What riders love
  • My mother and I rode it with two other people, and I was pleasantly surprised by how forceful it was and how fast we were spinning.
  • We were spinning like crazy on the breakrun so had a blast on it.
  • The spinning is really fun and the layout is unique for a wild mouse.
  • The ride vehicles are the characters and then a little piece of cheese.
  • It has some fun characters to it with each of their own personality, and their own car. The lift hill music is such a banger.
  • It has a cute song to play during the ride and has specific mice for each car, so I thought that was a cool touch.
  • Due to the spinning car, the flat turns weren’t nearly as rough as normal mouse track coasters and this had more banking turns than flat.
  • It's not painful or jerky at all and really fun to ride!
  • It tracks very smoothly.

Vs. other coasters at Cedar Point

The spinning isnt too bad compared to some wild mouse coasters (Im looking at you barrels of fun), and its a pretty smooth coaster.

Cubico

The cars are pretty comfortable.

Hsh Sbbsbs

It’s not painful or jerky at all and really fun to ride!

Chermaine Streppel

It can kind of hurt though (but that’s probably not consistent with every ride because I did get an ungodly amount of spinning) and the restraints aren’t the best.

Jonas

I was on this july 9th for my first time some parts it kind of hurts but fun

Gavin Sikon

Ok I have no idea what happened when I rode this but the spinning was too much...

Derek Stearns

I wish you could ride by yourself like you can on the Fun Spot version, so the spinning was just a bit too tame for me to give it a higher score.

Max S.

When I went on this the car did not spin at all, it was just locked and just felt like some kiddie coaster.

Marc

(A long line deterred me.) The ride ops are efficient, and they keep the line moving as best they can with only four people to a car.

Coaster Nut

But you can’t deny that it’s a wild mouse at it’s core, and the line is pretty excessive for the shortness of the ride.

Motion sickness risk

Wow was that fun, but holy heck were we dizzy afterwards!

@RowanRedbrush

I’m prone to motion sickness and I’m usually fine on the bigger coasters, but this one got me bad.

What riders say

Praised for

FunGreat theming

Criticised for

Long waitsToo shortRider fit issuesMade riders sick

The spinning on this ride was fairly intense but it’s kind of hard to try and achieve, you have to make the seats uneven so you go flying and spinning around the course.

Adrian Sokol, Captain Coaster review

Though the spinning definitely eases up on the painful laterals which I despise, I found the ride to be almost as uncomfortable due to the lap bar.

MapleFlakes, Captain Coaster review

Love the fun theming on this ride, from the cheesy mouse cars, sound effects along the way, to the cat trying to grab at the mouse at the beginning before the mouse runs away from it.

L B, Captain Coaster review

I think that this wild mouse coaster BEATS out the one at my home park (Michigan’s Adventure) in terms of layout & craziness.

Bryce Fourn, Captain Coaster review

Its better than a normal wild mouse and is actually a ton of fun if you can really get it spinning.

Niko Banfield, Captain Coaster review

I prefer the element on Maurer spinners, but it’s still a fun part of the ride.

Coaster Great, Captain Coaster review
