Wildcat Rocky Springs

Partially built into the slope of a hillside, the Wildcat opened at Rocky Springs Park as one of Pennsylvania's largest and most legendary wood coasters. After a long zig-zag tunnel before the lift, the Wildcat really got down to business with a dramatic first drop of about 85 feet that was unusually steep at 50 degrees. The deep plunge required a sharp pullout that led to another high turnaround that was originally a swoop-turn before it was modified sometime after the original 1928 opening. The high elevation of the station made for a somewhat truncated ride with no energy left for any bunny hops.

The coaster structure stood abandoned for 25 years before it was finally torn down in 1990.
