Cheetah front seat on-ride 4K POV @60fps Wild Adventures

This is one of the last CCI (Custom Coasters International) wooden coasters to be built. It opened in July 2001 and is one of just a couple of CCI coasters to use Gerstlauer trains instead of PTC (Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters) trains. Can you name another one that has Gerstlauer trains?
Wild Adventures is located in Valdosta, Georgia and is best known for being featured in the movie "Zombieland".

I was riding this back in 2002, shortly after it opened. It was rough almost from day one, but it was so incredibly much fun. Very sad to see it go as I think it had a lot of life left in it after a retracking, but Herschend has been bufu'ing Wild Adventures for years and probably didn't see it as worth the cost of maintenance anymore. And if Wild Adventures couldn't afford the upkeep on Cheetah as-is, there's no way Herschend was going to invest in a Steel Cheetah for them. *Yes, I know Cheetah's supports were built as steel from the start. Can't remember if it was to save cost on materials or to make them last longer in the Georgia heat and humidity.

[@triple7marc]

Steel supports definitely aren’t cheaper than wooden supports. They’re meant to reduce maintenance.

[@ultra9678]

This ride no longer is at the park 😢

[@datboi9035]

This ride was rough as hell but still one of my favorites

[@Theoneandonlysombreroman]

Ikr used to live near

[@apacheattackhelicoper]

i can clearly see it

[@CheesecakeMilitia]

If this poor thing got a complete retrack and new trains, it'd be a top 10 woodie, easily.

[@ThisIsBarc99]

Same with the boss

[@ThisIsBarc99]

It's nice for a classic woodie to get some TLC though. Ghostrider got stronger wood & millennium flyers and now is considered one of the best wooden coasters, although I'm sure it was very good before.

[@markysharky17]

They need to RMC it honestly. A new coaster would draw so much attention to the park

[@johnulmerRacing]

@@markysharky17 Not everything needs an "RMC".

[@noahherring4340]

thefemalearrow as a local, whose siblings lost many combined summers working at the park, Wild Adventures is not a park Herschend is willing to invest a roller coaster in. It’s ran like a write off park; the only new attractions are flat rides paid for by the selling of old rides. The only thing the park works to maintain is the water park addition, because it’s really the only draw for locals (Valdosta doesn’t even have public pools). It seems like a miracle that Cheetah and our SLC are both strong coasters, because if they hadn’t already been there when Herschend bought the park, they wouldn’t be there today.

[@kistenjahdendukesjones2055]

I did that ride... And when we dropped My eyes went up they could not come down! Until the end

[@alli-mb9gh]

ok i never cuss, but this made me cuss

[@trevormungeam]

Such a sad loss for the coaster world :( too many wooden coasters being retired

[@rainrle]

RMC! RMC! COME ON RMC!

[@trevormungeam]

@@rainrle I’d much rather a classic ride just stay open. I can’t stand the way that RMC has made it even more popular to trash perfectly good wooden coasters and pieces of history. Incredibly sad in my opinion

Yes. I miss this girl. She was a good one.🥺

[@THE.BLACK.PARADE]

Step dad used to work at a wild adventures and has a crazy story about this ride. Apparently one of the tunnels weren’t checked before starting the ride and a loose piece of wood stabbed someone in the neck, barley survived.

[@sonimatic]

Rough as hell but damn do I love this in the front.

[@yesidany]

No The very back is the best

[@maddi8194]

Back is better

[@nikotheneko2895]

As someone who sat in the front, it was crazy. But man- it was so rough.

[@mcar4able]

Oh my God those screams are so funny lol

[@DavidPlant1985]

Does it has square wheels or something? Looks rough

[@kylesullivan371]

Soooo rough

[@Liethechan]

This ride is extremely rough. Very headache inducing but still very fun to ride lol

[@stereoraptor6940]

idk if it'd be fun if it wasn't rough. it's so engrained in the experience. every time i go here, the line on this ride is little-to-none, so I've probably ridden this baby more than a hundred times over the years. it's like doing bathsalts but without the enjoyable part. i love it. probably have had brain damage at this point.

