Went on Wildcat's Revenge on an extremely rainy day. Was thrilled it was open and was happy to accept the reality that we'd be pelted with raindrops throughout our rides in order to get on it during our visit. The good news was that there were virtually no lines to speak of and we were able to ride multiple times in a short window. The bad news - the rain hurt and probably impacted my view of the ride ever so slightly. Overall, WR was my 6th RMC and I'd put it at #4, just a notch below ArieForce, but better than Twisted Timbers and Twisted Cyclone. The first hill is solid, the first ejector is as good as anything I've felt since Steel Vengeance and the combination of elements really came together well to provide a remarkable ride. I thought the theming was pretty strong too - I liked the cats in all their forms and who doesn't like a revenge theme. I've been spoiled by a heavy RMC ride volume this summer and everything I've ridden has felt a bit secondary to Steel Vengeance so I wasn't blown away per se. But, there's nothing not to like here. It is a fantastic ride with a healthy length and a wicked combination of elements that have this ride justifiably creeping into the top 10-15 global coasters rankings.

My favorite coaster in California. This ride flies through the supports and feels twice as fast as it actually is. The ride feels absolutely wild and out of control. The laterals and airtime are both incredible. My only complaint is that the ride operations tend to be on the slow side. Overall, a phenomenal ride.

Loved the deceptive first drop. Off ride it looks like it’s quite tame, because of the twist, but it delivers a lot of speed into that amazing first l...

Loved the deceptive first drop. Off ride it looks like it’s quite tame, because of the twist, but it delivers a lot of speed into that amazing first loop. But then the rattling started to bug me. My perception of a B&M coaster is that it should make you feel you getting big thrills but with machinery that could be made by BMW. But this was nearly as rough as a Vekoma SLC. And the hard plastic shoulder restraints are a throwback to another era. Having ridden the new B&M dive coaster with the forgettable name, earlier in the day, it’s not that I have misty memories of B&M … that was exactly what I expect from a B&M coaster, this is a bit of a dog that needs an overhaul or replacement.

First drop is nuts and unexpected if it’s your first time. Great inversions, and airtimes throughout. Best ride in the park and may be a bit underrate...

First drop is nuts and unexpected if it’s your first time. Great inversions, and airtimes throughout. Best ride in the park and may be a bit underrated.

Pretty great ride. Gives many weird sensations you don’t get on many coasters. Fun launches and hang times. The cars are premier so they can be a bit ...

Pretty great ride. Gives many weird sensations you don’t get on many coasters. Fun launches and hang times. The cars are premier so they can be a bit cramped. Ride is also over pretty quickly.

Slow moving line, even broke down right before I got on. Later in the night when I rode it, it was very fun and the hang time was awesome. I was surprised how much I liked this one.

I got quite a lot of spins on this and it has a decent layout for a wild mouse. Was pretty dizzy afterwards but it was fun for what it is. Slowest mov...

I got quite a lot of spins on this and it has a decent layout for a wild mouse. Was pretty dizzy afterwards but it was fun for what it is. Slowest moving line in the park and took almost two hours to ride.
