Wild Mouse Review Cedar Point New for 2023 Spinning Family Coaster

Cedar Point just opened up a brand new family coaster, one that pays homage to a previous attraction, while bringing it into the modern day! Wild Mouse is part of the all new Boardwalk section of the park, and reimagines what a Wild Mouse should be! Zamperla created an all new model with this one, making this one different from every other ride out there! But does that make it the best of its kind?

I don't know any mouse puns for the first six cars, but the seventh one looks pretty cheesy.

[@sophiaque3n]

😂

[@StamfordBridge]

Was going to add another mouse pun, but … ne-vermin-d. 😮

[@Stormyrac3r]

That’s a good one man

[@dlj9178]

[@ryjack86]

This coaster is more forceful than I thought it would and is pretty thrilling

[@zacg_]

I'm not in the camp that Cedar Point can do no wrong. I have a handful of criticisms of the park, though it is amazing. But I think complaints about a wild mouse at Cedar Point are stupid. Not only is this one well done but it's a fantastic fit for the park anyway. Families do go to this park. Kids and families need more to do and this really helps the lineup. Little kids will love riding this with their parents which means a happier guest experience for everyone and more little kids developing a love for the park that will bloom in their teen years. Good for Cedar Point!

[@victoriasimoneau3659]

I have one complaint about this ride. The lap bar pressed against my chest so hard that I could barely breathe the whole ride. I won't go on it again because of that issue.

[@CaseFamilyVlogs]

Cedar Point definitely needed a new family coaster. You dont have to swing for the fence each coaster.

[@revimfadli4666]

This is why diversifying the park rather than adding another record breaker was an appropriate celebration for its 150th anniversary. Diversifying from a ballroom into an amusement park was a key reason behind it after all

[@darrylpeake2998]

Our grandkids love it and so do we. We enjoy the entire area with our families. So well done and the Lake view is just spectacular along with the facilities.

[@DeverelDraws]

Went on it 4 times my last visit and had a different experience each time. I actually really enjoyed it, I was pleasantly surprised. And if you happen to get a super spinny run it's extra fun. Has a lot of charm.

[@leenastoneburner3422]

Did it make u dizzy?

[@DeverelDraws]

@@leenastoneburner3422 Not at all but I don't usually get dizzy on rides.That said, my partner is very sensitive to that and he was also fine.

[@dantc2403]

This reminds me of the Gerstlauer spinner Fairly Odd Coaster at Nick Universe at Mall of America. I remember marathoning it when it first opened because the backwards facing seat was such an intense experience, and it spun like crazy.

[@Kennywood_Fanatic]

I’d also classify Gemini as a family coaster

[@100DollarHeadache]

I'd sooner call Blue Streak (which Coaster Studios doesn't mention) a family coaster than Gemini. While Gemini's racing mechanic is certainly family-friendly, its relative size (125 feet tall) could put off kids with a fear of heights. Blue Streak isn't as tall.

[@Kennywood_Fanatic]

@@100DollarHeadache that is fair, but blue streak’s air time was super intense it had me fearing for my life lol

[@kbaker9753]

I don't think you can call Gemini a family coaster it goes 60 mph. Anything over 45-50 is just automatically in the thrill category. I think Blue Streak was the missing family coaster in Coaster Studio's review. I think they need another disaster transport kind of ride... it was the other family/thrill ride back in the day. I was really hoping Cedar Point would have gotten something similar to Laff Trakk at Hersheypark but I guess we can conclude that is now out of the question with this wild mouse. It's a good fit to the park nonetheless.

[@Kennywood_Fanatic]

@@kbaker9753 Gemini is force less, if blue streak (which is chalk full of air time and other forces) is a family coaster then so is gemini

[@drakefair8835]

Its definitely the best wild mouse coaster I have been on

[@KazDM]

I now crown you... Wildest Mouse

[@jimgray4281]

We spun so fast from the time we crested the lift hill. Kept spinning for a least a minute after we were back in the break section. It was definitely a Wild Ride!

[@anthonym3021]

This reminds me of the defunct Wildcat coaster, which was my very first ride at Cedar Point back in 2011.

[@SARM71]

Looks fun! Still LOVE my Wildcat. Sad it’s gone. Laughed my a** off every time! 😃 Zipping up and down hills and curves. And the hairpin turn and on-a-dime stop at the end!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@devdevthrills]

I think Cedar Point put their best foot forward for a spinning wild mouse and made it as good as it could be with the looks and light theming. At the end of the day though, it's just a standard wild mouse. I get it, but I also think they could have done something a little more unique like the rest of the park that hits all the same people and gaps. But glad to see them make the effort here, still a win for the park.

