I remember not too long ago this would have been a definite 10/10. RMC have quite literally changed the scale. Well... everyone else is making bangers too, so I guess it's just a really good time to like Roller Coasters.
Back when RMC was just getting started, everything was a 10/10. Now that their rides just keep getting better and better, the standard has been set so high that it would feel wrong giving every RMC a perfect score!
@@CoasterStudios I can definitely see that. Now that I just rode my second RMC, steel vengeance, I think wicked cyclone, , my first RMC, is still a 10/10. But, as I ride more RMCs, the older ones that I already rode might start to drop for me which is fine.
Hershey Park's rollercoaster collection is so good for no reason
They don't miss with their coasters
Oddly if you look at its history the coasters broke a lot of new grond.
SooperDooperLooper: First Looping Coaster on the East Coast.
Sidewinder: First Boomerang to use Vekoma trains over ones made by Arrow.
Great Bear: First invert coaster in PA.
Lightning Racer: First Wooden Racing and Dueling coaster.
Stormrunner: First accelerator coaster with inversions.
"First Wooden Racing and Dueling coaster. "
In the US, maybe? CCI's Stampida at PortAventura is 3 years older (I think it might have been the direct inspiration for Lightning Racer though it's shorter), and I'm not sure if that was the first one either.
@@MattMcIrvin Stampida is just a racing coaster as the tracks stay side by side. Lightning Racer has the side by side racing elements but also dueling elements where the tracks and trains separate and perform near miss fly-bys of each other.
@@SupermarketSweep777yes sure the first invert in pa and the boomerang thing are truly breaking and huge events in the coaster history 😂😂😂
Unfortunately I didn't get to experience the racing moment on Lightning Racer at Hersheypark because they were only running two trains on the same track. 😪
Wow, Hersheypark actually just went from an A-tier to an S-tier park in terms of their coaster collection. Very impressive.
They were really good before it too lol….
Skyrush, Fahrenheit, Storm Runner, Candymonium, Great Bear, Lightning Racer, etc.
But yeah, this really took it to that next level. My local park just keeps on getting better
@@hamzawaheed3343 Hence why I said A to S. An RMC is really all they were missing
I'm not familiar with the Tier Lists of amusement parks, what does the A in A-Tier stand for? and S in S-tier?
@@andyg4929 That’s just regular tier list language. S is usually the highest tier and then you start with A as the second tier, B as the third highest and so on
Not that they’ll spend the money but they could use a giga coaster and that’s about it, or redoing the Comet it’s becoming too rough to ride
I rode this the last two days with my dad. Twice in the front, 3 times in the back. Once again, RMC did a phenomenal job with this one. It was loads of fun and it was GLASS SMOOTH!
wildcats revenge was such a perfect name for this😭 it went from being called the worst, it got its revenge and became one of the best
No
I'm an operator on this ride, and I also have no idea what the strap is for. It's not for us, since it's too close to the hinge of the restraint. It would be like closing a door by pushing on the hinges. Also, during our training we're explicitly told to not pull on it to check. I think management asked for it and rmc was like "okay, i guess". My guess is that it's for comfort for the guests because I think it is a nicer and more comfortable grab bar than the two joysticks. I wish we had one of the straps on the side like other rmcs because with how heavy these restraints are and how rigid they are where we pull too, it sucks to check restraints.
Crazy to think how Pennsylvania already has one of the best coaster lineups of any US state, and this is their first RMC. Also, I think this addition makes HersheyPark’s coaster lineup one of the strongest in the world, and I mean they’re definitely challenging Kings Island & Cedar Point for sure.
bring back coaster parodies 🔥
*park battles😂
@@noahkessler5500both
There’s not much relevent big coasters coming to America like orion but there’ll probably be a parody when knotts get’s it’s big coaster
@@staringcorgi6475 bro you cant tell me that you DONT want a iron gwazi parody (its at my home park lol)
@@owen24165 i forgot my bad
I LOVED THIS COASTER! I had the best time on this ride. You hit the best points on this coaster! The airtime hill is STELLAR! Absolutely an amazing layout! Great video!
