The Wildcat is a nice throwback to a day where coasters didn't have to be intense, they were just fun. Just think of it for over three generations people have been coming to Lake Compounce and taking the Wildcat for a spin. I kind of get a kick thinking that this is a ride that has been a part of grandparents, parents and kids lives.

Ken and I chose the back seat for our ride figuring that's where the most airtime would be.
