The Wildcat, unknown to many people, is actually a travel coaster that has been permanently fixed into its own little section of the park.  When I say little I mean it in the most extreme sense of the term.  Packed into an area the size of a city lot backyard, this coaster is full of non-stop drops and quick curves.  The only negative point to this coaster is that certain people who have longer legs or who are taller than like 6'6" will more than likely have a hard time fitting into the mini cars, which run alone carrying four people at a time.

When I first rode the Wildcat, I thought as probably most people do at first that this is a cheap, boring ride, but it is a lot more exciting than one would expect.  From the station, the car makes a quick 180° spin into the 35 ft. tall lift.  After the lift, the car makes a short dip before u-turning almost back to its original height and diving quickly to ground level and hopping back up into another u-turn.  Because it is such tangled ride, the only other describable part of the ride is the end-really quick and strong brakes, which are needed to stop it from the final helix in such a little space.

Overall, this ride is definitely a cool ride, though you might not want to ride it if you don't want to risk a headache!  It is somewhat rough yet smooth at the same time for being such a small coaster.  If you get a chance to go to Cedar Point, like I have said many times, this is probably one of my most suggested rides as long as you are prepared to experience a true mini-coaster (I'm still not sure if it can be classified as a Junior coaster because of the typical height qualifications).
