Mild Thing or not, that’s an underrated tunnel moment

[@maxhagenauer24]

How so?

[@coaster365]

@@maxhagenauer24it’s long enough to get completely dark, with airtime hills. For a ride that kinda gets crapped on, that feature rarely gets talked about

[@FF_EDZ]

Thanks so much for showing our park! Helping crowds visit to help the park get money for hopefully a new coaster!

[@coastingthrills7297]

The park has money, but they can’t physically handle the crowds a new coaster would bring, hence why they are updating everything so they have more space. Expect one in the next few years!

[@FF_EDZ]

@@coastingthrills7297 but if they got a new one it would take a lot of the bigger crowds into that line

[@coastingthrills7297]

@@FF_EDZ it’s the same reason ValleySCARE isn’t an event anymore. Lines for attractions were too long and affecting the guest experience in a bad way. Trust me, Cedar Fair has their eyes on Valleyfair the most right now and see it as the most potential Cedar Fair park. That came from Park GM himself.

[@FF_EDZ]

@@coastingthrills7297 then they could extend the park if they make more money if that’s the case, being the 2nd ever cedar fair park it deserves some love

[@coastingthrills7297]

@@FF_EDZ they are looking into “multiple” coasters at the moment and areas to put them. They have a 10-year plan already made.

[@Jackp499]

That first airtime hill is elite

[@gary1248]

It’s ok then the rest of the ride is mid

[@Losttracks2]

That was my first experience ever on a roller coaster

[@The_LaughingHyena]

That tunnel though, awesome optical illusion for a good head chopper moment. Air time and near misses heck yes.

[@idesignz426]

BLESS UPS COASTER STUDIOS! THIS IS MY HOME PARK! LAST TIME I RODE 'WILD THANG' WAS 2000!;)PEACE

[@christianortiz793]

Oh yes, it's mild thing!

[@gary1248]

1000% agree

[@Mina_Fox_90]

I've gone on this roller coaster before. It's roughly around my eldest niece's age. It's quite fast and how it has the on-ride photo section inside the tunnel. It's high enough to make you look like you're at the Minneapolis skyline.

[@final3119]

Lmao 1:34 is so damn rough. You learn to brace for it after your first ride. Used to work at the park 19 years ago. I still can’t believe they don’t have any new coaster since Renegade.

[@jamalbrown8555]

Oh my goodness that ride is awesome so much fun to watch have a great summer every one.

[@jonny-b4954]

It's got that old school janky airtime where the upstop wheels are loose on the track and not form fitting. Good stuff.

[@luckykat08]

Nice! Back row pov is the way to go.

[@lewisfinkiv3744]

Morgan is Awesome!

[@dindog22]

the tunnel looks pretty good

[@coastingthrills7297]

Ride this on a very hot day and it’s far from “Mild Thing”. This ride can be insane, it just depends on the day.

[@Nicklmeyer]

Lift hill soundin like a machine gun.

[@braydenisstillhere]

This Morgan hyper has some jank to it on those turns😂 love it

[@Gussy507]

Nice!

[@AydenChang-zr1ue]

Wild Thing Has a lot of airtime in the back of the bunny hills and the second hill is the best in the universe so 1000/1000

[@Orion.the.great.hunter]

I just went there a week ago

[@TDHarrison]

top 50 coasters pls

[@maxhagenauer24]

Do those ending hills have any airtime?

[@coastingthrills7297]

On a hot day, yes

[@Banner16]

Do you like this or Mamba more?

[@ThrillzandCoasters]

Mamba way better imo

[@scubajoe3321]

If arrow didn't go extinct this would be it's coasters today

[@ethanellis4662]

Make that two coasters at Valleyfair named after hit songs

Id give that award to RMC myself....

[@mangoleafs]

holding brake on wild thing lol

[@jayducharme]

I generally like Morgan hypers. But what's with the turnaround on this one? There could have been two bunny hops where that long stretch of flat track is. That's the only really boring section of the ride.

[@maxhagenauer24]

Steel Eel must be a lot better.

[@cmsimo999]

Forks in a garbage disposal 👍🏼

[@brandoncole5533]

Its like they tried to makw airtime hills but jsut completely fucked fhe profilijg because the speed isnt a problem

[@Djdnfrjn]

Can u go back to six flags great america

[@Luxferre66]

My dad made me go on this on my 8th birthday Lol i was never the same and never went on it again but I’m gonna try to go on it this year 🫡

[@ATLSloan]

Wild thing is by far the weakest of the arrow/morgan hypers. Did nothing for me when I rode it in summer 21’

[@sergeantjadonsoriginalchan3063]

[@ejectorairtime]

I did not like the back row that much. There were a couple jerky moments but at least the front was smoother.

[@gabbygustafsson7894]

I Was Riding Wild-Thing During June 1996 & I Remember We Were Stuck On The Top Of The Lift Hill For Over An Hour My Brother & I Were Smoking Cigs As We Were Waiting In The Front Seat . Wild-Thing During The 1990s Was A Very Smooth & A Quiet Ride . Seriously WTF Happened To Wild-Thing Sounds Terrible & Literally The Train Is Bouncing On The Track Throughout The Ride Especially Going Down The Lift Hill The Train Was Crazy Bouncing & Making Seriously Loud Clunking Sounds I Don't Know How Wild-Thing Is Passing The Inspections . I Have Not Been On Wild-Thing Since 2008 & I Will Never Again The Ride Is Junk .

[@coasterproductions4872]

I rode a week ago and it is still the smoothest at the park outside of steel venom

[@ShadezParks]

Kinda boring tbh but I haven’t ridden it so

[@coasternut3091]

Looks like all of the other Morgans. Nothing wrong with them, just nothing particularly special
