Aussie World's website is now using your P.O.V Video on their main page :) Great to see the Australian parks taking some notice of you guys and the great work you do!
Every amusement park nowadays want the fastest tallest record breaking coaster..why? This coaster seems like it is more fun than any of those! Wish we had one like this in LA cali.
In Anahiem disney california adventure their is one there.....just try to go there. i forgot what the of that wild mouse coaster the name is goofy's of the ride
Went on this today... so awesome and fast .. when you come on the hill thing after the first dip u literally lift about 15cm out of your seat....Loved it
Lol holy shit, that has to be the fastest lift hill I've ever seen on a coaster, in fact I think the fastest and zippiest coaster I've seen period, even faster than the Blackpool Wooden Wild Mouse.
+Cr4z3d The coaster itself is pretty small, there's a ferris wheel in the background for comparison. But this one is pretty fast. Aussie World is a pretty good park. I personally like "The Octopus" Which is right next to the wild mouse. You can even see it at 0:43. I used to go to Aussie World all the time as a kid. It was like a permanent fair ground. Ferris wheel, merry-go-round... It was always a lot of fun though.
+Skystarry75 Heh, that's kind of what Knoebels near here is like, a permanent fairground, a big one at that though. Lots of actual old school rides too, in perfect functioning order.
+Skystarry75 You should, great classic simulation series, I'd say mostly stick to the 1st two games though. And Knoebels is, very nice family park basically build through and around a forest, hence why it reminds me of that particular scenario. It's in Elysburg, PA.
They had a wooden one like this one in Playland, Vancouver about 2 decades ago. I rode it many years ago and it’s still one of the scariest rides I’ve ever been on. I’ve ridden so many new roller coasters all over but I seriously thought I would fall over on this one on top. It was 👍 great!!
i rode this ride as a kid back in 1974 at Ponchartrain Beach in New Orleans Louisiana. it was called the Wild Maus. this ride was so fast that it actually flew off of the tracks on a couple of occasions. me and my dad rode this ride and a couple days later it was in the local news that one of the cars flew off of the tracks, flew out into the parking lot and landed on top of a pregnant woman who was sitting in her car and killed the riders as well as the woman in the car. the following summer another car flew off of the tracks and killed a pedestrian in the parking lot along with the riders. after that the ride was dismantled and sold. no lies.
The one in New Orleans scared the HELL out of me when I was 8. Rode with my Godmother and she was yelling the whole time. GREAT MEMORIES for a kid growing up in the 50's.
+RehenNodrog Haha yes! My thoughts exactly, never thought I'd encounter someone with the same idea :). The only question at this point really though is where would they put it? They've pretty much used all their available space as it is. A Wild Mouse at Knoebels would be awesome though :)
This is one of only two wooden coasters in Australia. The other is in Luna Park Melbourne (Scenic Railway) and it's the second oldest coaster in the world, the oldest continually running coaster in the world.
That ride opt looks huge. You can see how big his arms are when you pull back into the station. He must get a good workout from pulling on that handbreak.
I say the one at luna park is better (even though it is the exact same ride) because the harbour is right below you when you go around the sharp turns and it feels like your going straight into the harbour
That ride opt looks huge. You can see how big his arms are when you pull back into the station. he must get a good workout from pulling on that handbreak.
I don't think running it this fast was very good for the track and it may have attributed to it's closure. Luna park Sydney's wild mouse was a sister coaster of this one (both were built at Luna Park and were originally identical). The third of these is still operating in Indonesia.
I live half an hour away from Aussie World. Fun park, all they really need is a new coaster. Something compact as they have little space to expand, maybe a Gerstlauer eurofighter 320?
Definitely need to visit here now ! Honestly miss the wild mouse at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Since the layout is the same and kind of same trains this ride experience shouldn’t be any different! Hope to ride in the near future ! :)
This reminds me of the Wild Mouse at Ponchartrain Beach in New Orleans. Unfortunately, they removed it for another ride, but it was a great little ride. In fact, whenever the car would hit the turns I actually thought it sounded like a mouse scurrying around.
At least it doesn't shake and vibrate like Blackpool's does. Blackpool Pleasure beach's wooden wildmouse is a fantastic ride when theres two of you to ride together. If on your own though it makes you feel terrified especially when you feel the entire structure vibrate underneath you
I recently found out that the park removed this coaster to replace it with a newer model, how sad it is for a classic ride to meet its demise soo recently.
