    You really didn't like the unbanked double down (jarring moment #1 - the first element after the second wave turn)? For me that was one of the highlights of the ride - the rest of it felt like pretty standard RMC stuff, i.e. ultra elite, but not surprising. But that specific element combined airtime and laterals in a way I had never felt before, and I think it showed some creativity in a layout that-while super good-is pretty paint-by-numbers otherwise.

    In my opinion and i think many others would probably agree, but I actually love those two super jarring hills that you mentioned. They make the second half of the ride feel a lot more out of control and fast paced, especially adding on top that small ejector pop before the break run. Even if they feel a bit uncomfortable, they are mighty wicked and thankfully im the type to actually enjoy it. Especially since they are nothing we've seen on another RMC and only add to the originality factor. This keeps it as a top tier RMC for me, and I might even like that second half better than the first in all honesty

    You are absolutely correct about the ops. I have not had one op that has really lowered the bar much at all in my 20-30 rides over a bunch of days. If you ask me, being able to ride this however you want is a massive plus over any other rmc.

    Wildcat's Revenge has to be my favorite ride at Hershey now. I have ridden several times and in different seats but my favorite parts are while sitting in the back. The airtime from the first drop and out of the first wave turn are amazing. Though, I do agree that the end doesnt feel as complete as the first half. But overall it's a great ride and I'm very glad I got season passes to ride this as much as I want this year.

    • @nesmanmain0001

    It’s a terrific addition to the park, pacing is perfect, the 270 underflip reminds me of Untamed, the zero G stall leaves you hanging for jusssssst the right amount of time and the transitions from element to element are buttery smooth although agree with you 💯 on the braid run (I needed one last pop and make it a 50 second ride 😂)! Also, it’s a gorgeous colour scheme, looks like a beauty!!!

  • @toyoracer33
    @toyoracer33 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Something I've noticed about RMC's in general is they need to warm up. Much more so than any other manufacturer in my experience. I'm guessing it's a quirk of the IBox track. My only rides on Wildcats Revenge were after it warmed up But I did notice it was still getting faster through the day.
    Also, we should probably talk about those restraints on Skyrush...

    Wildcats revenge is the perfect balance of intensity, without being over the top. It seems to focus on floater airtime more then straight ejector like steel Vengeance. I feel like this ride isn't too out of control for the GP but it was good enough to crack my top 5. I think it's definitely better then twisted timbers.
    Also for what it's worth, I get that RMC's feel a lot slower in the morning, but I feel like so do all other rides. I noticed B&M's punch alot weaker in the morning as much if not more than RMC's.
    Great video though! Love the channel.

    My main thing about this ride is that has a very complete layout! It's a perfect mix of airtime and inversions. This ride seems to just get faster as it goes on! I do think that the helix gets a bit boring at the end of the ride. Maybe if they overbanked the helix into a stall briefly, and then came back out of it! (The NESman roll if you will😅) Also, I personally really enjoyed the lateral double down and lateral hill into the brakes, but to each their own, right?

  • @DanCrowleyNYC
    @DanCrowleyNYC 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    We got on this a few weeks ago and loved it (but both of our rides were either a night ride or an afternoon ride) - very forceful and fantastic in the back. The locker system was great, but as we are prepared 40+ year olds, we knew to wear zipper pockets and bypass the lockers. But we almost got into an argument with a family that tried to hold up the line on the stairs waiting for the rest of their family at the lockers, expecting everyone to wait for them. Their theme park etiquette was horrible, and I couldn't believe they expected everyone to wait for their locker hold up. I made sure it didn't ruin my [excellent] ride and calmly explained that they should have all waited at the locker and not stop the entire line at the top of the stairs. (You can tell I'm still salty over this lol! But only because they acted like we were all in the wrong for walking around them!)

    I rode it 13 times this past Saturday while at Hershey's coaster event. This was my 19th RMC. First ride of the morning and 12 night rides during our hour ERT. I came away disappointed with the morning ride. I was much happier with that nighttime ride. First drop is better than expected. I will say I didn't enjoy the first inversion as most. Camelback was very good although I've experienced much better on an RMC. I really thought they did a great job on the stall. The 3rd and 4th inversion were great in the front as the pacing was really good for those nighttime rides. I thought the ride got better on those nighttime rides. The pacing seems to really pick up after the stall. I also like the hills you disliked. They offered a unique airtime and laterals moment you just don't get on other coasters. After thinking about it I have this as my #6 overall RMC out of the 19 I've ridden. It is behind Steel Vengeance, Iron Gwazi, Lightning Rod, Arie Force One, and Twisted Timbers. I have it right ahead of Outlaw Run, Iron Rattler, Storm Chaser, and Twisted Colossus. I will be getting Jersey Devil next weekend and then Untamed in August. I think Untamed has a lot of potential and could crack my Top 5.

