What would y'all say is the greatest, best, or craziest wild mouse coaster? I personally don't know, but I feel that the older models are best.

I don't know, but the best I have been on so far is the one at Rye Playland.

The Exterminator at Kennywood's the best wild mouse type of coaster around. Not only does it spin, but the theming inside the enclosed setting's great & you'll catch a lot of surprises throughout your journey. Hersheypark's Wild Mouse comes at a close second because it feels really fast & the whole course's completely brake free until the final ending brakes kick in.

Wild Mouse at Black Pleasure Beach. I hope King Solomon's Mine at Southport is moved. Both are wooden mice and are far more intense then steel versions.

Really? I'm bound to agree. Why are most of the vintage mice so great? I guess they happened to make them when nobody was over-using the wild mouse design. Ex: Miler--Drops, Herschell--Turns, Schiff--??? (none left), wooden--everything! I don't seem that interested in the newer models (excluding the spinners), because the drops don't look as intense. The turns are always the same.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach's wooden mouse is nuts. That thing is just vicious.

I've got to say that Ricochet at Carowinds was quite a thrill.

I love Hershey's wildmouse. It's located at a good spot, on a hill. It makes it look much taller then it actually is. It's not too rough but has good speed.

By far my favorite is the Ricochet at Paramount King's Dominion because of the 50ft first drop, by far taller than any other drop on a wild mouse coaster I have experienced. Once I ride a spinning wild mouse coaster my opinion may change.

The Wildcat at Cedar Point. I always ride it at least once when I visit the park - it's a bit faster than you'd imagine, and it has a sort of out-of-control feeling that no other mouse coaster has. The Exterminator at Kennywood is notable for its great theming though.

I really don't think Wildcat is a mouse coaster, as it doesn't have any of those hairpin-like turns. It has the drops and secondary turns, but no elevated hairpin turns.

Hershey for the setting, because it's up on the hill you seam really high and the break runs are almost always off.

Kennywood I think is in a whole different class, because it is enclosed and spinning, so as for a enclosed spinning mouse, Kennywood is the best for it's theming.

And as for just a plan spinning mouse, defiantly, Pandemonium at SFNE, it starts out with the hair pin turns, then 2 helixes and lastly an attempt at some air time hills, which the last one does give you a nice pop of air.

Oh and Wildcat is one of only a few Schwarzkopf wild cat 65 meter designs running today. Schwarzkopf never made any Wild Mice, therefore it's just a regular old roller coaster, although it could me mistaken for a Wild Mouse. But I think the name just tells you it's not a "Wild Mouse" Haha.

The Exterminator at Kennywood is my favorite mouse coaster. I love the special effects and theming and being in the dark adds to the ride experience.

The wild mouse that I like the most is Exterminator at Kennywood. I also enjoyed the spinning mouse at Seabreeze a lot. I don't enjoy the regular wild mice coasters very much, but I like the spinning mice a lot more.

The best mouse that I've ridden is Twist & Shout at Magic Springs. I have ridden the mouse at Hershey and the one at PKD. Twist & Shout, however, seemed much crazier and faster. It was rough, but in a good way, and that's what I think wild should be. Other mouses I have ridden seem to slow. This thing flew.
