What riders love
  • Standard wild mouse, the drops at the end are fun. The hairpin turns are great near-miss elements too.
  • I'm usually not a fan of mouse rides but this one was pretty fun.
  • This is a Wild Mouse that executes the pretty generic Wild Mouse experience really well.
  • It feels like it's going to throw you out the side of the car and into the park.
  • This is my favorite Wild Mouse because not only is it intense, but it's also very smooth in the process.
  • This one has minimal breaking and goes over hills and turns much faster than your average mouse.
  • The turns and the hills/drops don't even have a single bump in them and the ride's pacing never lets up which is great for a Wild Mouse.
  • It’s ridiculously fast thanks to the trims not hitting.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Hersheypark

Near the end, you get a double hill and I got a surprising amount of airtime when you hit the second hill.

Wild Mouse has some good laterals, which is to be expected, but unlike the others, it’s very light on the trims and actually has one or two moments of weak floater, so that’s nice.

Beau

The drops are fun and provide some nice punch and even a little airtime.

CoasterKing

This is my favorite Wild Mouse because not only is it intense, but it’s also very smooth in the process.

Vinnie T

But its still just a mouse and its not anything special and these aren’t the most comfortable rides in the world especially with how fast this one runs.

Ryan the Jester

It was extremely painful, I kept getting jolted around like a ragdoll, and the vehicles are difficult to board because they they don’t fully stop moving.

But I personally like that its more aggressive and its at my home park so I have many memories of this thing.

Ryan the Jester

Believe it or not this is the most forceful Wild Mouse that I have ever been on the last 2 turns on the top me and my friend legitimately felt like we were going to fall out which is different from...

Isaiah White

The turns and the hills/drops don’t even have a single bump in them and the ride’s pacing never lets up which is great for a Wild Mouse.

This is a common Wild Mouse coaster however I still have not found a standard one that runs as fast as this one.

Ryan the Jester

This thing runs so much faster than most wild mice, which could be good but also bad.

CoasterKing

It’s ridiculously fast thanks to the trims not hitting.

Jack Jack J.

Brakes were off and we were flying like CRAZY!

Jake The coaster dude

Hersheypark ops get a rare W with this one - they do a good job of pumping out the cars.

Ryan the Jester, Captain Coaster review

While it isn’t as bad as other wild mouse coasters (or wild mice), it’s not a ride that I eagerly hop right back in line for

Jonas, Captain Coaster review

While Wild Mouse isn’t too special, I still find it as a good Wild Mouse as the turns are flat, the drops are fun, there arn’t too many brakes, and most importantly, THE EXTRA HUMP IS HERE!!!

Incredible Coasters, published review

The extra hump is alot of fun and definetly something that should be on all Wild Mice.

Incredible Coasters, published review

The restraints are more comfortable than the clone at Carowinds and the dispatches are a lot quicker due to the constantly moving station, but it’s still not a very good ride.

MapleFlakes, Captain Coaster review

We had fun. The lap bar tried to disable my ability to reproduce.
