ThrillKingsFitzy Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 So Cheetah at Wild Adventures was closed for the whole 2020 season. People have emailed Wild Adventures to ask when the ride will reopen. The park messaged back saying the ride will be closed down this year. Any thoughts on what to come?

grsupercity Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Very sad. I am visiting this park for the first time in April and that was the coaster I was most looking forward to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I'm not trying to sound rude but is Wild Adventures really that popular? Is it on par with parks like Adventureland, and so on? I've only heard about this park within the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'm not saying they don't, I'm just asking. It would be nice to see another RMC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you have an RMC, you're almost guaranteed to get most visitors- especially enthusiasts who want to ride them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed my visit there more then parks like Valleyfair and holiday World. The park had a nice vibe, nice coasters, flats and a nice waterpark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah same thing with Indiana Beach, sometimes you just can’t beat the obscure feel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Last Saturday we attended Wild Adventures for the first time. We only had about 4 hours before the storms hit. We really enjoyed this park. Lots of stuff for our 2 and 4 year old to do. Twisted Typhoon was my 150th credit! Nice mix of coasters, flats, animals and other activities. Since its on the way to Florida right off of 75 we will happily go again in the future. Since we only had 4 hours I am sure we missed alot. Seeing Cheetah SBNO killed me. Hopefully it turns into Steel Cheetah lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By chance, do they still have the manually operated scrambler with the rotary crank speed control, or have they replaced it with electronic controls? I grew up in DSM, and while I didnt really appreciate the park while I was growing up.... like the second my Friends started getting licenses we rolled to WOF as opposed to going 35 minutes to Adventureland.... I went back in 2013 and really had a great time. Unfortunately, various circumstances have prevented me from returning, I havent even ridden Monster yet :-(.

As for the scrambler I have no idea. I did not ride many classic flats there. Focused on the coaster credits, water park and unique stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrillKingsFitzy Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 Sadly, Wild Adventures is not RMC’ing Cheetah, as it’s demolition just got finished today. It’s completely torn down. Welp. Replacement speculations anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