[@radbricks8298]

like the rest of the park? so pretty standard dive coaster, outdated giga coaster, fairly average wing coaster, Ok flourless coaster.... get Over it. the park has plenty of average rides.

[@devdevthrills]

@@radbricks8298 hardly! There’s hundreds of these wild mouse coasters, and dozens (if that) of those you just named. I’m just saying it would’ve been more like Cedar Point to build a more custom or unique family coaster for their park to fit this theme rather than a ride you can find a near clone of at any traveling fair or existing park. What they did with it is cool and puts it above the rest, but still nothing to write home about.

[@smuella]

@@radbricks8298the rides you mentioned are only average because they‘re at cedar point. In most parks these would still be headliners. Also Gate Keeper ist amazing imo.

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

[@kevinmay9151]

When I was getting over my fear of roller coasters I did it at Cedar Point in 8th grade, in the past I my range of roller coasters was that really kiddie coaster at Jenkinson boardwalk to the Racer/Jack Rabbit at Kennywood(no joke, straight up the only coasters I had gotten myself on, some i was forced on) and when I went to CP I only went on cedar creek, iron dragon and gemini, which was specifically plentiful in a low thrill range. When I expressed how helpful of a stepping stone iron dragon was for me to people who were quick to call it boring but the what made Cedar Point, especially from now an adult's perspective, a great theme park and buisness is the thought of needing low energy roller coasters, nonetheless a range of them. Even Gemini, as you've said in the past, is great for transitioning into bigger coasters. I really appreciate how you touch on this aspects, cause now I have ridden phantom and steel curtain easily, something 10 year old me would be beyond proud of.

[@CoasterParadise12323]

I got to ride this and loved it! It really is insane

[@ytcomment4242]

I was expecting it to be pretty good for a wild mouse. Wound up thinking it was pretty good, period. I was really surprised how much I enjoyed this ride. We had so much fun on this thing.

[@tangieasmr_]

i rode wild mouse today and we got the zaggy themed car and was spinning SO much

[@zacharylunsford2]

Did you forget to mention that this ride was paying tribute to the Schiff Wild Mouse coaster at Cedar Point from 1959 to 1963?

[@crbaw]

Just went 728/2024 and loved it

[@dindog22]

you have to build family coasters if you want to grow the next crop of coaster enthusiasts

[@Willow1409]

This reminds me a lot of Pandemonium at Six flags New England.

[@NurseGinnyRN]

We LOVED this ride. It was totally worth the wait in line. It was something different than the other rides and we could ride it as a family. Everything from the sound effects to the character cars…this ride packed quite a punch for its small size. We could easily ride this over n over. I hope they never get rid of this one.

[@ejectorairtime]

I was frustrated that they didn't have a Fast Lane entrance for this one. Memorial Day was slammed and the line was over an hour all day. Being my first time at the park in 18 years, I needed to get all the major thrill credits I missed out on at age 12 when I got rained out.

[@coastingalong]

it’s because the capacity is already bad it would be terrible with fast lane

[@andyblarblar279]

[@TheBobcat1978]

I rode it w my gf and her family on July 13th , 2023. While I can't say it's my favorite coaster, I do agree CP does need a coaster like this. I think my favorite thing about this ride is the sound effects, especially w the cat on top of the lift hill as well as the slam and spinning sound effects. Definitely not your typical wild mouse and worth riding again

[@matthewhepler801]

The wild mouse at lagoon was really well themed, at least in the 90s when I live there

[@deang5386]

I feel like they could of squeezed in another helix in the final part of the ride to not make it feel soo short.

[@SeeSomething_SaySomething]

Hell to the no on this one for me! Went to CP other day with the fam, saw this and almost got dizzy/nauseous just looking at it. I once went on a similar carnival ride- obviously smaller and for kiddies, but my car got stuck spinning very fast (luckily not with my child in it with me) and I thought I was going to die as the operator slowly got the people off one by one ahead of me. It was years back, before I turned 40. I weigh about 140 or so, prob less back then, but the uncontrollable spinning rides are too much for some of us. My kids might enjoy it, if they'd give it a chance. My 11 year old went on all of the coasters except for this and Iron Dragon.

[@QDude24]

"Make it stand out from any other Wild Mouse out there" *Gerstlauer Bobsleds entered the chat*

[@nickwerner7983]

I rode Wild Mouse and it was definitely wild and unpredictable.

