Me and my GF were watching this video literally for confirmation/validation of how we felt riding Wildcat. Lo and behold we are IN your video waiting to go on right after you. I am the tall guy with black USC shirt. Can’t believe the coincidence.
When I went on this after the first drop I wasnt screaming or anything I was just thinking in my head get me out of this coaster and I said the same thing when it stopped. Also after I went on it I had a bruise bigger than my hand on my left thigh for over a week
Oh my f****** head.
My neck.
My back. 🎶
hahaha. Was that bad? I thought about bleeping the whole thing 😬😬😬
@@FullTimeCoasterTour my neck my back was a song back in the day. It’s nsfw. 🤣 if i do go to compounce, I’ll ride it last.
@@MrJamieBattle ahh. I gotcha. Shows how much I know huh? 😂
This was the first rollercoaster I’d ever been on, I think it was the early 90s or late 80s when I was a kid, and I never went on a rollercoaster again until the Boulderdash was finished lol
hahaha Was it rough even back then?
@@FullTimeCoasterTour it was rough, but not as rough as it looks like your experience was like!
@@Krista2882 I had a bad day huh? lol
That would actually make me happy. I don't like when the classic coasters aren't good rides. I'm rooting for them to stick around hahaha
Thats how mean streak in cedar point was before the rebuild by RMC. Steel vengeance is amazing.
I never made it on Men streak but you're not the first to tell me that hahaha
We're heading to Cedar Point in August for the first time. We're spending 2 days there to try and do it right. 😄
I can't wait to get on Steel Vengeance and Millennium Force!
GB that's how I feel after most wooden coasters these days. It's your body telling you you're getting old. Just kidding my kids used to love that ride. I did it once and it was enough for me. Can't wait for your review of Boulder Dash. Another rough ride.
You’re gonna love it dude. Hint: someone crapped in the seat. 😂😂😂🤣
But I’d be lying if I told you that thought about getting old didn’t occur to me. 😆
Stop it- we're not old, we're "landmarks"
@@ScientificallyStupid oh landmarks like USS Arizona broken down and rusting or The Alamo crumbling away a mere shell of its former self. Just kidding, lol.
@@gitmobob6266 some days (like today)- absolutely, that type of landmark!
That’s why we have a hero company to come save these old rides it’s called RMC
Went on that last week, there's one part of the ride that literally knocked the wind out of me. Definitely a rough ride.
I think I had the same thing happen to me. I couldn't believe what was happening. lol. I've been on plenty of rough coasters but this one, like you said, can actually knock the wind out of you. That's not fun. 🤷🏼
I think anyone that grew up in western to central CT during the 80s has been on the wildcat multiple times. This was a somewhat popular park for school and camp trips, better than Quassy heh. Was a big treat to get down to Jersey for Great Adventure.
Interesting landmarks when traveling to this park, ESPN and Otis Elevator's drop tower. Though Otis does not offer rides.
I bet. It's a really great park for that sort of thing. bug enough to be a blast. Small enough to keep tabs. We made it over to Quassey just to ride the wooden warrior when we were up there. Fun little coaster but short. That looked like a fun place too but I'd agree LC is clearly in a different class.
I hear "What's everybody talking about" And im like ohhhhh just you wait lmao I go here more than once every week in the summer lmfao
lol. I said the same thing. I thought it was overly dramatic. Then I rode it 😂.
Such a pretty coaster too. 🤷🏼♂
I'm excited for the re-tracking! Still the final three valleys won't be redone yet so they are gonna be a reminder of what the ride was!
My first coaster ❤️ holds a special place in my heart
I get it. I have mine too. The two big one's in my life were torn down, bur Rolling Thunder at SFGAD was extremely rough at the end.
🤷🏼♂️
Same! It also chipped one of my front teeth so I have a permanent reminder
@@corigorneault8966you’re the one that happened to??? I heard about that!!!
It’s probably happened to more than one person lol. It was likely around 95/96 when it happened to me. As far as I remember I kept quiet until we were off and just told my mom. She asked if I was ok, I said yes and we kept on our day.
Rode Wildcat in the back. Got hurt in my back. Boulder Dash was very good in the front. Boulder Dash in the back felt like a fight...I lost.
I liked Boulderdash better in the front too. It wasn't so rough that i didn't enjoy it in the back but I get it. Wildcat on the other hand was miserable for me. I know I'm laughing at the end of the ride in the vid but that's more because I was absolutely blown away with how bad it was. I think I was temporarily deranged or something.