Just rode it today and lemme say it’s like a mini iron gwazi, back row is 100% way to go. Great airtime and the underflip is great. Drop is good to for a sub 200ft coaster. I would put it top 2 at Hershey with skyrush and my second favorite RMC behind iron gwazi
ive been on this coaster about a year ago, and i loved it. i rode it during the afternoon and it was hauling. the airtime and laterals were super powerful.
Hershey Park is just incredible. Wild Cat's Revenge is another solid addition to a great coaster lineup. I was lucky enough to ride it last weekend and it didn't disappoint! I would say Skyrush is still my overall favorite roller coaster but Wild Cat's Revenge is very close. As both a coaster fan and father of 2 young kids I can't praise Hershey Park enough. It's has awesome rides for everyone. My 3 y/o loves Trailblazer and my 9 y/o went on Great Bear, Comet and did multiple rides on Lightning Racer. I can't wait to go back.
So excited! I planned a trip to Hershey park this summer before they announced the ride and I couldn’t be more excited to ride!!! I’ve only ridden steel vengeance and Goliath at great America so I’m excited to see how this compares to those two!!
Just opened RUclips in time! 🎉
This review is very helpful. Thank you 😊
“The theme is that it’s the old ride but a lot better now” Man that was so funny
Just hit Hershey this past weekend first time since as a little kid...because of lines, didn't get to go on everything, but that leaves the rest for next time I go, which will be when their next coaster opens...of the ones I DID ride, Wildcat's Revenge was my fave, only my second RMC (first was Wicked Cyclone), and this kicked WC's butt...will do this thing everytime I go...the whole Hershey experience is massive, went for 2 1/2 days and you need almost a week to see everything...and my top 3 I did ride...Wildcat #1, Skyrush #2 & Candymonium #3...that thing was like a better Nitro...love this place & the park was like a great mix of the current & nostalgic...
Rode this today with my son, and we agree (mostly)... he's a "Hershey" so can't do the biggest/baddest coasters, but this was definitely his favorite of what he could ride... I will say though, as someone who is 6' tall, I found the leg restraint painful, I had to pull my heels back & up as far as I could to take pressure off the front of my shins, and I still had a bruise there by the end of the ride
The only other RMC hybrid I've been on is Wicked Cyclone at my home park, SFNE. I feel like Wicked Cyclone is an absolutely aggressive barrage of elements where every second some new sensation is thrown at you. You don't have a second to breath or to take it in. Where at wildcats revenge feels like it has the same amount of elements, just stretched out a little more, and made to feel less forceful. Overall I personally like WC more that WR, but I still love WR
Bruv Wicked Cyclone doesn't even have a pre-lift section!! Spotted the BABA BOOEY
Rode it this summer definitely agree with all points made and though I would absolutely recommend it
I riden Wildcats Revenge at Hersheypark just a couple of days ago and I will give that ride a 10 out of 10 because it is a solid RMC Coaster and if you ride in the back seat you get whipped into every element very quickly! 🙂
I had the opportunity to ride Wildcat three times this past weekend....FUN!...I completely agree with the review. I do, however, want to add that my third ride took place in the very late afternoon and there was a noticeable difference in speed. It was a warm day and it seemed to be flying on my last ride. The seat belt buckles are actually hard plastic!...first time I've seen that.
If this were a little taller and steeper (and faster)...would be very comparable to SteVe and Gwazi.
Going to Atlanta next month and looking forward to Arie!
Just rode this thing four times this weekend including in the pitch dark for Halloween nights. After Velocicoaster, this is my favorite. Love that glass smoothness as i have to be very careful about rattly coasters these days. Had 4 disappointing rattly rides on Candymonium (every single train) and cannot figure out how it could have changed so much in just a year. Last year at this time is was so smooth I did it 8 times in a row. Could never have done that this year. It isn't even an old coaster so this was extremely disappointing. Thank goodness wildcat more than made up for it.
