Manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC), Wildcat’s Revenge is a two-minute, 36 second thrill ride that features a 140-foot hill with an 82-degree plunge. The roller coaster will reach speeds of up to 62 mph along the 3,510-foot track.
Riders will also experience four inversions, including the "world's largest underflip," an inversion that begins with an upward climb, followed by a counterclockwise 270-degree roll and dive down to the side. Guests must be at least 48 inches tall to ride.
Wildcat’s Revenge also features a fully renovated coaster station with a design that harkens back to the 1923 Wild Cat station, which includes low-pitched gables around the roof's perimeter.
