Hersheypark today shared exciting new photos and video of Wildcat’s Revenge construction, including the installation of the Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) hybrid coaster’s arch-like lift hill pinnacle.
Wildcat’s Revenge is Hersheypark’s 15th roller coaster and is a reimagining of the former Wildcat wooden coaster, the structure of which will support RMC’s signature I-Box track.
The coaster will stretch 3,510 feet in length — trains will reach a top speed of 62 mph at the base of the 82-degree first drop.
The coaster’s lift hill will now climb 140 feet into the sky, a significant increase over Wildcat’s 106-foot-tall lift hill.
Wildcat’s Revenge will pack four inversions, including the world’s largest “underflip,” an inversion that starts with an upward climb, followed by a 270-degree roll and a sideways dive.
Even prior to the arch’s installation, Wildcat’s Revenge’s imposing structure and its striking red track are already making a big impact on the Hersheypark skyline:
The coaster will look even more menacing once the track is installed on the lift hill.
Wildcat’s Revenge is expected to open this summer.
