@@TP_Recommendations You should do a meetup at Hershey Park for Wildcat's Revenge opening :)

I'm going to say it again: what Hersheypark needs now is some kind of transportation ride to get back there! They should revive the old gondola skyride that used to go back to the old Minetown area from the front of the park. The ideal would be a triangular route, kind of like what Busch Gardens Williamsburg has: Chocolatetown to Kissing Tower Hill to Midway America and/or the waterpark. (Actually, if it's one way it might be better to take that in the reverse direction, to counter the natural flow of foot traffic.) It'd help even out the flow of visitors over the course of the day. These kinds of rides are also fairly high-capacity and take a while to ride, so they relieve pressure on other rides.

There's actually 3 coasters in PA that use " revenge"..... phantoms revenge, hydra the revenge, and now wildcats, revenge! Only at the states 3 biggest parks

Truss lifts on RMCs are awesome!

As for Wildcat's Revenge itself, I think it looks great. As someone whose favorite coaster is Wicked Cyclone, I think 140 feet for an RMC conversion is not a problem! My personal guess for the name was that they were just going to call it Wildcat again (or maybe WildKat), as a nod to history--I suppose this is pretty close.

A Trussed lift hill? They’ve finally found a use for her.

I’m super excited to ride this…thank you Hershey for exclusive ride times for Season Pass holders ❤

I think that the reason they made this 140 ft is to connect younger thrill-seekers with a larger coaster. Some of Hersheyparks smaller roller coasters like Fahrenheit or Great Bear, may be daunting for younger people because of the feet dangling or the vertical lift. Wildcat’s Revenge will really be good for introducing multiple inversions and airtime without being to intimidating for younger riders.

It looks like if RMC had converted Texas Giant in 2015 instead of 2011. I'm excited. I think this will really add a lot to a park that already has so much to offer. After this the only thing I'd add to improve the park in a major way would be better entertainment and shows. But they have the rides pretty well covered, not to mention a great water park, good food and a pretty cool little zoo.

Great video. The OG Montezoomas Revenge is my favorite coaster with Revenge in the title. Although they've changed the name now at knotts For when it reopens.

The pacing is going to be insane I feel like.

Super excited now!! Looks like I'll be buying a season pass again! Lol

Loved the name Wildcat so keeping it in the form of Wildcat's Revenge is something I very much appreciate.

I really love the front of the trains

I was kinda disappointed at first but I have returned back to being extremely hype for this ride!!

Hersheypark is now in that upper tier of parks that includes Cedar Point, Kings Island, Six Flags Magic Mountain, and Six Flags Great Adventure. People for years have compared CP and SFMM, but I immediately interject that you need to include SFGAdv in the conversation. KI is now up there after floundering at mid-tier status for a while, but now Hersheypark has inserted itself into the upper tier. Hershey has become a must visit now - well rounded collection with Fahrenheit, Storm Runner, Great Bear, Skyrush, Candymonium, Lightning Racer, and now Wildcat's Revenge.

The Predator wouldve been a better name but Ig Hershey doesn't want an inappropriate type of name ig.

Wow 3 train operations will be great and glad Hershey opted to spend extra money on the extra train and unload station.

Thanks Brandon 😃 Name is perfect 😍 gonna boost HP wa above KI, for sure 🤣

I haven't really been to a lot of parks, but Hersheypark definitely has one of the best coaster line ups if not the best.

I 100% agree with your cons

I love Hershey Parks and rode Wildcat (after I took an Aleve) and loved it. The line up of coasters at this park is AWESOME!!! Will be there 2023🎢🎢🎢🎢🎢

This is definitely going to put Hershey with the best coaster line up. The wife and I are heading your way this weekend to finally ride Fury325 maybe see you at Carowinds

This made my day when I saw Hersheypark made the official announcement. The colors are absolutely perfect and I think the name is perfect too because wild cat the right itself is getting revenge of getting a second or third chance of life but in a completely different way.

Are they comparable if so or if not can you please explain in greater detail? In addition to that who will be the star attraction in the park?

i don’t think they really had enough room to really make it taller, but i think it will be more intense then we think.

As much as I wanted a candy theme for the name, Wildcat's Revenge is just badass and I love how it continues to pay homage to the 1923 Wildcat, which was HersheyPark's first roller coaster ever. (And the RMC would open on what would be that coaster's 100-year anniversary?!?!) I did predict that they would want to move the lift hill and therefore go for the truss. 😜 I'm rather pleased at how much track they're adding. The biggest disappointment for me would be a very short ride duration, so 62 MPH (rather than 70 or 80) might help that. Now I can't wait for the POV!

I agree the height is a little... underwhelming ... But im still excited for a RMC to finally hit HP.

The kiddo and I plan on making the 6 hour drive next season to get a ride on this.