    I got a ride on WR after a rainstorm, but its still the best ride at Hershey. My favorite coaster in PA (haven't been to Kennywood yet) is Steel Force. Steel Force back row ride blew my mind, its a better version of Magnum IMO and until Steel Vengeance came out Magnum was my favorite coaster.

    Probably won't get up to Hershey this year but maybe next year. It stings because all these RMC coasters being built is making it mighty difficult to get on all of them. I used to be able to boast that I have been on all of them in the US. Now I haven't been on the one at Silverwood and this one!

    Got my first ride in today. Going back in a couple of weeks with fast track. KD is my closed park, HP is just 40 min further. But personally I thought twisted timbers was better. Those 3 lil hills are just perfect. However i do appreciate the sudden break check on wild cat. Compared to the god awful bunny hops on TT. But I’ll have a better opinion in a few weeks.

    Thanks for all your hard work. Going to be heading to Orlando in January and I before I wouldnt but im probably going to head to seaworld and Bush Gardens for a few days assuming that Mako and Iron Gwazi arnt schedule to be down. Secondly agreed the lap bar makes such a difference. I had one of my wildest ever rides when I was on Ghostrider even just in the morning becuase it was less pushed down I got the ranking that day. Less pushed down lap bars can make even more family orientated rides like Big Thunder seem a lot more intense. Also yes i agree on lockers. and zippers. Let people have proper zippers and bum bags not be descriminated against/ but if not compromise on free lockers I think the VelociCoaster was probably the best comprimise on that keeping your phones until close to the ride then easy safe access when you get off.

    As someone who was at the park when you were and someone who rides it all the time I can say without a doubt the day you got your rides it was not running as fast as it does on sunny hot days and it always runs better after 5:30 so considering all that I respect your views in this video because you didn’t ride it while it’s hauling yet. It was a cloudy rainy day

    I agree that the Camelback is possibly the best and my favorite element. I do however like the weird lateral turn after the 2nd wave turn HOWEVER, the brake entrance is so janky. The guy in front of me was halfway out his chair at the end and had crazy whiplash.
    I also haven't ranked it yet XD

    I personally like this ride more than Steel Vengeance. Definitely agree it’s the best in the park. Skyrush is still up there. I heard alot of people like this more than Gwazi, but there are alot that don’t. It’s all a matter of opinion really. People just have to ride it for themselves.

  • @darkridedan1
    @darkridedan1 ปีที่แล้ว

    There’s nothing to hate. Ride the front row; it’s amazing! It’s great in any row but the front row comes alive in the 2nd half of the ride.
    I’ve only had 1 ride that wasn’t in the front or back row. WR was a top 10 on my 1st ride (in the last row) and it’s only gotten higher after many rides in the 1st row.
    Lightning Rod is fun, Iron Gwazi is okay (I only marathoned in the morning) and Steel Vengence is sooooo overrated. (I only got 1 ride after closing, after waiting almost an hour in line.)
    I rode Wildcat’s Revenge on opening day, Pantheon for the 1st time the next day and Twisted Timbers for my 3rd visit the following day. I love Twisted Timbers, but Wildcat’s Revenge blew Twisted Timbers out of the water. Btw, Pantheon was terrible. Rollbacks are earned. Pantheon is a participation trophy coaster!!

    I appreciate the comprehensive review! When I watched the POV I felt like the two awkward elements you mentioned stood out months ago, when the layout was revealed. They both feel like elements made in Planet Coaster using the autocomplete tool, more than a refined addition to the overall ride. I do personally prefer Phantom's Revenge over a mid-tier RMC. I think the RMC I-Box is the best model coaster out there, only being really contended by a B&M Giga (let's overlook the recent news on that front though.) That Morgan Hyper conversion does feel like such an anomaly though, from its unique history and the story behind its modern iteration, as well as the quirky terrain-reliant layout. For as good as an RMC is, it would have to be a standout among its own peers for me to consider it a better ride than Phantom. But again, personal preference. Appreciate the content, as always!
