WR's addition to Hershey really gives them a stacked lineup. Definitely top 3 in the US.
You really didn't like the unbanked double down (jarring moment #1 - the first element after the second wave turn)? For me that was one of the highlights of the ride - the rest of it felt like pretty standard RMC stuff, i.e. ultra elite, but not surprising. But that specific element combined airtime and laterals in a way I had never felt before, and I think it showed some creativity in a layout that-while super good-is pretty paint-by-numbers otherwise.
In my opinion and i think many others would probably agree, but I actually love those two super jarring hills that you mentioned. They make the second half of the ride feel a lot more out of control and fast paced, especially adding on top that small ejector pop before the break run. Even if they feel a bit uncomfortable, they are mighty wicked and thankfully im the type to actually enjoy it. Especially since they are nothing we've seen on another RMC and only add to the originality factor. This keeps it as a top tier RMC for me, and I might even like that second half better than the first in all honesty
We got on this a few weeks ago and loved it (but both of our rides were either a night ride or an afternoon ride) - very forceful and fantastic in the back. The locker system was great, but as we are prepared 40+ year olds, we knew to wear zipper pockets and bypass the lockers. But we almost got into an argument with a family that tried to hold up the line on the stairs waiting for the rest of their family at the lockers, expecting everyone to wait for them. Their theme park etiquette was horrible, and I couldn't believe they expected everyone to wait for their locker hold up. I made sure it didn't ruin my [excellent] ride and calmly explained that they should have all waited at the locker and not stop the entire line at the top of the stairs. (You can tell I'm still salty over this lol! But only because they acted like we were all in the wrong for walking around them!)
Did Pennsylvania pass a law requiring every park in the state to gave a coaster with revenge in the name?
Looks like a great ride! I just can't wait for RMC to finally decide to fix their restraints. That's the only thing keeping their coasters from being world-class to me, especially all the newer ones. Maybe one day they'll figure that out.
Son of beast felt the wrath of the banshee more rides started disappearing vortex and fire hawk yet it still won’t stop
Wildcat's Revenge really adds alot to Hersheypark. Hersheypark is my home park and what a park to have as a home park. I figured it was only a matter of time until some park in PA would getan RMC.
My main thing about this ride is that has a very complete layout! It's a perfect mix of airtime and inversions. This ride seems to just get faster as it goes on! I do think that the helix gets a bit boring at the end of the ride. Maybe if they overbanked the helix into a stall briefly, and then came back out of it! (The NESman roll if you will😅) Also, I personally really enjoyed the lateral double down and lateral hill into the brakes, but to each their own, right?
Have you seen my Steel Vengeance VS Iron Gwazi rap battle?
I'm with you in that I believe the pure airtime hill is the best part of the ride. Wish RMC would use straight airtime more often.
You are absolutely correct about the ops. I have not had one op that has really lowered the bar much at all in my 20-30 rides over a bunch of days. If you ask me, being able to ride this however you want is a massive plus over any other rmc.
Wildcat's Revenge has to be my favorite ride at Hershey now. I have ridden several times and in different seats but my favorite parts are while sitting in the back. The airtime from the first drop and out of the first wave turn are amazing. Though, I do agree that the end doesnt feel as complete as the first half. But overall it's a great ride and I'm very glad I got season passes to ride this as much as I want this year.
Ill be getting to my third RMC in August when i go to Kings Dominion. Im very excited for that. RMC's are on another level. As of right now...
Wildcats revenge is the perfect balance of intensity, without being over the top. It seems to focus on floater airtime more then straight ejector like steel Vengeance. I feel like this ride isn't too out of control for the GP but it was good enough to crack my top 5. I think it's definitely better then twisted timbers.
It’s a terrific addition to the park, pacing is perfect, the 270 underflip reminds me of Untamed, the zero G stall leaves you hanging for jusssssst the right amount of time and the transitions from element to element are buttery smooth although agree with you 💯 on the braid run (I needed one last pop and make it a 50 second ride 😂)! Also, it’s a gorgeous colour scheme, looks like a beauty!!!
I really liked Wildcat's Revenge, but I absolutely call it a mid teir RMC. I have it 5th of 9 RMCs I have been on which still falls in my top 10 (of 174). Definitely high on the list of PA coasters as well, but I personally liked Phoenix a touch better (they are close for sure). Was absolutely the right call by Hersheypark.
Wildcats revenge is in my top 5
Something I've noticed about RMC's in general is they need to warm up. Much more so than any other manufacturer in my experience. I'm guessing it's a quirk of the IBox track. My only rides on Wildcats Revenge were after it warmed up But I did notice it was still getting faster through the day.
Thank you for talking about the drop. I loved the drop and I feel like not enough people are talking about that thing. Back row with your hands up is a crazy experience
