Wildcat to be Demolished at Celebration City

After sitting dormant for six years, the Wildcat roller coaster at former Celebration City is set to be demolished. The process will take several months and will start immediately. Celebration City is owned by Herschend Family Entertainment, the same company that owns Silver Dollar City and Dollywood.

The company stated that the only reason the Wildcat had not been taken down sooner was that the funds were not present to do so. They went on to say that there was no way that the coaster could have been relocated due to its unique structure. Many of the attractions that operated at Celebration City have already been moved to other parks or dismantled to use as parts for other rides.

Before Herschend Family Entertainment bought the park, it operated as Branson USA and was only open from 1999 to 2001 (closed due to financial issues). The company had high hopes for Celebration City to complement the nearby Silver Dollar City, but the park failed and closed in 2008. There are no plans as far as what will occupy the land next.
