Wild Thing (Valleyfair)
Wild Thing, located at the Valleyfair amusement park in Shakopee, Minnesota, is a steel out-and-back roller coaster with more than one mile (1.6 km) of track. Its first hill is with a 60 degree drop, and reaches speeds of up to . Wild Thing's height was set by the FAA, due to the nearby presence of Flying Cloud Airport.
In 2005, Wild Thing was the main challenge for a local radio station's "Survive it and Drive It" game. Approximately 20 listeners were challenged to be the last one riding continuously for days upon end. The winner received a new car from a local car dealer. The contest lasted for seventeen days. Due to the unbelievable stamina and willpower of the final two contestants, they were each awarded a car.
Designed and manufactured by D. H. Morgan Manufacturing, it was the first "hypercoaster" to be built by the company, opening in 1996. It was the 5th tallest coaster in the world when it opened. The ride's success led to the construction of Steel Force at Dorney Park in Allentown, Pennsylvania in 1997 and Mamba at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, Missouri the next year.
==The ride==
After the ascent to the top of the 207 ft (63.1m) lift hill, the train plunges down the 196 ft (59.7 m) drop, reaching the maximum speed of 74 mph (119.1 km/h). The train then enters a 103 ft (31.4m) parabolic hill, resulting in the longest low gravity section of any coaster in the world. After the hill, the train climbs a larger 130 ft (39.6m) hill and turns left followed by a large figure-eight turnaround. The train then makes a s-turn into a mid-course brake run. followed by several airtime hills, two of which are inside a tunnel where riders are photographed via on-ride camera. The train is led into a final brake run followed by a right turn back into the station.
