MartinU Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Does anyone know where the steel for Wildcat's Revenge is being fabricated? Does RMC fabricate everything in Idaho and ship it to the site? I live in western Maryland and could guarantee I saw 3 pieces of WR track headed east on I-68. I got really excited and my wife just looked at me like I was crazy. We were headed west, so I could not get a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its made in Idaho and yes you are crazy for being really excited about coaster track sitting on a truck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The username Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Anyone have an idea of when WR is going to open? Right now planning a trip for mid July and wanted to make sure it's going to operating by then. First time back at Hershey since 2006! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Since 2018, they have been opening new rides around Memorial Day weekend. The exception being Candymonium with the park not opening until the end of June/beginning of July that year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 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. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulfdog Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 My family and I will be heading to Hershey either June 22nd or 23rd. None of us have ever been so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Is Fast Track mandatory if we only have one day and likely won't be returning in the next five years? Is the all day dining deal worth $38? Thanks!

AmyUD06 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 You shouldn't need Fast Track on a Thursday/Friday unless you plan on doing the waterpark, which is woefully small for the demand it gets. Budget for it in case crowds are more than anticipated, though. I would definitely go on Thursday. Also, don't forget about Preview Night - with your tickets, you can get in to the park 2 hours before close on the night before your main day at the park. That is a good time to knock some things out. Either way, Fast Track or not, go to Fahrenheit first, then Wild Mouse, the Laff Track, then Wildcat. The first three have awful capacity and the third is the new hotness so will obviously be in demand (and possibly have some kinks still being worked out). If you or the family are fans of shooting dark rides, I'd also work Reese's Cupfusion somewhere in there early as well....its supposedly one of the better examples of the genre, but I've personally never seen the big deal. Also, the Chocolate World ride located outside the main gate opens an hour (maybe 2?) before the main park, so that's a good time to knock it out if you're interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tndank Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Just for future reference, your preview night does not have to be the night before your visit. Might help someone in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people probably assume "before" means the literal night before. In reality, it's one entry on any night during preview hours before you use it during normal operations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Budget for the Fast Track. If you're a once every five years visit, you've never been before, and you want to ride all the coasters and rides and maybe get some re-rides on the better stuff it's worth it. They have a lot of low capacity coasters (for a park/coaster of that size) and I think it's worth it. I'm not usually a fan of the 'all day dining' deals as they limit what you can get and I'm picky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
