Hersheypark Releases Full, On-Ride POV of Wildcat’s Revenge

First Hybrid Coaster in Pennsylvania Opening This Summer

Take a virtual ride on Wildcat’s Revenge, an all-new hybrid coaster opening at Hersheypark this summer, 100 years after the first Wild Cat ride debuted at the Park. The 15th coaster at Hersheypark adds a new steel track with unique elements to the wooden framework for a one-of-a-kind thrilling ride experience found only at Hersheypark. 

When it opens, Wildcat's Revenge will be the first hybrid coaster manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) in Pennsylvania and join an iconic collection of 15 coasters at Hersheypark - the most in the Northeast.

Hybrid Coaster Experience

The 2-minute and 36-second experience begins as riders sit in one of three custom-themed trains (a design first for Hersheypark), 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.
