Pennsylvania’s Hersheypark has revealed the opening date for its 15th coaster - the Rocky Mountain Construction-manufactured Wildcat’s Revenge.
Officially opening to the public on June 2nd, the ride is a converted hybrid wood and steel coaster that will reach speeds of up to 62mph (100kmph), with four inversions and an 82 degree drop from 140ft (42.7m) in the air.
Wildcat’s Revenge will feature the world's largest underflip inversion, which Hersheypark says will ascend upwards before the train twists counterclockwise into a 270-degree roll before descending. The ride will run over 3,510ft (1,070m) of track, with one ride taking two minutes and 36 seconds.
The ride’s trains were unveiled at the 2022 IAAPA Expo in Orlando, Florida. The trains featured a wildcat bursting out of the front of the ride, with black, charcoal and silver colouring. Wildcat’s Revenge replaces the GCI-manufactured Wildcat, which closed in July last year after 25 years of operation.
