This wooden coaster, designed by Aurel Vaszin and Edward Leis and built by the National Amusement Device Company, was originally located at Fairyland Park in Kansas City. After standing, but not operating for 13 years the Wildcat was relocated to Frontier City. Wildcat has an "out and back" layout with a steel support structure. The lift hill stands 75-feet tall and this 2,653-foot long roller coaster begins with a 65-foot drop that accelerates the train to 50 mph.
