I honestly and truly love this coaster. It has a first drop that is very intense and took me by surprise. Great G forces all around, I have only ridden this with the original PTCs and I thought it produced a nice intense ride. I can only imagine what those awful M-Flyers did to it, they have the worst restraint system. Hopefully I will be able to get out there this summer to see how its running and update my review.

Ok, I am convinced tht most people are soft sissies. "Its so rough!" Wah, wah , wah. Is it a bit rough? Sure. Does that take away from the furious greatness that is this ride? Nope.

I absolutely love this thing. It is relntless, powerful, and demading. All the things I love in a woodie. You will never go on this thing and disrespect it with yawns and boredom no matter how many times you re-ride it.

The power of this coaster feels to great for the tracks. Litterally at one point around a couple ferocious bends I become convinced the fury is to great for the fragile man made wood bolstering it.

Stop complaining about Wildcat. Man up and enjoy it for the beast that it is.

I found this coaster too rough to enjoy, especially at the back. It is fairly long with a compact layout, which is decent. A bit above average.

The first part of the wild cat is fun and intense but the rest hurts. i always hti my heads with the person next to me. This is a reason why i dont like woodys so much. Besides the bumpiness it is a nice intense ride

Wild Cat is one of those coasters that suffers from simply not riding well. I attribute much of this to the PTC trains, and believe that this coaster would be significantly better with the GCI Flyer trains.

As it is currently, the Wild Cat is definitely wild. The drop, as others have said, is deceptively intense and fast for its size, and provides the ride with a great start. However, on that drop, and therefore right from the get-go, the coaster suffers from excessive amounts of roughness. Generally, I dont mind if a wooden coaster is rough so long as it is controlled, as is the case with the Cyclone, the American Eagle, and others. Here, however, the ride pays no heed to the fact that it is beating the hell out of you, and continues to push blindly along with no intent of letting up. Indeed, the coaster is actually really cool, as it increases in speed and intensity significantly as the ride goes on, so that by the end, you are really smokin. But theres that blasted roughness again, which predictably increases accordingly. I had to put my hands down before the end so as not to crush my sister sitting next to me and also limit the violent shaking that felt to be going on inside my body.

I truly believe this coaster would benefit from a train switch, and if that does indeed ever happen...watch out for this one. It could be as good or better than when it opened, which by all accounts would be an amazing experience.

This was a REALLY GOOD roller coaster, AND it was the first "real" roller coaster that I had ever ridden, excluding kiddie coasters, Disney Worlds Magic Kingdom coasters, and "wild mouse" coasters. Almost everything about it was perfect. The drops were of decent heights AND the speed was great! Now, notice that I said ALMOST everything about it was perfect... The one major negative thing about the Wild Cat is that it is WAAAAAAY too bumpy! I almost banged my head into my friend several times while riding this coaster! While the roughness does make the coaster a bit uncomfortable, I was still able to enjoy the ride the two times that I went on it. If you have ANY kind of neck or back problems, DO NOT RIDE THIS RIDE!!! I hope that Hershey Park replaces the cars on this coaster soon before it starts to severely injure people...

It needs to be a lighter on the head. At one time this would give you an instent headace and make you fear your neck would break. But with these new cars this has turned into a fairly good coaster. The one good thing about it is that the layout is hard to figure out so you can ride it again and again and still get caught off guard

Just like Roar at Six Flags America. Loud, Rough, Painful, And very brutal! Walked away in pain(no exageration)!

What the hell was this? While I thought the ride looked excellent BEFORE I got on, I was rewarded with a rough, jerky experience. While the ride has potential to be quite a good coaster, and the lay-out is actually quite good, the sheer pain I felt while riding cancelled out any fun I was having. Its not as rough as Mean Streak at Cedar Point, however in time it could get to those levels.