I use to spend most of my summer holidays at morecambe pleasure park when I was a kid. I think 30 rides in one day on the wild mouse was my best/most sore experience.
I am sure that this was the same Wild Mouse ride in the 1970's in a small welsh seaside town called Rhyl - South Wales UK. I remember when I was a kid looking at this ride as we went passed it, always wanted to have ago on it... but I didn't.
my god..... your right That took me 3 years to see my mistake. We never went to south wales much, it was north. Sorry, North Wales and thank you HR for spotting that.
i used to go to aussie world heaps when i was like, 6-7 but i was always too short to ride this back then. D: now we don't go there anymore and i still haven't ridden it. :c
Makes me wonder.. track layout and design and cars are VERY similar to the (sadly) demolished wild mouse that was at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Was it the same manufacturer??
we had one here in the UK at Blackpool pleasure beach i was fuming when they took it down they built icon and on the same year they took the wild mouse down such a classic its a shame cuz these type of rides should have a status of being untouchable apart from repair needs and maintenance of course !!
did u know this rollercoaster was from perth!!!!!! the reason it got sent to aussie world was because a kid flew off the tracks [still sitting in the kart] the same thing happended at aussie world,,,,, the kids family sued no one but my family and the workers know this story [i got told by one of the workers,,,,, but i still ride it to this day!!!!]
Aussie World's website is now using your P.O.V Video on their main page :) Great to see the Australian parks taking some notice of you guys and the great work you do!
I’ve been on the one in Blackpool and it was insane. RIP that coaster, it was truly iconic.
I can't believe you guys were at AussieWorld!!! That's just up the road from me...Really enjoying your videos...AWESOME!!!
Same!! I remember going on this back 7 years ago... Was my favorite ride
proper "wild mouse "
the Zig-zag part of wild mouse coaster is always the Scariest looks like youre going to fall.
Yea especially when it starts going fast and it just turns you feel like your going to fall out lmao
Reminds me of Blackpool Pleasure Beach's Wild Mouse. Very similar track layout too
Every amusement park nowadays want the fastest tallest record breaking coaster..why? This coaster seems like it is more fun than any of those! Wish we had one like this in LA cali.
In Anahiem disney california adventure their is one there.....just try to go there. i forgot what the of that wild mouse coaster the name is goofy's of the ride
Tj Samson There used to be a great mouse coaster at Adventure City called Tree top Racer but they removed it. There is RUclips video of it.
Andy Mann Btw, i never heard of Adventure City where it is located???
Its in Buena Park down the street from Knott's. It's a kids amusement park.
The smallest rides Seem Fun after Hypers and Gigas and Inversions
I've been on that, it threw me around in the cart lol. it feels like the cart jumps off the track when going over the hills lol
Went on this today... so awesome and fast .. when you come on the hill thing after the first dip u literally lift about 15cm out of your seat....Loved it
They don't make wild mouse rides like they used to...
New ones feel like kiddie coasters in comparison to these
Lol holy shit, that has to be the fastest lift hill I've ever seen on a coaster, in fact I think the fastest and zippiest coaster I've seen period, even faster than the Blackpool Wooden Wild Mouse.

+Skystarry75 You could describe it a bit as kind of like an IRL version of Forest Frontiers in RCT1, if you've played that series.
Cr4z3d Unfortunately... I haven't played any of the RCT games (Though I do know what they are) But Knoebels sounds fun!
+Skystarry75 You should, great classic simulation series, I'd say mostly stick to the 1st two games though. And Knoebels is, very nice family park basically build through and around a forest, hence why it reminds me of that particular scenario. It's in Elysburg, PA.
@rollercoasterfan97 It's identical, yes, but this one seemed to run a bit faster and yeah, more airtime...
My God the speed of the lift hill was an eye opener for sure.
Awesome ride, bring me back to Aussie World time and again!
00:48 is the funnest part of the ride
im going to Aussie world for the second time on Thursday ............. I can't wait
The wooden wild mouses are the best ones ever! but i think the one at Blackpool pleasure beach is better!
NOTE! this is only my opinion
alanm4072 rip
alanm4072 The one at blackpool was horrible. In fact it was so horrible and such a nasty jerk it got demolished.
