First Drop Inversions Hangtime Too short Capacity
This ride is epic and quite frankly carries the entire park, by far the best coaster and overall ride in the park. This is what Gerstlaur can do beyond those eurofighters, Gerstlaur is quickly showing me that they are a top tier manufacturer and a trip to europe someday may change them to my favorite manufacturer beating a current four way tie for my favorite with Gerstlaur, B&M, Intamin, and RMC. But back to the ride, Hang time, Hang time, Hang time, and more Hangtime is what this ride excels at. With unique inversions and a trim that may be the only trim in history to add to the ride experiance, making the corkscrew very slow and full of even more hangtime, and best of all those Gerstlaur lap bars make it even more epic. This ride is unique and thrilling, great criteria to meet for a great coaster!

Nice surprise! Fun Smoothness Dead spots
Wow this was a heck of a ride, I am not sure how to describe how it made me feel riding a ride like this for the first time. I felt myself travel back in time to Busch gardens when it operated there, how guests must of felt on their first ride on this thrilling new rollercoaster. I loved the smoothness and pure fun factor of Wildcat. This is a perfect example of what a classic ride can be if properly maintained and carefully designed. I maintain to this day that Anton Schwarzkopf is a freaking legend. Also a little bit of floater airtime after the drops when I rose up the hill to the next turn i floated up, which was a nice surprise. Overall goes above and beyond what it looks like it does, a great design!!

Fun Layout Rattle Discomfort Lap Bar
I wanted to find this to be a mid to upper tier coaster, but instead it was like a 2 star hotel, does the job, has a few good things, but definitely not a comfortable stay, just a survivable one. The diving turn is awesome and the ride offers some great forces as well. But the ride was brutally rough with unpadded restraints. The roughness rivals that of the worst arrow and vekomas... no scratch that, this is way rougher and I will stand by that. This was still intense enough to be fun and the layout is awesome, but its clear its relocations have not treated it very well sadly. It was so rough I did not try that dive turn in the back row, I kind of regret that in retrospect but if the front was brutal, the back may attempt to murder me in cold blood.

Airtimes Fun Duration Discomfort Dead spots
While a kiddie coaster I got a little bit of airtime and that is better than most kids coasters. I love it when kids rides surprise me with a bit of thrills and this was not an exception!

Theming Fun Lap Bar
fun family coaster, the lap bar is hella bulky and sits on your stomach and thighs. This is also the best themed non disney coaster in florida, its beautifully themed.

Fun
The "special effect" element performed better than expected and the preshow and theming are well done. This ride is a lot of fun with surprisingly strong friction wheel launches (makes me question some more forceless LSM's for sure). My only real complaint is that the laterals on some turns are not very enjoyable in these exploration vehicle style trains resulting in the middle row actually being my preferred seat on this (I never thought I would say that about a coaster)

Theming Fun
pretty fun kiddie coaster, dont remember much due to how long ago i rode it though. Definitely not bad for a kiddie though.

Airtimes
its a kiddie coaster not much to say. Its a decent kiddie coaster though. It somehow has a small bit of airtime during the tiny hills at the end.
