this was the first ever wild mouse coaster I had ever been on, and I was impressed. I thought wild mouse coasters would be boaring, but Ricochet has a nice first drop and those hairpin turns are fun too.

This ride is near perfect for its type. Braking is right where it needs to be, and the first drop is excellent! Also, ive netted about five really cool on-site pictures (but I was too cheap to buy any of them)

From what I understand this is supposed to be a really good mouse, but when I rode they had the trims turned all the way up, so there were no laterals at all, it was pretty lame but Ill give it two extra points for the great drop.

One of my favorite mice just because the layout is so different from every other mouse out there. The pacing is great from beginning to end and feels like it takes the course as fast as it can.

The braking was a little heavier than the Ricochet at Paramount Carowinds but PC doesnt have a custom 50ft drop built in. I very nice wild mouse. The kids will love it.

A great wild-mouse coaster. This wild-mouse is unique because it has that nice, swooping, 50ft. drop. The turns are great. But the brakes on those turns slow down the ride. I took two points away because of the long lines, and the short ride.

Unique layout for a wild mouse (not an out of the box design). They do seem to be very particular about the lap bars... I saw a few people turned away becaus the bars would not click a 3rd time... even though there was no space between the person and the bar (they were already stabled in). Perhaps a memo was passed around after the fatality at Holiday World two days before... or perhaps they wanted to make sure that everyone was stapled in so that they would not get too bored on this heavily breaked and SLOW coaster and try to jump out and race the car back to the station on foot.

This my first wild mouse coaster, and I liked it a good deal more than I expected to. The drop was nothing special, but the turns made me fear that our car was going to fall of the track, as a wild mouse coaster is supposed to. While this may not be the most thrilling ride in the park, its an ideal ride for people too scared to go on any other roller coaster, or for anybody to whom a wild mouse coaster sounds enjoyable.

Its nice to see a Wild Mouse that departs from the usual rectangular footprint. This custom project looks great and uses its plot of land effectively (no space wasted). The ride is good, but not as exciting as the design implies.

Fun ride, and the line moves fairly quick. the drop was fun. definately my favorite wild mouse ride so far. but since it is a wild mouse ride and nothing like the other rides at this park, it gets an 8. but dont skip this ride, its fun for little kids too.