I’m goin to Hershey in July and this is the first ride I’m gonna get on, I’m so excited
i have only rode Twisted Timbers so i must Ride this and any other RMC
Rode wildcat revenge today and it was a badazz ride i give RMC much respect as usual lol BTW skyrush new restraints are very well made my top 5 coasters in random order so far is El toro , steel vengeance , wildcat revenge , fury 325 , and intimidator 305 skyrush did not make my list because after the first drop the coaster is pretty dull
i used the bull riding grip to make me feel like i was riding a roscoe irl
Something interesting to note-they allow you to keep your stuff if you have zipper pockets. I didn't realize this until I was there opening weekend. That is not the case with the cedar fair rmc's
My new #1!
To anyone living in this area, be careful with the wildfire smoke!
- Hersheypark Ride Operator
The lack of long lines yesterday far outweighed my worry for the smoke. This morning was pretty bad though
Wish this ride was longer
Candymonium is a amazing B&M Hyper coaster and Wildcat is a great RMC
Hershey officially has the best coaster line up in the northeast 🙌🏻
I’m so excited going back on Columbus Day weekend on Saturday for dark nights in October and I might j ride Wildcats revenge the whole time lol
Wicked awesome pacing, the double down is sooo good, was looking forward to that every time after the first ride. My wonder was why the ride ops were not letting folks bring their lap bars down. Really seemed to slow down load times
They treat the lap bars on Steal Vengeance at Cedar Point the same way. I believe it's because the ops are required to visually inspect the seatbelts and pull down the lapbars themselves, for whatever reason lol. Really slows down the load times, especially if a guest pulls the lapbar down on their own. Then the ops have to tell the person in the control room which seat to release and recheck the restraints
I haven’t ridden this yet, but it does remind me of a mini Iron Gwazi. Looks amazing 👏👏👏
Wildcats revenge is a BEAST. I rode Wildcat and it was TERRIBLE. It was so painful. Me and my friends celebrated when we heard it was getting the RMC treatment. Wildcats Revenge is so good. So fast, so whippy, and just so powerful. I’d say it’s my second favorite after candymonium. When I went the line was pretty short so it was a walk on, and I would’ve riden it again and again if it hadn’t shaken my head up and made me feel pretty dizzy 😂 definitely need a short break after riding this (I did get to ride it 3 times)
I look forward to riding this! I guess I will give Skyrush another chance. My first time riding it was brutal and painful!
They should add another block right outside unload so if the train stacks it is like half in the final brakes and they can have some crazy multi move
I need to go back to Hersheypark!
Another RMC woohooo :D.
Damn, I worked right across from HP until I had to switch down to Texas. Would have loved to marathon this.
7:16 Look how much the support structure moves to the left while the train passes by.
At 4:29 you should’ve included ElToroRyan’s blockzone explanation. 😂
Hot take: out of the RMCs I have been on: Iron Gwazi, Twisted Cyclone, Wicked Cyclone, and Iron Rattler, this is the best one.
I’ve been wanting to go to hershey park for awhile now I have to
I can't wait for Wildcat 4
Wildcat and Knuckles
Truly my only complaint about Hershey Park in general is size. The natures of the rides there are all excellent, but they just feel like scaled-down counterparts to their full-sized versions elsewhere. Everything feels just a little too short and just a little too small.
At this moment, What do you like better about arieforce1? I was curious what your explanation would be. Thanks for the review!
I think ArieForce One has more and stronger 'wow' moments.
Didn’t wake up ready for the joker slander today 😭
Can the load platform also double as a load/unload platform on quieter days? Sort of like Taron's station?
I dont believe so
Good question. I was thinking about that as well as Hershey typically allows unlimited re-rides if there is no one in queue but in this case -- I don't know if that will be possible.
I am acually one of those people who didn’t mind the ending of arie force so I will probably like that I’ve this but this look is incredible though
Great review. But Joker needs a new review. It's criminally underrated over here.
Are they doing metal detectors in the queue?
No
My son got 7 rides on it at cocoacon
finally I can stop stalking this page like a madwomen!!
This is better then Arie Force one
Are fannypacks allowed?
almost as good as talon at dorney park.
First (reply of this comment)
@@bryantoliveira2813 second. Also, is it just me or did RUclips add random numbers to people's usernames all of a sudden. I don't like it!
