Hersheypark Amusement Park will unveil a brand new Wildcat Revenge hybrid coaster this summer, according to a release from the park.
The wood and steel hybrid, one of Hersheypark 15 coasters, will make its debut 100 years after the park's first Wild Cat ride opened.
According to the release, Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) Wildcat Revenge adds an all-new steel track with unique elements to the existing wooden framework.
The hybrid coaster has a 140-foot hill, 62-mph top speeds, and four inversions, including the World's Largest Underflip.
We knew coaster fans would love a hybrid at Hersheypark based on guest feedback, and we're thrilled to work with RMC on a custom wood and steel coaster with a nod to our history," said Vikki Hultquist, General Manager of Attractions at Hersheypark.
"Wildcat's Revenge includes four inversions with the World's Largest Underflip, Inverted Stall, Zero-G Roll, and Reversing Downhill Roll," according to the press release.
Wildcat's Revenge, located in Hersheypark's Midway America region, features a fully renovated coaster station with a design that harkens back to the iconic 1923 Wild Cat station with low-pitched gables around the perimeter of the roof.
Riders begin the 2-minute, 36-second experience by climbing a 140-foot hill, descending an 82-degree drop, and reaching a top speed of 62 miles per hour along 3,510 feet of red track on a black steel and wood structure.
The World Largest Underflip is one of four inversions, beginning with an upward climb, followed by a counterclockwise 270° roll and a dive down towards the side.
Wildcat Revenge will be open for all four seasons beginning in summer 2023, weather permitting.
