Wild Thing is a steel hyper coaster characterized by its expansive out-and-back layout and traditional chain lift mechanism. The experience begins with a steep descent followed by a sequence of large parabolic hills designed to provide significant airtime. A large figure-eight turnaround transitions the train into a return leg featuring multiple camelback humps and a subterranean tunnel. The ride concludes with a final brake run after maintaining high velocity throughout its course.
