StealthFan Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) One wild ride I have experianced on a wild mouse was on the one Hansa Park on the TPR Scandi trip! To show you how wild it was watch the video below! [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=Crazy_Mine_RiderCam_Craig_Hanno_1_oz6l[/coastertube] I also have some pictures to prove what sort of wild things can happen on the Wild Mouse at Blackpool! Check them out below! This was a wild ride! Edited February 23, 2013 by StealthFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markysharky17 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I to agree that wild adventures is the craziest wild mouse. It's fun scary and I have an all year pass there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 OMG ^^ Chuck I remember this one, the one we rode in 1975 on our first trip to California! I knew there was one - more - coaster we rode on that trip, but couldn't figure it out. Till now. Any other coasters were ones at Magic Mountain, Disney, and Knotts. Thanks! And yes it was a terror to ride. Always felt like we were going to be eventually "dumped" over the side, along the route, lol. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
australianalex Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Pleasure Beach Blackpool's by far. Aussie World's comes second, but even that is no match for the insanity of Blackpool's. I seriously think I severely damaged my spine on that ride lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 They all scare me, but the traveling fair ones with the thin metal rails scare me the most. I swear they are going to fly off the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I actually preferred King Solomon's Mine when it was at Southport Pleasureland a little more than BPB's Wild Mouse. When it comes to steel models, I think Hershey's is a little wilder than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 ^I agree with Hershey's being the wildest steel mouse. Having it higher up helps, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GayCoasterGuy Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Unfortunately I haven't been on any wooden wild mice yet, so I'll vote for Cyclone at Wonderland, TX: I remember being dared to ride it with another adult. Didn't know what the big deal was so I rode it with another adult and thought my leg broke. Check out that helix at the end. Loved it, can't wait to get back.

Randomman295 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I haven't been on very many, but of the ones I have been on, Valleyfair's Mad Mouse was my most intense. The turns are sharp, the bizarre support structure adds a sense of danger to the ride, and it's a flipping Wild Mouse with AIRTIME. It's amazing what a couple of unexpected pops of floater time can do to a rides intensity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G$ Kurt Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I have to say OPA at Mt Olympus. That thing was making noises a ride should never make. Which was surprising given how classy the rest of the place is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oriolat Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Blackpool's Wild Mouse is really wild and the airtime on every drop is just insane. Being held by just a loose seatbelt makes it even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The wildest one I've been on is probably the most hated of the bunch - Dark Knight at SFGAm. Never experienced a ride that ran as crazy as that one did on my visit last July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GayCoasterGuy Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 The wildest one I've been on is probably the most hated of the bunch - Dark Knight at SFGAm. The funny thing about our "most hated" coasters is they usually have a set of their own hard core/love fans. Name it - Grizzly, Vortex, etc... all have die hard fans Never experienced a ride that ran as crazy as that one did on my visit last July. Is true! A wicked little ride in that box.

cal1br3tto Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Modern Mice Arrow Mad Mouses, especially Psycho Mouse at CGA. Seemed to mysteriously provide more airtime than other mice! Modern Miler Mouse (Wild Mouse at Casino Pier; may or may not be defunct): Another notable one for airtime! Classic Mice 1. Far and away, my favorite is the Herschell Monster Mouse (RIP Puyallup Fair mouse). Adorable cars, awkward lap bars, flimsy structure held together by giant safety pins, great turns and some surprisingly violent pops of air! 2. Classic Miler Mice: I've ridden four, two more than currently exist in the US. Fun but uncomfortable cars, rickety structure, dramatic turns, plus a forceful helix to round it all out. I had the most fun on my first, Tree Top Racers. 3. I'm not really a fan, but I have to give a shout-out to the Herschell Mad Mouse, like the one at Joyland in Texas. Unlike its Monster sibling, it's very tame, but it's no less charming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdude Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 From what I've been on, it was a travelling Maurer Sohne Wild Maus Classic that used to be owned by Ray Cammack Shows. The ride operated under the name Wilde Maus and used unique two-seater cars instead of the more common four seat ones. This allowed it to run with no brakes until the end of the ride. Definitely a crazy attraction, and the only wild mouse I've seen with a high height requirement (52" to ride, period). The company owned it from 2000 until the mid-2000s, at which point they traded it in for a Maurer Sohne Compact Spinning Coaster. I believe it is still in operation in Europe somewhere, but I'm not exactly sure where. For permanent installations, I'd say Psycho Mouse (Arrow Mad Mouse) at California's Great America is probably the wildest I've been on. The former Tree Top Racers (Miler Wild Mouse) at Adventure City was pretty good as well. For the remainder, I generally find the Maurer Sohne rides to be a little more intense than the Mack variety, with Zamperla's the worst of all. For the spinning mice, Maurer Sohne is best (only counting the Compact Spinning Coaster model here), followed by Fabbri, and then Zamperla (at least in my experience). I don't consider Maurer Sohne's other spinning coaster models or Gerstlauer's spinning coasters to be wild mouse rides so they are excluded from these rankings.

invisibleinthedark Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I don't know if Windjammer counts as a Wild Mouse, but if it does my vote goes to Windjammer Surf Racers. It was painfully wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
australianalex Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Oh, and for steel wild mice (granted, I haven't been on a whole lot of them) I'd say Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster. The backwards drop always gets me as it feels much larger than it actually is. At the by of the day the trimbreaks are seemingly turned off and it FLIES through the coaster section with ridiculous laterals and even some airtime on a few drops. The darkness makes it feel even faster. Awesome little ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 ^That is a good one, and the dark-ride section is a plus. One of the best little "coasters in a box." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltsu Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I Think Vilda Musen (Grona Lund) is The Crazyiest and Wildest Wild Mouse coaster ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 ^That's because it's a Gerstlauer Bobsled in disguise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bane Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Based on my own experiences up to now, I'd have to say the Wild Mouse at BPB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aceattack52 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 The wild mouse at Hershey Park is probably the best one I have been on. I remember seeing this one on YouTube a while back and looked pretty intense. I believe it's Road Runner at Kentucky Kingdom but I'm not entirely sure. I have not actually been on it, so I couldn't tell you if it was better or worse than the Wild Mouse at Hershey. Maybe someone else could help out with that.

neovortex2k Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Scariest one I've ever been on is in Luna Park Sydney. While you queue it goes over head on a turn and you can see the wheels come off the rail. Image via RCDB Scary stuff but a great view of the bridge and opear house while on a roller coaster.

Noporian Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 this is not really a wild mouse, well it's a mack E-motion coaster which is a mix of a wild mouse and normal coaster. JUST because of the first fall it's horrid, and it really feels you are falling off the edge in the first turns, also because the car banks to the sides.