Nicknamed this "The neck-breaker" after riding this because of those sharp turns
I love the wooden wild mouses! I ride it all the time at the indoor amusement park! :D
Thats an awesome Wild Mouse!
I've never seen a wooden wild mouse this was pretty cool.
They had a wooden one like this one in Playland, Vancouver about 2 decades ago. I rode it many years ago and it’s still one of the scariest rides I’ve ever been on. I’ve ridden so many new roller coasters all over but I seriously thought I would fall over on this one on top. It was 👍 great!!
That looks so fun!!
gotta love the oh shit handles on the side.
That looks unbelievably fast! Almost thought I accidentally changed the viewing speed to x1.25...
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun filming this one!
Its a shorter version of the Blackpool Wild Mouse which was iconic
i rode this ride as a kid back in 1974 at Ponchartrain Beach in New Orleans Louisiana. it was called the Wild Maus. this ride was so fast that it actually flew off of the tracks on a couple of occasions. me and my dad rode this ride and a couple days later it was in the local news that one of the cars flew off of the tracks, flew out into the parking lot and landed on top of a pregnant woman who was sitting in her car and killed the riders as well as the woman in the car. the following summer another car flew off of the tracks and killed a pedestrian in the parking lot along with the riders. after that the ride was dismantled and sold. no lies.
that is the fastest lift i have ever seen holy shit lol
Can't believe this ride is still open - the number of times I've heard stories of it breaking down or it actually haven fallen off the tracks!
11 years later and now the carts you ride in are decoration, they have collected rust.
I went to the Ettamogah Pub when I was on holiday once. We didn't go to Aussie World though, and I was a little disappointed :\
The one in New Orleans scared the HELL out of me when I was 8. Rode with my Godmother and she was yelling the whole time. GREAT MEMORIES for a kid growing up in the 50's.
Knoebels SERIOUSLY needs one of these.
+RehenNodrog Haha yes! My thoughts exactly, never thought I'd encounter someone with the same idea :). The only question at this point really though is where would they put it? They've pretty much used all their available space as it is. A Wild Mouse at Knoebels would be awesome though :)
i Wish they kept this and the one in Blackpool i love Wooden wild Mouse good Airtime
I'm more entertained by your voice than the coaster. "weeeeee!" Hilarious! HAHA
North of Brisbane.
73 Frizzo Road, Palmview, Queensland, 4553
I Luv this ride I went on it like 15 times
This is one of only two wooden coasters in Australia. The other is in Luna Park Melbourne (Scenic Railway) and it's the second oldest coaster in the world, the oldest continually running coaster in the world.
Pretty sure this is the one that used to be at Claremont Showgrounds in W.A.
That ride opt looks huge. You can see how big his arms are when you pull back into the station. He must get a good workout from pulling on that handbreak.
I say the one at luna park is better (even though it is the exact same ride) because the harbour is right below you when you go around the sharp turns and it feels like your going straight into the harbour
This looks like so much fun even though it's similar to every other wild mouse!
The anticipation was killing me. I was expecting a big ass dip, lol.

That has to be the quickest Wild Mouse on record.

This one was also recently demolished.
This reminds me of the Wild Mouse at Ponchartrain Beach in New Orleans. Unfortunately, they removed it for another ride, but it was a great little ride. In fact, whenever the car would hit the turns I actually thought it sounded like a mouse scurrying around.
This is probably my favorite wild mouse
It was demolished a few years ago...
why is ti that all the videos filmed in Australia have terrible weather even though it is normally beautiful
plus when ridding this ride you get air
Because Australia is shit
It's in the tropics, it rains a lot
At least it doesn't shake and vibrate like Blackpool's does. Blackpool Pleasure beach's wooden wildmouse is a fantastic ride when theres two of you to ride together. If on your own though it makes you feel terrified especially when you feel the entire structure vibrate underneath you
David Taylor That make its 100x times better and will now be sadly missed 😭
David Taylor Rip
I recently found out that the park removed this coaster to replace it with a newer model, how sad it is for a classic ride to meet its demise soo recently.
I hope it will be relocated, I'm sure it will turn up in Indonesia.
Gigazic, So do I... lots of these Australian built wild mice have been relocated to Indonesia.
Just go to Luna Park Sydney, with the original one. It is also named the Wild Mouse
Its exactly the same and it is safer
It was bulldozed, its not going anywhere.