I'm sorry to hear it hurt you. I could absolutely see it doing that.
Stating how old Boulder Dash is, knowing this video is 2 years old. Knowing I rode that as a teen opening weekend, makes me feel old 😂😅
I also still have a chipped front tooth from Wildcat. It was my first ever roller coaster, and I was JUST barely tall enough to ride it. Smacked my face on the front of the car on the first drop.
The last time I was at Lake Compounce was in 2015. I rode the Wildcat and pretty sure I ended up with several bruises on my body from the rough ride 😅at least it's going to get a make-over so it will be a smoother ride.
Not gonna lie, after visiting Great Adventure in 2016, I felt beat up by the end of the day. I am getting old. But this looked like it was punishing to your kids, so it must be a brutal ride.
I wonder sometimes man. Is it the Coaster or is it me? lol
This one have zero question though. Everyone on the ride said the exact same thing. WTF WAS THAT???? hahaha
Went on this yesterday. I legit almost got whiplash, my head really jerked around near the end. Really shakes you around a bunch and makes everything hurt. But, there's nothing else like it in the world
my wife and I rode this in 2008 and ended up leaving the park early because of the "boobal and crotchal distress" this mnonster caused. The next day, her boobal area (lol soirry..I think it's funny. it probably isn't) was bruised from the insane jarring and bouncing. We still ride Boulder, though, bc...what a ride! This one...just ouch.
i live right by lake compounce and have season passes. its so fun
We loved it there. It's an honest to goodness gem!
wish I saw this video earlier! I too love wooden coasters, went on this bad boy yesterday (back seat no less) and OUCH my head still hurts today!
haha. I'm sorry to hear that. It REALLY is bad isnt it? The truth is you would still have gotten on it even after seeing this vid though I'd bet lol
I know I would have 😄
@@FullTimeCoasterTour LOL well, you have to be sure, right?
@@melissapants2402 hahah. indeed we do 😄
This is one of my favourite rides there,, almost higher than Boulder Dash. The back row is the best 😎
hahaha. Different strokes right? I still haven't been on a rougher one since (for me) and we've probably been on a hundred coasters since. I'm glad someone likes it though and I'm sure you're not alone. It's such a beautiful coaster. 😄
It's 1 of the top 3 roughest. 1 and done.
Absolutely. There are others where I think WOW that was rough, but then I remember the hops on this thing. lol. Nothing Ive ridden and Im approaching my 300th has been quite this tough to endure. It's pure torturous perfection 😂😩
The Wild Cat was closed this year for a make-over to make it smoother. Boulder Dash had a make-over as well during the off-season that has made it much smoother.
To quote my friend " wildcat is a once in a lifetime experience, because after the first time you will never ever want to ride it again."
hahaha. Perfectly stated!
Dude - does that ride come with a free Physiotherapy session!! Anyone with back issues is best keeping well away from that baby ;-)
This vid is a public service announcement 😂😂😂
Soooo bad man.
you need to take a ride on the coaster at NYNY las vegas -
hahaha Another gem. I've been and although it was years ago, it didn't touch this one on the roughness scale. That said, they should replace that thing out there lol
I was just there last week and regulars warned me not to get on it because is beyond rough while i was on line for boulder dash which i loved
Those are some good people hahaha
Beyond rough is a great way to describe it. It's just not right!
Boulderdash on the other hand is a masterpiece in my opinion. We LOVED IT!
an employee warned us not to ride it- it was down yesterday but we are passholders so my husband just said, "eventually we'll get there" and the guy was like, "dont do it!"
I rode it today. Woof
Screaming Eagle at Six Flags St. Louis is like this now. Jostles you around like crazy. It's a classic but man, it's hard to like nowadays
that's saad. I rode it when it was in its second year and what a great ride it was. I'll take your word for it and remember it for what it was.
I rode this a few years ago right after it reopened from lots of retracking and all that work did not pay off :(
I was still able to enjoy it though and it looks a lot rougher in this video.
And I remember my first ever ride on it around 7 or 8 years ago being not bad at all... but Boulder Dash though is so many leagues higher it is insane!
it's so disappointing that the park obviously wants to keep the ride around and at a high level, but it just didn't work. We rode maybe 80-100 coasters since this one and it's still the roughest by far sad to say. Such a pretty coaster too.