It's better than Skyrush. Great coaster in my opinion
nice vid
1:14 is it supposed to move like that!?
yes. swaying is 100% necessary. if it doesn’t sway, too much stress can be put on the track and it can collapse
@@triplereeds Swaying is necessary, of course. I guess I just never appreciated HOW MUCH swaying is necessary. I grew up hearing "The Sears Tower can sway 6 inches", but compared to the whole skyscraper that doesn't seem like much. This is a lot. But a roller coaster is vastly different from a skyscraper, so that's probably why it looked crazy to me.
@@christopherarchuleta3669 look at a video of the rattler (six flags fiesta texas. before rmc.) that is too much sway
Coaster parody velocicoaster and iron gwazi
When is Europe?
I still like skyrush more but it’s my new #2
I got the pleasure of getting stuck at the top of the lift hill 😂.
me and my friends were on that lmaooo😭
I fear those laterals are going to hurt as I'm someone who HATES most laterals
If you don’t know what to expect yes you have to be prepared
starting to get a lil burnt out on rmc
How does the intensity of wildcats revenge compare to the intensity of skyrush?
WR’s intensity is sustained over a longer period of time, while skyrush’s is primarily during the first half
Sky rush is def more intense but revenge is intense over more time
Arie force 1 looks better
Am i the only person that thought tge name twizzler woulda been the perfect name
Is it me or does that look way taller than 140ft?
I want Wildcat back😭
For me Wildcats revenge is #2 Farenheit is #3 and skyrush is #! candymonium is. 3$
Bruh what
$1 is candymonium*
The only thing that sucks about this ride is the rude workers that won’t let you go to the row you want
Depends on what ops are working I’ve been on it where they made you go to said row but I’ve also seen them ask where you want to sit and even seen them not have an op guiding anyone and that was chaotic cuz everyone wanted the front..
Really? I got to choose my row lol
@@S.J.C._Entertainment They eased up on it now I believe. I’ve got 14 rides so far and 80% of them I chose my row
@@GriddleMeThis dang nice.
👌😎🎢
Even if AF1s elements are better. That thing is actually bad looking.
It’s a shame this coaster has such boring shirts
You’re reviewing this after only 1 ride?
Since that original video was filmed we were able to get a second ride on the coaster, so we could experience the front and the back!
i dont understand the hype behind this ride. if anything it looks as low as jokers sister.
Hershey Park has such a perfect line-up. It has a good launched coaster in Stormrunner, a good floater machine in Candymonium, an intense ride in Skyrush, an invert in Great Bear, a woodie in Lightning Racer, and now an ejector machine in Wildcat's Revenge. Even if none of these coasters are the best in their respective categories, they're all still pretty good and the fact that Hershey has at least one of those archetypes, is amazing.
Sky rush is a top 5 rollercoaster in the world but intimidator 305 has its number unfortunately 😢
no way top 5 unless you only been to hershey
And you got the classic Comet and inversion crazy Fahrenheit. Top 3 lineup for sure
@@DreamofThrills it literally is top 5 in the world, search up any top 100 rollercoasters in the world and 90% of the videos will have skyrush top 5
Also a good classic woodie and laugh track is a fun coaster too
Hershey Park a top tier park now for sure. and there's still more room to grow with the land they purchased for the new entrance and Candymonium
As somebody who prefers Intamin's over B&M's in almost every instance, I was completely blown away by Candymonium's airtime and speed. I thought it would pale in comparison to Stormrunner, Skyrush and Fahrenheit from an intensity standpoint but the airtime and speed was awesome. Throw an amazing RMC into the mix... S tier park for sure. Can't wait to ride Wildcat's Revenge! Hershey quickly overtook SF Great Adventure as my "home" park
Hersheypark has been a top tier park for years
@@jcspotter7322 Hershey has been a great park for years, absolutely. But top tier? I don't know. Having to lap Sky/Storm/Fahrenheit/Great Bear was getting old and thus why I would go to SF GA for the bigger lineup. In the last two years we got an awesome B&M hyper and an excellent (I'm assuming) RMC. TWO YEARS! Most Cedar Fair and Six Flags parks never get that kind of love. Hershey went from A tier to S tier is all I'm saying
Having just gone to Hershey, this park blows 6FGA away & is up there with Cedar Point & Kings Island...it's huge and has tons of open space still...they can build and build and build some more...next time I go back will be when their next coaster opens...
