  • This Schwarzkopf Wildcat coaster might look very familiar to many viewers, as it operated over 30 years at Lightwater Valley in England as an enclosed coaster. It was was renamed to Raptor Attack a dozen years before moving to Circuit Of The Americas in 2021, but do you know what it was called when it originally opened in 1987?
    Cotaland is located near Austin, Texas on the grounds of the Circuit Of The Americas, the race track that servers as the home of Formula 1 and MotoGP in the USA.

      Schwarzkopf made some weird coasters back in the day. A launch after the station, and a chain lift made from actual chain? So weird 😂😂

    I rode this a few times at LWV. The dark room and themed queue line made it a lot of fun, and I'll always miss it. It was originally called The Rat when it first opened.

    This is awesome. Even though it’s an old coaster having these rides will add more to experience during race weekends at COTA. Especially, for F1 weekend! I hope to one day visit COTA to watch an F1 race and get some coaster credits!

    If it werent for the 2 people standing on the platform at the end, Id totally believe this to be from the No Limits coaster game :P The sky is perfect, the track is perfect. Its just the way it was filmed and the high quality of the video :P Thumbs up if you agree this looks like (but isnt) a No Limits video!