@@FullTimeCoasterTour Wow that is sad. Yeah the coaster looks great always nice to see right as you walk into the park
@@Blathers It really does. Maybe in a fw more years they will be motivated to re work it a bit/ 🤷🏼♂️
I ride wildcat every day I work I love it and after the new re tracking in this coming season it's gonna be even better, stop complaining it's a woody lol
Went on this a few days ago three times. Once in the front, once in the back, and third row. Third row was he worst and I may invest in an even better roller. Thank you for this because my Mom keeps saying it’s because I’m getting old but I just rode Gemini and Blue Streak last week no problem. And two years ago Ghostrider and Shivering Timber’s felt fine too.
3 times???? lol. I could never have done it. I was seriously hurt after the one ride hahaha
We've been on maybe 20 more woodies since and not one touched how rough this one was. You're not old! I promise 😄
@@FullTimeCoasterTour The first time wasn't awful. I was front seat with the entire train to myself. In retrospect, I think the coaster couldn't get up to speed with just one person and that toned down the roughness. The second time in the back was worse than the first, but the train was still less than half full. The last time in the third row I was in a full train and that was the worse. After that, I refused to ride it again, but on the bright side it made Boulder Dash feel smooth by comparison.
@@ninjagirl226 hahaha It definitely does that doesn't it? Boulderdash is even better after a ride on Wildcat! I'm happy to hear you were able to get a couple rides where it wasn't as bad with the empty trains. You're very lucky. 😄
It was rough for me. I bit my tounge on every drop.
right? This one was worse than rough. It was downright cruel. hahahahaha
yesterday i rode the wildcat and now i have neck pain from bobbling my head back and fourth.
Oh man! That's not good to hear. I think you're not alone. Many people (ME) got off feeling the same way. 😬😬😬
The only thing I can say about Wildcat at Lake Compounce is that I literally don't remember there even being a wooden coaster at Lake Compounce that isn't Boulder Dash.
Theres that lol
2022 ride, this thing was rough. I see it is closed for 2023.
Well, At least they put pads on the seats.
This isn't even as bad as it was back in the day. I rode this in the late 80s as a middle school kid. It was even rougher, it's been slightly "improved."
lol
I can't imagine it being rougher! We just rode the Comet at SFGreat Escape and it reignited my love for woodies.
It's sad that with all the good work they put into this one it is still so bad. My neck and back are finally back to normal 😂
This was my first coaster as a kid...it turned me off of coasters so much i didnt ride another one for years.
it really is THAT bad no matter how old you are.
I totally get it. A bad coaster, especially early in life can absolutely leave a bad taste in your mouth. "why does anyone like these things???" lol
Glad you gave other coasters a shot. There are so many amazing ones out there.
Rule 1 of Wildcat: Never put your hands up while riding Wildcat. I learned that the hard way when my head banged against the rider next to me.
Beautiful Bristol Ct 💀
What a BABY. Obviously never rode on Mean Streak at Cedar Point before they tore it down...
Nope. But I just got on Steel vengeance for the first time this week.
And dude, I've been on almost 100 woodies so far. Nothing comes close to this one for me yet. have you been on it?
@@FullTimeCoasterTour Just watched the POV. Guess I'll have to get back to Cedar Point. I need to ride Millennium Force again anyway.
@@jaimecruz3420 We made that one a priority. Got on that during the 9-10 am extra hour. I loved it. I've now been on 4 of the 7 gigas and while it's hard to beat Fury 325 I think it might be my emotional fave.
We're heading back to Cedar point before we leave this area. Didn't get on Valraven, Corkscrew, Blue Streak and host of other rides that we want to try. So gotta get back. 😄
Go try out Wildcat at lake Compounce and get back to me. 😄
@@FullTimeCoasterTour I was on Wild Cat this past Monday.
@@jaimecruz3420 And you didn't think it was rough? Come on now.
Beautiful and Bristol are two words that should never be paired together.
The one instance where a retracking made a ride worse. Seriously though, Martin & Vleminckx completely ruined this classic Herbert Paul Schmeck design. The park got GCI trains, so why couldn't they do the retracking instead?
Probably before the recent retrack I think the dinn corp messed up the track on the 80’s
@@teddygudelski6814 Yeah, I heard the park sued Dinn for making the ride rough.