Its the pacing of this coaster…its literally WILD right out of the station! There isn’t a dull moment! This thing hauls through its layout too! Was not expecting that from just a 140 ft drop! Must ride! I suggest fast pass for this one bc it’s usually 90min or more wait without one. 😌
Not always. I rode it twice on Monday and waited 20 min and then about 40 min. First time on was around 11:30 and then later on around 3:45. Just gotta time it right!
I rode it 3 times yesterday and it was 30 minutes or less all 3 times. I rode it 7 times so far and believe it or not my longest wait was during the preview on May 30th so I’d say plan to go on a weekday
Rode it on Saturday, was like an hour wait but it was cool, took lots of pics & love the double sided lockers and one thing I also loved...the handles by your legs, like gripping a stick shift on both sides...this thing was so aggressive and fun...my fave coaster at Hershey, with Skyrush not far behind...
That unbanked double down is my favorite moment on this coaster and I expected it to be I love that feeling of getting airtime and being tossed forward
I honestly can’t wait to ride it this year. I haven’t ridden other RMC such as Iron Rattler, Twisted Timbers, Goliath, and Lightning Rod. But I think after a ride or 2, it will be my favorite RMC I rode.
For me, Skyrush hurts my thighs too much so it’s a once and done ride, as I like Candymonium better due to nice floater airtime and better re-ride-ability. But I think Wildcat’s Revenge will eventually by my favorite ride in the park.
Glad they went through with this upgrade, Wildcat had become unride-ably rough the last couple years can’t wait to ride this next summer
Love love love this new amazing Hersheypark coaster addition!! 🎢
Wildcat was a headache machine, it was so rough and now Wildcat’s revenge is the smoothest coaster I’ve ever been on it’s a crazy contrast.
I’m suprised you didn’t mention the music in the station.
Great review. Rode this on opening morning. The operations on this are unreal. It is now my overall #2 behind Skyrush. Fantastic ride with a ton of great elements. Hats off to HP and RMC.
Me and my friends who are mostly afraid of coasters just got back from riding it. Everyone was blown away with how good it was. Seriously RMC doesn’t miss.
What a great addition to their lineup! We're hoping to make it out there this year!
Crazy how a mid RMC is a 9 out of 10. Shows you how good RMC’s actually are…
But Wildcat is not a mid RMC 🤔
Well in the context of Taylor's review, he considers it mid to upper tier RMC and that still warranted a 9 from him
@@DraxWithASax yeah I totally agree. But I have been on it and I have see a ton of other RUclipsrs rank it as a upper-tier RMC which I agree with. But yeah like all RMC’s are rly good though too.
@@Keelay04 yeah the fact that a lot of them are so interchangeable between different people is a testament to their consistent high quality.
@@DraxWithASax yeah my friend that’s an RMC hater ranked it as the third best ride in Hershey Park 😂. Wildcat is an ez #1 in the park for me because RMC is by far my favorite coaster manufacturer.
I just rode for the first time yesterday and your review is extremely spot on, I agree with everything you’ve said! I’m a Skyrush fanboy but this is such a more well rounded experience, I’m having a hard time choosing between them. Also, I preferred the front on Wildcat’s Revenge to the back, which surprised me!
MAKE A TOP 25 VIDEO!!
How do we know the 1923 wildcat isn’t better🤔
Just did it 4 times yesterday. It's amazing, the beginning and end kind of remind me of twisted timbers with a smaller version of Iron Gwazi in the middle. I'd give it a 9.5, it's currently my #3. I rode Arie Force One today :)
So which did ya prefer more? This or AFO?
I also rode 4 times yesterday! Probably saw you in line haha!
bro same (actually it was 6 tho)
this is the best ride in the park
This if I'm being honest. The ending of AFO hurts me
that sway on the structure of the underflip is so intense looking. what doesn't bend breaks, i guess is the idea.
Fantastic coaster I agree most people will have it in their top two of Hersey Park rides.
I don’t like it, they ripped of Phantom’s Revenge’s name, although I get it, they just want to mirror the best coaster in pa
phantoms revenge is phantoms revenge and wildcats revenge is wildcats revenge. not the same name boss