I wonder if they went 140 ft for either cost savings since they just bought a B&M or 170 might not have Aligned within the old Wildcat plot and it would be faster to reuse Wildcat footers. Probably the reason the video was Delayed was to get hyped for season passes and to See where RMC scheduled is before we get a Iron Gwazi SBO or pulling a Six Flags Westcoast Racers

Yes love it it be way more better

It will ABSOLUTELY be better than Magic Mountain!!! I am from So. Cal and Magic Mountain is my second favorite park. Second to Cedar Point. I am so excited to be moving to Maryland in the coming weeks. I will be a few hours away from Hersheypark and can’t wait to experience this ride and all the others in their lineup.

I’ve heard rumors from ride ops that Wildcats revenge was supposed to be 165 ft but the township didn’t let them for some reason. I mean it makes sense because derry township has always been really hard on Hershey. It sucks but hey it’s still an RMC

I don’t think size matters. One of my favorite coasters ever is Twisted Timbers and it’s only 111ft tall! Even though Wildcat’s Revenge won’t break any records, it looks sick and could easily be in my top 10.

North section used to get alot of people during summer months since boardwalk but yeah after it closes for the season it does get pretty dead

Construction has already started!

I believe that Hershey Park, which is only 90 minutes away from me, has the more unique roller coasters out there for a line up, all different, and to be honest, I really Love Great Bear, great little invert. They do need to move the crowds, so I agree with unloading station, some parks need to do that more.

3 train ops could have been done in current station. Station load, brake run outside, stop block on storage shed transfer track. I think we will see just one station load and unload.

I think that if theyre going to have a trussed lift hill then they should have a 90 degree or steeper drop

In terms of overall RMC's- I've been on all of them in the US other than Jersey Devil, and I think best case this could challenge Twisted Timbers as the best of the small RMC's. I still think it will be good enough to be in the Twisted Colossus, Iron Rattler, Storm Chaser range. In terms of the parks, I think Cedar Point is slightly #1 but HP and SFMM are 1A & 1B. It is real close between these 3 parks. Once CP replaces Dragster I think that will be enough to push it to be the clear #1.

Variety wise, I feel HP has the best Coaster lineup. But would put it a notch below MM and CP overall because of less intense coasters on average

Best coaster parks are (in no part order): Sfgadv, MM, Cp, KI, BGW, Hershey. The clones detract from the Six Flags parks a ton imo. But I think CP and KI are each missing 1-2 coasters to be the best. For me though I enjoy overall the coasters at Hershey/BGW the most. And while I don’t care for RMC this was a needed redo as Wildcat was painful for a while. I wish they had went the Gci titan track route though. And KI doesn’t have a stand out coaster, that’s a bold statement a lot of ppl will disagree with. However I think their biggest gap is a ride like Maverick or abyssus. Man if they’d have Vekoma create a massive looper (in the vortex plot) starting with a lift hill and then a couple of inversions, then go into a launch track into a huge top hat (where the batwing used to be) then a lot of airtime hills and transitions; that would get ppl talking.

I agree that Kings Island doesn't have a true #1 coaster. SFGrAdv has El Toro, SFMM has X2 & Twisted Colossus, BGW has Pantheon, and I have a feeling that 2024/2025 project could be huge, HP has SkyRush and the new RMC., but CP has Steel Vengeance, Maverick, Magnum, and I guess Milly that you could count as a #1. KI has more clones than SFMM. At least the 2 clones at SFMM (WW and Batman) are both really good, KI has Backlot which is a family coaster, and Invertigo which isn't good. Kings Island needs a true #1 coaster. Mystic is a great #2 or maybe a 1A coaster, but it lacks the standout the other parks on the list have. Operationally Kings Island is great but the strength of their coaster line-up is drastically overrated in the community.

i guess this ride will be #2 in the park behind skyrush, I just dont think it'll be better than it, but who knows it totally could be. Before this ride, I'd always thought hersheys lineup was top 3, behind sfmm and cp, I've never been to sfmm, but even with hersheys new rmc, I still think sfmm looks a bit better in terms of coasters because they just have so many.

Lineups: 1. Cedar point 2. Kings island 3. Magic mountain 4. Bgardens Tampa 5. Hershey park (Bgardens Williamsburg might jump into too 5 depend on 2024 announcement)

Twisted Twissler would be a better name and fit with Hershey although that name is really close to Twisted Timbers.

2:23 *cries in Hydra the Revenge* As far as if Hershey is better than Magic Mountain now, I still think MM has a better coaster collection. X2 is a one of a kind (in North America at least, the world if there's a significant difference between Arrow and S&S 4D coasters), West Coast Racers is honestly one of my favorite rides and I don't get all the hate for it. Tatsu is a top tier flying coaster, the best one I've been on by a long shot. Apocalypse is a pretty good GCI, not one of the best, but still a fun ride. Plus their clones are only clones of good coasters (Batman and Medusa/Scream), not a Vekoma Boomerang.

they should have gone with Wild Kit Kat. lots of revenge going on in Pennsylvania

I wouldn't put Hersheypark's coaster line up anywhere the top three - possibly not even in the top 10.
