- The Cheetah at Wild Adventures has been retired by Herschend Family Entertainment. What will exactly happen to the ride is unclear at the moment. But the future looks grim for this CCI built in 2001.
Damn this was my favorite ride, one of the only thing that kept that park alive in my opinion
My freaking childhood🥺🥺🥺🥺
The other problem with the cheetah was they where losing control of how fast it was going. I don’t know if this was due to maintenance issues or age.
If it was going to fast, they could have added trims, if it was going to slow, they could've added weights to the trains. It had Gerstlauer trains, which are some of lightest wood coaster trains, maybe even lighter than Morgans.
MY CHILD HOOD. GONE😭😭😭😭😭
Damn, My first Wooden Coaster, Starliner, went into storage hell years ago, and now my second one, Cheetah, retires.
Oh nooo!!! This was my favorite ride since day one! I know now they won't be getting my money there.
They can donate it to me and I'll let people ride it for free lol
The Cheetah got beat to heck over the years, but that's what made it great. Bumpy, a bit jarring, but it was allot of fun!
A wooden coaster with a steel structure (like Cheetah) is quite robust and relatively inexpensive to maintain. Traditional wooden coasters with structural wood are a maintenance nightmare, but this particular design was installed at Wild Adventures originally because of its low maintenance costs. Herschend is running this park into the ground -- way too much cost cutting.
With the park's main attraction gone, crowds are going to dwindle rapidly.
True I haven’t been to the park in a while
You must have never rode the cheetah? 🤣🤣 it should’ve been retired years ago. Hope they can build a better coaster!!!
Agreed I thought I was gonna die
I told my friend get me off of it and I'd never ride it again
They CAN make it better by giving it brand new wooden track. Then it would be very smooth.
@@kimberlycorneal8694 that's what makes it fun
@@ThaManiac True. Lol
No its my favorite :(
Dude worst ride to ride when raining. Gonna miss it.
That coaster was worse then alot these roads with
the 1000 pot holes
Felt like a free car accident riding that ride 🤣
If the park would completely replace its track with brand new wooden track, then it would not feel like 1000 pot holes. This is what Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA did to their CCI, GhostRider. Smooth as silk.
Well I get why they did it it was old it wobbles a lot and it was made out of wood but that’s my literal fav ride
I can't find Wooden Roller Coaster 1.
They are turning wild adventures into a animal park smh what a joke . A new roller coaster has been needed for a long long time they just been ignoring that fact
Wild Adventures has been an animal park from the very beginning!
@@stacimullis4439 yeah .it’s stupid
it has been remove/destroyed
Yeah but if you knew how often that sucker breaks down or gets stuck with people on board... I think you’d understand lol
If it was maintained PROPERLY, it wouldn't break down as much. But we only care about the preservation of coasters. We don't care care about the technical problems.
Also I feel bad there elephant died
Nooo
That ride didnt look safe anyways. Never got on it and never would have planned on it. I dont do wood coasters.?
Wood coasters are safe if maintained properly and inspected every day. Wood coasters are the reason that steel coasters like Twisted Typhoon exist. They need to be respected.
@@MATTHEW3438 but what if it rains? It doesnt weaken the wood? I always walked passed it. Was just too high up for me to be a wooden coaster and how it was off by itself like that in my opinion
@@clarissabanks3277 Its treated lumber. That protects it from decay and rotting. The wood would need to be replaced eventually though.
Wooden coasters are actually more safer than steel coasters. It's because of all the supports and trusses that connect and broaden out. They also absorb the trains energy, rather that containing it all on the riders, thats why they sway slightly. Plus, Cheetah had a steel structure, only part that was wood was the track and catwalks. Also, if there is weakened wood, they replace and maintain it. It's very rare for incidents to happen on roller coasters, especially with their structure. Most incidents are related to the riders, and ride operators.
I’ve been on that ride 😭
So they lied to me when I went just last month and they told me it was under repairs..
Now we must protect the all american scream machine at six flags.
I have never been to wild adventures,cant see paying that much money just to walk around
I guess you’ve never been to Disney World either. Wild Adventures is a quarter of the price of Disney. It’s a lot of fun
Wild Adventures is a waste of money anyways.