Riding in the backs the worst ! I blew my back out riding it
I can imagine. We sat in the front and it almost ruined the rest of my day hahahaha
The back has to be brutal!
@@FullTimeCoasterTour this is one ride that just needs to be rmced it would make a great top two at the the park and I heard the coaster is rough.
Thanks for sacrificing your spine for thoosies everywhere. I want to ride Wildcat, but I don't want to ride Wildcat. Hercules ruined woodies for me in the 90s and I think I'm just fine with that, after watching this.
Yeah Hercules was a rough one I;ve heard. I never made it over there but I wanted to so badly. Maybe it's better that I didn't. hahaha
I would still ride Wildcat if I hadn't yet. Even after watching this vid. lol. I know I would.
📝 bring scaredy-cat cousin on ride when we go
hahaa. You're gonna bring someone who's scared on this one? They might never go on another coaster after that 😂😂😂
@@FullTimeCoasterTour we will go on it and then bolder dash and then phobia (phobia I think I may go alone she will pee her pants) and zoomerang. I mean she’s scared of saw mill plunge. If she goes on those I will go on downtime even though I will pass out
@@honeystaranimates lol. making deals huh? I totally get it. I've tried all sorts o tactics to get my kids on different coasters! I hope you are successful. A lot of the time just overcoming the fear is so powerful. It sounds like you might have your work cut our for you, but I hope you have a magical time at the park!!! 😄😄
@@FullTimeCoasterTour tanks!
@@FullTimeCoasterTour I went on it myself and I felt like I was going to die! I was being slammed around!
Yeah that ride sucks. My daughters LOVE it. My 6 year old went on 10 times in a row. She is 7 now and loves that park. My 10 year old as well, but she more likes the steel jobs
hahaha. Thats so cool to hear though The elasticity of youth I suppose lol.
In truth I really WANTED to love this coaster. It is right up my alley, but it knocked us around pretty good.
Lol I am glad I did not go on this my friend was like come on dude we gotta try this and now seeing this video SHEEEESH that’s rough. I am more of a play land dragon coaster kinda guy
hahaha. Hey, there's a lot to said for those dragon coasters 😉
Well, I'm glad to help affirm your choice not to get on this one. You're back thanks you! 😄
This is in the elite class of coasters I won't ride on reputation alone. I went there just yesterday and Boulder Dash was honestly jackhammering pretty hard, but I still enjoyed it. But I didn't ride Wildcat, once again. Life is short, I'm old, there were plenty of other rides and the chance of this thing hurting me badly enough to ruin my day was just too high.
It was my first ever coaster, I chipped a tooth on it. I was like 6. I also rode Boulder Dash several times at its grand opening. Edit to add. I will ride both again 1 more time, my kids love theme parks. They’ll be our last rides of the day, BD followed by WC.
The back is even worse 😭😭😭
Nah…I grew up in CT and rode this thing god knows how many times. Everyone knew it was a rough rider but we still went on it. The old Riverside Cyclone just over the border in Mass was even more aggressive…but NOTHING prepared me for what I experienced a few years ago at Busch Gardens in Tampa, when we rode that Gwazi thing. That made the Wildcat and Cyclone Town Car rides.
I guess that's why they changed Gwazi to Iron Gwazi huh? lol. I never had an opportunity to get on that one, but this isn't the first time I've heard about it being very rough. Up to this point, Wildcat at lake Compounce is the roughest ride I've ever been on out of the 260 coasters I've ridden.
That looks rougher the great American scream machine at six flags over Georgia
It absolutely is. We made it on that one earlier in the year and while it had some rough spots it was ultimately enjoyable. (sitting up front helps 😉)
This one is SOOO much rougher!
@@FullTimeCoasterTour I rode Scream machine back in March while it was Alittle rough it wasn’t bad but after that turn in your video it made me go heck no
@@wrestlingandamusementparkl7789 lol. I can relate. I actually felt that way after Racer at Kings Island. I got beat up pretty bad in the back.
@@FullTimeCoasterTour rode that to. While it was bad I thought beast was worse
@@wrestlingandamusementparkl7789 Really? Isn't it funny how different coasters can be for each person? lol
WE LOOOOVED Beast! hahaha
Idc I’m still goin on it
As you should. This vid wouldn't stop me either hahaha. It would be great if you could Let me know how your ride was when you do. 😄
I’ll pass. But thanks for the content brother.