I use to spend most of my summer holidays at morecambe pleasure park when I was a kid. I think 30 rides in one day on the wild mouse was my best/most sore experience.
your have to go back to aussie world and go on the redback it's the best ride EVERRR
nice video!!!!
@SMGrandall unfortunately, i have no theme parks near my house....
Unfortunately, Aussie World's beloved Wild Mouse coaster has been demolished and a new ride is set to go in it's place later in 2019.
Very similar layout to the former wild mouse at blackpool, just missing the first 2 drops but the rest is the exact same layout
Ooooooooooooooo man that realllllyyy is a wilLlLlLlLd mousseeee
this was the first roller coaster i ever went on :D (100th comment lol)
@TheStephie1088 yes
Call me a bad australian but exactly where is aussie world. I live in newy and this ride looks really good
I am sure that this was the same Wild Mouse ride in the 1970's in a small welsh seaside town called Rhyl - South Wales UK. I remember when I was a kid looking at this ride as we went passed it, always wanted to have ago on it... but I didn't.
Damian Karras SJ Rhyl is in North Wales though.
my god..... your right That took me 3 years to see my mistake. We never went to south wales much, it was north. Sorry, North Wales and thank you HR for spotting that.
i used to go to aussie world heaps when i was like, 6-7 but i was always too short to ride this back then. D: now we don't go there anymore and i still haven't ridden it. :c
We have one just like this at Blackpool pleasure beach but it has a few more extra drops.
i live down the road near that called glenview road
Aussie world took this away years ago, but they are building a new coaster a bit like this one
This is so fun!! But if you have a broken bone or sore muscle or something it does hurt it as it jolts
Jamison Kehl yeah i had a had with me at my feet on that ride and there was a part when it actually flipped up
Cool ride. You kinda remind of the double rainbow Guy. What does it mean?
It sounds exactly like the rollercoaster tycoon wold mouse!
Well, of course it does. RCT1 and 2 use audio samples recorded from real-life rides for chain lifts and rider screams.
Wow, that might be the fastest lift in Japan.
What? Not Japan??
Balance is restored to the Universe...
@SMGrandall Lol! there is already one at a theme park near me, its called wild mouse at blackpool pleasure beach
And demolished this year after 60 years of operation.
Gotta love a violent wild mouse
That frigin roller coaste is so rough
I love wild mice.
I went there but this ride was closed. They were fixing the track.
I don't think this is safe
So sad that this and Blackpool's wooden wild mouse have both been demolished now.
wow how many time will they build the same coaster????
Makes me wonder.. track layout and design and cars are VERY similar to the (sadly) demolished wild mouse that was at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Was it the same manufacturer??
i think so
Only wooden wild mouse left in operation
i swear that every wild mouse there is in the world is exactly the same
@SMGrandall i already do
i live down the road from aussie world
1 more day
:P
that's a fun ride
YAAASSSS
we had one here in the UK at Blackpool pleasure beach i was fuming when they took it down they built icon and on the same year they took the wild mouse down such a classic its a shame cuz these type of rides should have a status of being untouchable apart from repair needs and maintenance of course !!
This is identical to the Rattlesnake at Chessington in the UK!
MostBestestCreation no it's not
i go here ALL THE TIME
its only a 10 minute drive from where i live
Now that the wild mouse in Blackpool has gone, this is only one of 2 left in the world. Treasure it!!
This one is gone now, but there are actually three wooden wild mouse coasters left in the world. One in Sydney, and two in Indonesia.
AWESOME
did u know this rollercoaster was from perth!!!!!!
the reason it got sent to aussie world was because a kid flew off the tracks [still sitting in the kart]
the same thing happended at aussie world,,,,, the kids family sued
no one but my family and the workers know this story [i got told by one of the workers,,,,, but i still ride it to this day!!!!]
2:39 l am looking for a old photo of the wild mouse showing the sign at the top of the ride Tony Maloney at Luna Park Sydney.
FUCK YEAH MOUSE TRAP IS MY SHIT
I went on this once when I went with schools out and I never want to do it again
can only one person go on at a time??
ha ha u guys went to aussie world!!
Whats your opinion on Australian rides?
Luna Park Sydney have exactly the same Wild Mouse as this one.
this ride feels dodgy @ luna park but i think its coz of the sound the wood makes
He always over exaggerates the pain on wild mouses
