Hersheypark closed Wildcat on July 31, 2022, so the roller coaster could be redesigned into a new ride for the 2023 season. Borrowing its name from Hersheypark's first roller coaster, Wildcat was a twister-style wooden coaster designed by Clair Hain and Mike Boodley. Standing 106 feet tall, this 3,183-foot-long wooden coaster had a twisted layout with crossovers and spiraling helices.
