Hersheypark has announced that Wildcat's Revenge will be opening on June 2nd! https://stories.hersheypa.com/wildcats-revenge-hybrid-coaster-to-open-june-2-at-hersheypark/ WOOD AND STEEL COASTER FEATURES FOUR INVERSIONS WITH WORLD’S LARGEST UNDERFLIP Hersheypark amusement park today announced that Wildcat’s Revenge hybrid coaster will open to the public on June 2, 2023, as part of a historic summer in The Sweetest Place On The Earth. The wood and steel hybrid will be the first at Hersheypark as part of an impressive 15-coaster collection. With the debut of Wildcat’s Revenge, Pennsylvania’s largest amusement park is now home to the most coasters in the Northeast. Hersheypark will be open daily starting Thursday, May 25, with the 11-acre Boardwalk At Hersheypark water park opening Saturday, May 27. Hersheypark summer tickets include three parks in one featuring 70 rides and thrilling coasters, a full water park and a zoo, with summer getaways and entertainment throughout the destination. UNIQUE HYBRID COASTER EXPERIENCE The first hybrid manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) in Pennsylvania, Wildcat’s Revenge adds an all-new steel track with unique elements to the wooden framework for a one-of-a-kind thrilling ride experience found only at Hersheypark. The debut of Wildcat’s Revenge comes 100 years after the first Wild Cat ride opened at the Park, the first coaster purchased by founder Milton S. Hershey. The 2-minute and 36-second experience begins as riders climb a 140-foot hill, plunge into an 82-degree drop and hit a maximum speed of 62 miles per hour along 3,510 feet of red track on a black steel and wood structure. The pursuit continues as riders stalk their prey through four inversions, including the World’s Largest Underflip, an inversion that begins with an upward climb, followed by a counterclockwise 270° roll and a dive down towards the side. Located in the Midway America region of Hersheypark, Wildcat's Revenge 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 roof's perimeter. Guests of Hershey’s height requirement and taller (48 inches and above) will sit in one of three custom trains, showcasing fully-dimensional black, charcoal and silver wild cats exacting revenge on their wooden predecessor.

Thanks for the report @BitterOldHag. Sounds like they still have a ways to go to be ready for summer operations. As to Millennium's wait time with FL, that's actually kinda standard if the queue was back to the merge point. I've experienced waits like that for the past several years at times, especially if waiting for the front. I've also never experienced "urgency" of any kind by ride ops at Cedar Point (except maybe Steel Vengeance, but they have to do so to make up for the horrible locker situation) since I started park-traveling big time in 2017. Not compared to Kings Island, at least.

So the radio station I was listening to played a soundbite that said, "sorry about your penis." They immediately played Blink-182's All the Small Things. GOT DAYUM.

No, I still think you were overreacting a few weeks ago. I just posted a possible rationale for their decision to add another early entry ride to the lineup; I would have been perfectly fine had it remained just the Boardwalk. We also clearly have different definitions of "beating up," but hey, it's cool.

Glad your under 6ft and skinny, these rides are marketed and made for a certain demographic. I'm proud of my body and no ride will ever change that, keep being sour, I can't change that. I'm not at the best shape, but I can still fit many rides at the park, Batman is the only ride I've had any troubles on. Give a good ride op and good push and I'm good. And I'm just going to say this, this should be a form for the enthusiast, if your not enthused about this park then you should just go and find another form. I'm just telling my current struggles and what I would like to see improved, if your not happy that an enthusiast wants to see the park grow and do better for all than you shouldnt be here commenting.

Never to blame, they are designed keep us safe. But I do say you always got a chip on your shoulder. I just can't wait to see your positive side.

Hopefully it opens up around the 4th of July can imagine that's their target seeing they're usually the busiest days of the year besides fright fest. shame Intamin isn't going to deliver new track pieces(and just like Bill said9, it seems like they're just trying to band-aid the ride back into operation again.
