Hersheypark announced a new hybrid coaster, Wildcat's Revenge, that is coming to the theme park to replace the all-wood Wildcat ride.
The Wildcat roller coaster has been closed since July 2022, and according to a press release, the new ride will be opening up at Hersheypark in the summer of 2023.
It is being manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) and will have a 140-foot hill, max speeds of 62 miles per hour and four inversions, which includes the world's largest underflip.
Wildcat's Revenge will join a large list of thrill rides already at the park like Skyrush, Fahrenheit and Great Bear.
