(HERSHEY, PA. \u2013 November 2, 2022) <\/strong>\u2013 Wildcat is back and seeking vengeance. Hersheypark amusement park today announced the details of its all-new Wildcat\u2019s <\/strong>Revenge <\/strong>hybrid coaster. One of 15 coasters at Hersheypark, the wood and steel hybrid will join one of the largest and most iconic coaster collections in the United States in summer 2023, 100 years after the first Wild Cat ride debuted at the Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC), Wildcat\u2019s Revenge <\/strong>adds an all-new steel track with unique elements to the existing wooden framework for a one-of-a-kind thrilling ride experience found only at Hersheypark. The hybrid coaster features a 140-foot hill, maximum speeds of 62 miles per hour and four inversions, including the World\u2019s Largest Underflip.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cBased on our guest feedback, we knew coaster fans would love a hybrid at Hersheypark, and we\u2019re thrilled to work with RMC on a custom wood and steel coaster with a nod to our history,\u201d said Vikki Hultquist, General Manager of Attractions at Hersheypark. \u201cWildcat\u2019s Revenge features the very best of RMC\u2019s signature thrills, including four inversions with the World\u2019s Largest Underflip, Inverted Stall, Zero-G Roll and Reversing Downhill Roll.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unique Hybrid Coaster Experience<\/em><\/strong>
Located in the Midway America region of Hersheypark, Wildcat’s Revenge <\/strong>features a fully renovated coaster station with a design that harkens back to the iconic 1923 Wild Cat station, with low-pitched gables around the perimeter of the roof. Guests of Hershey\u2019s <\/strong>height requirement and taller (48 inches and above) will sit in one of three custom trains, showcasing fully-dimensional black, charcoal and silver wild cats exacting revenge on their wooden predecessor. The thematic elements are a design first for Hersheypark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s Largest Underflip, an inversion that begins with an upward climb, followed by a counterclockwise 270\u00b0 roll and a dive down towards the side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following its summer 2023 debut, Wildcat\u2019s Revenge will be open for all four seasons, weather permitting. For more information, visit www.Hersheypark.com\/explore-the-park\/rides\/wildcats-revenge\/<\/a> and follow along on social media using #WildcatsRevenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new coaster joins an impressive lineup of 15 coasters at <\/strong>Hersheypark. The more than 115-year-old amusement park has added significant experiences in the past decade – from the transformational expansion of Hershey\u2019s Chocolatetown region <\/strong>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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
