New topic: Wildcat

The cars are designed to have working lights and taillights. Some do sometimes, I believe they are powered through the track.

I don't know much about their history, but they do not work anymore. My assumption is that they let them wear out and removed them. Sadly, this has been the fate of a number of interesting things around the park. I think it would be cool to get them working again.

I always thought those lights were suppose to be operational... but I wasn't quite sure...

Since PCW is my home park, i've ridden The Fly many times, and also have ridden a bunch of older mouse coasters. Not Wildcat at CP though. I think the old and new ones are equally as fun, with a few exceptions.

the only prob. i have with wildcat (even though i love the ride) is the braking at the end... however one could say that it makes for an intresting finish!

Or you could say that's one of the most fun parts of the ride. Everyone knows to hold on to the handle at the end!! :)

I love the WildCat! Even though I love the bigger coasters, I still go on this ride every time I visit!

If you love lateral G's, which I do, then Wildcat is about the only ride in the park that is a decent twister. Wildcat is actually one of my top favorite rides at Cedar Point, just behind TTD and Magnum. It seems to alway keep you on your toes with quick changes in direction. It is also pretty fun to see how much weight you can pack into one car to get that extra bit of speed.

I never really rode this ride much until the 2006 season and i thought why have i not rode this that much. Its a fun little ride and my fiance is pretty big on it.

This is just one of those rides that you HAVE to ride at least once every visit to CP. If everything else has a long wait, chances are this is going to be the ride that moves the fastest.

That would be neat to see working head and tail lights.