[@toomanycolors5774]

Weird, when I went it was pretty smooth. And a really long line 😂 everyone I’ve met that’s gone on it loved it. This is the roller coaster that got me to be a roller coaster fanatic 🤪

[@thecatpodcast3508]

It is it hurt my back

[@Theoneandonlysombreroman]

So many memories on this ride from when I lived there, no idea it was gone

[@reallyfunkeegan1486]

AaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAa That’s how rough it is! 😂

[@Poli1348]

At the time of commenting tomorrow I’ll be going there, and I’ve taking a liking for this ride now. Thank you for the pov!

[@RADZADproductions]

Get GCI to redo this and wow it’ll be amazing

[@maepl_7798]

RADZADproductions an RMC would be amazing

[@johnulmerRacing]

@@maepl_7798 No it wouldn't. Not every wooden coaster needs to be an RMC.

[@sethleejazz]

john ulmer yeah I agree. I just feel like this coaster would be so much better with just retracking

[@petermorin6741]

It's like a smaller version of Shivering Timbers

[@eljoemanlouis3895]

last time i was in wild adventures i went on this one, it was AWESOME!!

[@wabashcoasters4636]

Sorry for people who want another RMC in Georgia, but there's no way hershend will spend that much money on this park, my guess it'll just be bulldozed to the ground for an animal exhibit

[@carlosedwards3230]

The word on the curb is its getting the RMC treatment. It definitely needs some kinda of treatment. It looks like a old worn down rough uncomfortable ass coaster.

[@SpectrumAssociates]

Why not just shut the entire park down

[@thecoastercredit8000]

i love it that this is now being recommended to me because it is closing(RMC Conversion???)

[@kingoliver5663]

Hopefully. I can see this being one of the better conversions.

[@mackenziefritz8169]

Nope, went to the park this past weekend and they’re in the process of tearing it down

[@jmanx360]

Cool that they're still running the original Gerstlauer trains on this. Not too many CCIs still running those.

[@zbfuller]

Boss at SFSL runs with Gerstlauer trains and Legend at Holiday World opened with a Gerstlauer train but now runs with PTCs.

[@eyezat1]

Also Mega-Zeph at the defunct SFNO had Gerstlauer trains.

[@gregorymoore2877]

Didn't The Villain at SFO also open with Gerstlauer trains?

[@mackenziefritz8169]

This ride looked really rough and I feel it’s because of the Gerstlauer trains. Boss runs Gerstlauer trains and when I rode it it felt like it was on square wheels because every single inch of track was unbearably rough, down to the station and lift hill. It’s a shame they tore it down because the layout looked a lot of fun. I hope the park invests more because it really is a nice place, just needs some new rides to draw in crowds

[@912RnB]

This Ride Scared Me For Life …

[@cloudywildfox163]

[@nataliec1964]

I live in valdosta ga and i go to wildaventures almost every weekend bc i have a season pass its great

One day I'll ride this for real... maybe... probably not...

[@playerslayer91]

This ride throws you around lime a rag doll. Lol I hate it every time but I still ride it every time I come. lol

[@johnfoltz8183]

Are you sure you want to completely demolish Wooden Roller Coaster 1?

[@Whatchamawhozit]

Now this ride is Defunct, they tore it down. Also, this is the same park where Zombieland 1 was filmed

[@Cat3465]

It’s sad that this never got the RMC treatment and was instead demolished. That would’ve given Wild Adventures a true stand out coaster. Herchend never cares to invest and should therefore get sold off to another theme park operator by 2030

[@arrow_of_ravenclaw5155]

I heard this is getting revamped. I can’t wait

[@mitchellries256]

Park looks great. But they really need to put more attention and add more new rides and stuff.

[@zackstaa7826]

It was a wonder nobody got killed. Those struts were getting weak. Rougher and rougher as the years went by.

[@tammyhailey1339]

I heard this ride was so rough, it literally messes people's backs up.

[@notmiyaaa_7169]

I was like 8 when I rode it, it was really fun

That's because it's an old ride I took it down sadly

I wish they'd reinforce the ride with metal, but some things gotta go..

They could rmc it into a steel coaster (it was hybrid from the start)

[@ThyPandora]

Believe it got torn down, completely, and it only had steel supports to reduce maintenance costs (not a real hybrid).

Goodbye!

yea wasp were kinda bad at the top
