. If I ask you, what do "aggressive" and "violent" mean in the quote?

Awesome review again! Top 10 RMC?

Canobie Coaster would say: In terms of smoothness, Wildcat tracks flawlessly. That being said, I could see some finding a few of the transitions, particularly during the finale, a bit too aggressive. For example, my wife found Wildcat a bit too violent towards the end for her tastes. Say "very aggressive" and "a bit too aggressive". See the differences between the two things. What is the most notable one? What do you think? Canobie Coaster would say: A) Both feel the same. B) Very aggressive is more beyond what someone could have found comfortable. C) A bit too aggressive is more beyond what someone could have found comfortable.

This ride is the best rmc ive ever ridden, even beating out vengeance for me.

I hope you visit oakwood theme park also love this vid

I went on this coaster 3 days in August and it was insane! I only had to wait 30 minutes at most in the line as well. (Not including the time it broke down right before I got on that added another 15-20 minutes) Edit: I'm hoping that they eventually either retrack or RMC Lightning Racer as well cause I found it rly rough. Out of the two options I think a retrack would be better cause the park doesn't really have any other twister layout coasters, and they just got an RMC. I think if they retracked Lightning Racer it would be a lot better.

I rode this in August and my first ride i was able to get right up to the lockers without a fast pass. This was on a Tuesday so that may have been why

Just went to Hersheypark for the first time last month for the weekend. It is one of the best parks I have been to so far. Before Wildcat's Revenge opened, I had never even considered going to Hersheypark eventhough I always only heard good things about it. I definitely rate Wildcat's Revenge a 10 out of 10. Steel Vengeance is epic but I love the Cat's short and sweet attack. Hopefully my homepark Great Adventure will eventually add one of these to rival this masterpiece. 👍👍👍

Canobie Coaster would say: Wildcat had a good layout. It was a twisted mess of track with some nice airtime pops, particularly in its early years with the PTC trains. But the ride fell out of favor over the following decade. This was for two reasons. First, the coaster became rough. PTC trains were not the most adept at navigating a twisty layout like that of Wildcat. That is why the later GCIs ran Millennium Flyer trains. Wildcat actually got these trains in 2007, but the track had already been beat up. Second, Hersheypark opened Lightning Racer in 2000. This was a dueling wooden coaster, also from GCI. And it was also placed in Midway America as well. The ride also had a twister layout like Wildcat... A) It was far better received for its stronger airtime, smoothness, Millennium Flyers from day one, and racing element. B) While the airtime wasn't quite as strong, it was far more popular with parkgoers for its smoother ride, Millennium Flyers from day one, and racing element.

As always, the review is super accurate! I agree, Skyrush still is better but Wildcat's Revenge is definitely close. Also- 14:29 there's a cut that snuck into the end video! I'm pretty sure youtube lets you cut those out, right?

Never thought this before but you reminded me of Rick sebak's voice on this one. Look up wqed Kennywood memories for example you'll see what I'm saying lol

I heard Canadas Wonderland here is getting an RMC with our wildbeast wood coaster. Bet it will be call Wildbeast Revenge. We are rumored to be expecting maybe 3 new coasters by 2026 average of one new coaster per year.

Hershey’s my home park, and I’m happy to have an RMC 15 minutes from home! That said, I think the middle-third of the ride is weird and a little weak, and the double down comes out of nowhere. A little more spacing between elements may have helped, too. Don’t really coming into the brakes with such speed, although without a mid-course I don’t see how it would help interval. I think the layout is just not as good as Wicked Cyclone or Twisted Timbers. This is my 11th RMC and I think I’m ready to see them elevate/evolve their layouts (including a real vertical loop) going forward.

After riding Arieforce, all other RMC's just seem a bit dull to me, including Wildcat. Damn you, Arieforce!! I haven't ridden Gwazi yet, though.

Sadly, there aren't that many RMCs in the Northeast--it was basically Wicked Cyclone and the single-rail Jersey Devil, and as much as I love Wicked Cyclone, any new RMC I-box ride was likely to beat those. For whatever reason, RMC's early expansion happened mostly in the South, and they still have more of them than any other region.

After riding this and sky rush, I think six flags New England has a challenger for best 1-2 punch

Easily my favorite at Hershey! I always found Skyrush overrated after the great first drop. So, after this trip, it's Wildcat #1 (and I remember the rough previous Wildcat, but my first time riding in the late '90s was great - anytime after was insanely rough and headache-inducing), and then my beloved Storm Runner at #2 (used to be my fave in the park before this visit). Candymonium would be my #3.

Notice how the track looks like licorice. They should call it Twizzlers Revenge, as it would get revenge against those who eat Red Vines.😄😄

I was shocked when I first rode this with my dad we did front row when we entered and the last row when we were leaving and the last row was ridiculous I had no idea what just happened

Different people have any of the three coasters as their favorite. Canobie Coaster, what's your favorite of the three? Why?

Does the double down ride similar to that on Zadra? They seem very alike

Where did you get access to the station music for Wildcat’s Revenge?

Some of the comments seen in this video, they asked you the comparisons between this ride, Wildcat's Revenge at Hersheypark, and Hades 360 at Mt. Olympus. In terms of ride experience, did you like both? Did you think both rode and/or felt similar?

What are the differences between the two? What do you think?

Some people found Candymonium or Wildcat's Revenge as their favorite coaster at Hersheypark, as they found the restraints on the intense coaster too tight. And you, Canobie Coaster?

I just went there this weekend. It's probably 3 for me. Sky rush and storm runner are better for me.

Great coasters international’s first roller coaster is Defunct

Don't you think an RMC just like that would fit perfectly behind the Swarm at Thorpe Park... #ukrmc We Believe!

I can confirm zipper pockets are fine

When a coaster gets rmc’d, does rmc have to get permission from the original manufacturer? Like in these case, did rmc need permission from gci?

I have heard rope drop so many times, but don't know what it means.

Do you prefer this coaster over arieforce one?

The ending feels like theming to me it’s aggressive and the wildcat is coming for its prey

Karenna early rode this coaster on august 9, 2023 2 days before I rode hades 360° on the right side of the train twice just like what I just did with the left side of the train in 2021 and 2022

I can confirm that they'll let you through if you put everything in your zipper pockets.

In 2021 me riding hades 360° felt like riding this coaster with the red millennium flyer trains on it

I got 7 rides on sept 9

This is one of RMC’s latest creations

I Feel Bad For GCI Because They Lost The Bid To RMC On Who Get's To Convert Wildcat , I Would Have Loved To See What GCI Would Have Done With Their Titan Track To Wildcat.

We think Wildcat's Revenge is the best ride at the park for many. And for you, Canobie Coaster?

This roller coaster is as short as intimidator 305 at kings dominion the amusement park but longer

It's a split between, what does that mean?

GCI’s first roller coaster is Defunct

While it was rough, did you think Wildcat at Hersheypark had a bad layout? But it was not placed in your video of top 25 worst roller coasters in the world (2020).

This ride was called the wildcat and it was rough in 2019

So what would you rate this coaster? A 2?

This roller coaster is just like iron gwazi and steel vengeance

Imagine saying: very aggressive pretty aggressive too aggressive I think they are similar, but what are the differences between the three? What do you think?

7:02 I mean I can’t entirely blame him, no zippered / buttoned pocket exceptions is stupid

Best RMC In The Northeast!
