One of several wooden coasters at Hersheypark, Wildcat was installed in 1996 at a cost of $5 million. Originally criticized for offering a rough experience, it has since been outfitted with Millenium Flyer trains that offered a less painful ride around its 3,183-foot circuit.  However, there are still issues with a rough ride and it has been announced that the ride will close on July 31st 2022.
