Die Wildkatze

[Crunchewy]

I remember riding this a long time ago at BGW. I liked it, but then again I was a lot younger. Probably a little kid. I keep meaning to go to Adventure Park USA to ride it again but have yet to do it even though it's not that far from me.

Here’s Die Wildkatze from back in the day. Quite a few pictures exist of this ride, but few from its time at Busch.

Has anyone here gone to Maryland to ride it?

Me!

I know several people who have (including me).

I use it instead of a chiropractor. Much cheaper and more fun.

Last I rode it was at Williams Grove.

Here’s the original ride signage

That is so delightfully 70s.

These early photos are super interesting because they show just how painstakingly the original park build-out preserved the existing trees on the property. I wonder if the one in the center of the frame is the one in the center of Verbolten's round planter currently?

I remember liking this coaster a lot when it was at BGW, but for some reason I haven't been to ride it at the Adventure Park USA, even though it's that far from me. I really should.

It appears to be. The building behind is the current verbolten queuehouse, and the one to left is the old big bad wolf entrance.
