While speaking of the Mild Thing it's time to get wild.



Wild Thing was the first hyper coaster built by Morgan Manufacturing back in 1996.  If you've never heard of a hyper coaster it means that it is a coaster over 200 feet tall with no loops so you can expect plenty of airtime.



I have to say that I wasn't sure what to expect from Wild Thing.  I had heard that it was a forceless and boring ride so my expectations were pretty low for it.



Here one train begins it's two hundred foot ascent while another train finishes its 5,640 run around the Wild Thing's course.