[@crazycreeper399]

When will someone make a extreme wild mouse

[@texasgiant_thrills]

Tbh, I feel like this was a good replacement for wicked twister

[@sairosekk]

I've ridden it twice on the same day. I enjoyed it and I like high thrill coasters. The first time I rode with two guys and a lady and we were spinning out of control The second time it was a small child his mom and a single rider I decided to spend the day with. Less spinning but still fun I will definitely write it again I agree to park needed this It's a good coaster to break up the kids coasters and iron dragon.

[@aopossum6978]

the cheese cart is the best! it spins waayy faster then the mouse carts!

[@urbex_coasters]

For spinning coasters of this size, it won't beat the Revershan version, such as Exterminator at Kennywood or Crazy Mouse at Del Grosso's. The fact that the trains on those things allow you to slide accross the seat really elevates those over snything from Zamperla or Mauer.

[@amusement420]

I've ridden it twice. Both load side seat. It feels like you're going backwards & sideways at an angle thru curves more than spinning imho First ride was in Cheese car (!) A dad next to me and two teen girls on the outside. It spins fast when it stops on the brake run. I got dizzy. I liked it. It is said to intentionally spin more. Second ride was on the pink car. Load side seat. With 3 big early 20's males. The ride op pressed the lap bar too tight. Very unpleasant ride. Otherwise the sensation was the same. It didn't spin nearly as much or as fast in the brakes as Cheese car though. Both rides the straight into the brake run is harsh. A very short duration. I don't care for the slow-moving cars thru the unload. But I liked it. It was different enough. Not as much of 'Monster meets Wild Cat' as I thought it might be. The lift hill music is annoying. The sound effect is fun. The Farmer Otis actor from the old Forbidden Frontier told me he recorded he station voice of the red car. You really can't hear the voice overs. Partially de to the music (The Steel Vengeance character actors did the station voices for SV). My friend had a stroke a few years ago. His left side gives him trouble. He couldn't get into ADA cheese car. I've seen little girls maybe 6 yrs old complain they hit their head on the back of the seat. A Mom said her 6'5" husband dislocated a rib on Cheese car. She thought it was funny lol

[@angeldog15]

I thought it was super fun! I went on the 7th and my friend thought we should've done it again, but the line was too long hence it being new.

[@pinkfreud62]

Looks fun. I'm 60, but still would ride all the rides if I get back up to CP. I'm only 90 miles away. I do think having family coasters is fun, too. Not every ride has to be extreme "dare devil" and rides for fun & laughs are cool, too.

[@Sam-cn4ch]

A classic wooden Wild Mouse is still in a different league IMO

[@edgyerica4823]

Very fun, but very vomit inducing! I’m prone to motion sickness and I’m usually fine on the bigger coasters, but this one got me bad. I was in a group by of 4 so our car was very heavy, we were absolutely FLYING and spun like crazy. At the end I wanted the ride operators to hurry up so I told them I was gonna hurl (they did not go faster lol) I stumbled my way out and thankfully made it to the trashcan. Good ride tho!

[@maxhagenauer24]

A good fit for the park, they needed a spinner.

[@lowkeyproductions6681]

The line unfortunately did not move fast when I was there. Maintenance issues, cars kept stopping in the loading zone, and they weren’t running all the cars. We weren’t able to get on it in two days, the line was never under an hour (on weekdays!) and nobody in my group wanted to wait that long for a family coaster.

[@Fox_on_a_Rollercoaster]

This looks like a maurer spinner twister styled layout with Zamperla's modern cars. Also: Zamperla did to the spinning wild mouse model the same thing as Gerstlauer did to the normal wild mouse with thier bobsled's. Love it! I rode a lot of spinning wild mouse coasters, but this one is finally something unique. Before the most special one was Heidi because one curved hill that got added and the lifthill speed got increased woohoo. A lot of old coaster models could become something new and awesome with modern technology and manufacturing techniques.

[@mitchellries256]

I think Six Flags should add one of these next. That park could really use a new family roller coaster, and a spinning wild mouse roller coaster would be a perfect fit for that. I think the perfect location would be in the Gotham City section as that area doesn't have much for families, and they should theme it to the Joker, just like the spinning roller coaster at Six Flags Mexico. Unless they plan to relocate their Larson Super Loop somewhere else within the land later on, another reason why they should do that is because I am not a fan of how Gotham City doesn't have a Joker themed ride now.

Missed out on early access Millie for that though so y’know 😅

Kids have 2 kid coasters. Then blue streak. Then iron dragon. Then cedar creek. Then Gemini. It’s really awkward to put that in. They didn’t have one. But they could use d broke some record. Fastest or tallest wild mouse isn’t that big.
