  • Description
  • The Wild Mouse roller coaster seen from the Lagoon. Small cars on a narrow track with quick drops and tight curves made for a rougher ride than the wooden roller coasters. The scaffolding-like flimsiness of the structure added an element of danger, which attracted riders. The Wild Mouse was retired after a few seasons of riders complaining about bruises.
