Wildcat's Revenge Media Day at Hersheypark

Yesterday Shawn and Alexander headed to Hersheypark for Wildcat's Revenge Media Day. Thanks to both Shawn and Alexander for taking the time out of their busy schedules to cover this event, and a HUGE thanks as always to Hersheypark for including us in their media day invitation. It's never lost on us what a privilege it is to be included in such things. 

We've got lots to show you, so let's get right into it. We have lots of pics from Shawn but also lots of video and other footage provided by Hersheypark! 

​Let's check out some ride information first! 

Wildcat’s Revenge, the first-ever hybrid coaster at Hersheypark, opens to the public today, June 2. The hybrid's highly-anticipated debut comes 100 years after the original Wild Cat coaster opened at the Park in 1923.

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 new hybrid is the 15th coaster at Pennsylvania’s largest amusement park, which is now home to the most coasters in the Northeast.

HYBRID COASTER EXPERIENCE:

  • ​Wildcat's Revenge is the first hybrid coaster manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) in Pennsylvania.
  • 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. 
  • Wildcat's Revenge 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 roof's perimeter. 
  • Guests of Hershey’s 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.

Let's get into some of the amazing pics and thoughts from Shawn and Alexander. 

We got to ride it 4 times! We loved it! It’s a long ride and balances the extreme airtime RMC does with more positive G's. The ride also features some unexpected laterals in the mix.

Even though it was media day for a new RMC, no day at Hersheypark is complete without some rides on some of their amazing coasters.