Haha. It’s no cyclone man. Built the same year but no where near as good.
and you sat in the FRONT imagine how bad the back is
I don't want to. 😂😂
Those poor people
OUCH!! 🤪🤬😼
Well said hahaha
It's funny that Lake compounce is home to one of the worst and one of the best wooden roller coasters in the world. I finally got my boulder dash credit yesterday amazing ride wildcat was down but I already got that credit so I wasn't planning on getting on it anyway.
Boulderdash is spectacular imo. We loved it. We had a major issue ruin our intended marathoning it at the end of the night though. I made a vid on it if you didn't see it yet. 😳
But yeah I would ride that thing again in a second. Wildcat not so much. lol
In the front, it’s bad! Everywhere else, it’s worse. I’m done with it. I’ll ride Boulderdash and the others instead.
Sounds like a good plan to me. I'm feeling the same way about coasters like this. I'm trying to ride every coaster in the country, but rides like this one or even Vekoma SLC's, Boomerangs like Zoomerang and some other models that always hurt are becoming harder to justify for me. lol
I just had my first "gray out" on Millenium Force at Cedar Point last week too. Maybe I'm wearing down over here hahahah 😩😩😩😩
@@FullTimeCoasterTour I'm here at LC... I've ridden Boulder dash 8 times back to back. Previous time of back to back was 7. She's gotten rough Approaching the first drop, You can feel that it's jittery. Very bumpy. The back is almost unbearable Still an awesome ride. The front was the best/smoothest. Dare I try Wildcat? Lol I just got off 2 rides of Phobia.
A zoomerang/boomerang ? Once You've ridden one.... You know the rest. I'd only ridden one SLC, Riddler's Revenge. I didn't care for it. Definitely one and done.
I rode Phobia 4x....I didn't bother with Wildcat.......went on The Pirate ship, rode Zoomerang and had a blast on Thunder and Lightning along with a ride on The Ferris Wheel. A superb day!! I was going to go on BoulderDash one more time...the line was insane! I was tired and hungry. I'll be back. So grateful this is about 40 minutes from home.
@@J1Z06 What an amazing day Jay!!!!
8x on Boulderdash. I could see that being a bit too much for me. lol
As much as I loved it, it can wear on you. I felt the same way with Mine Blower in Fun Spot Kissimme. So good, but it kicks the heck out of ya..
interestingly All Boomerangs are not the same. I think the best one was at Darien Lake for me. Some are very rough and some are smoother, but it definitely is the same ride. It's a shame that there aren't more giant, inverted Boomerangs. They are good.
I think I might be done with SLC's though. Ive yet to get on one that didn't hurt my neck and head hahaha. I count credits but sometimes it ruins the day so is it worth it? lol
Thanks for the trip report man. I loved it.
I’m so sraed of zoomrang i wanted to go on wild cat i was dzzzzzzie after that😩🥵🥵🥵😰😰🤮🤢😂😂😂😂
hahaha. Yeah it was a toughie. I would still try it though. lol.
@@FullTimeCoasterTour I’m going to try it with my dad next time
@@ghostgamingyt3734 Awesome! just make sure to warn him first 😬😬😬
Probably the reason the coaster is to rough is because of the poor recent retrack and how the dinn corporation rebuilt the coaster and how they could have messed it up
I think you're right. Whatever they did during that retrack didn't work and even made it worse. Such a shame. LC put some good money into keeping the coaster going.
This thing needs to be RMCD badly
The POV doesn't look that bad. I'll be there Friday, let me see.
Update: Wildcat wasn't that bad. I've ridden a lot rougher.
It’s fun because it repeatedly punches you in the gut
Ive talked to a few people that love it because of how rough it is. 🤷🏼♂
To each their own right? All I know is that it knocked me around worse than I thought it could. lol
I wish I would have watched your video before yesterday. I have whiplash that will take days to go away, Not funny
I don't doubt it. This one is truly bad. I couldn't believe what was happening to me. I was holding on so tightly and trying to stop my body from bouncing up and down so aggressively. it was painful.
It's unfortunate because it's a beautiful coaster that they put work into not too long ago. I'm sorry to hear your experience was so painful. 😬
The wildcat at lake compounce was definitely rough. But let me tell you. It was nowhere near as bad as mean streak at Cedar Point that rollercoaster was absolutely horrid.
