Just curious, I feel like no one really reads newspapers anymore (or ig our gen doesn’t as much). It’s easier to just keep up with news on social media yk
I am gonna attempt the Wildcat-Carter-Moriah traverse as an overnight sometime soon, but only have one car at my disposal. I was hoping to hitchhike back to my car once finishing the trip - has anyone had any luck doing this recently? I've hitchhiked once before in the Whites when my car broke down, but not in that area. Just a little worried about being stranded.
In the early 1980s, I attended graduate school in Ohio and would often travel to visit my parents in Pennsylvania. Whenever possible, I would break up the trip by visiting Idora Park in Youngstown, Ohio for a few hours. Idora Park was one of many small amusement parks in the Ohio/Pennsylvania area, but it was noteworthy for having one of the best wooden coasters at the time, the Wildcat.
I don’t have any of my own photos of the Wildcat, but I will provide links to photos and videos that may help you imagine what a special ride this was. I’m also relying on my memories from four decades ago, so anyone who has ridden the coaster should feel free to correct anything I may be misremembering.
RCDB indicates that it was designed by Herbert Schmeck, who also designed the Comets at Hersheypark, Waldameer, and Crystal Beach (relocated to Six Flags Great Escape), all of which I’ve ridden. My memory is that the Wildcat was the most forceful of those coasters, with the Great Escape Comet its closest competitor. (Don’t get me wrong about the other two: I became a coaster enthusiast when I first rode the Comet at Hersheypark, and the Comet at Waldameer is a fun family coaster, but neither rival the forces of the Wildcat.)
Probably one of the contributing factors to the Wildcat’s reputation is its lack of safety restraints that exist on today’s coasters. The trains were the smaller-size PTCs, like Woodstock Express at Carowinds. But the cars had stationary metal lapbars with no padding, limited padding on the seat, no padding on the back of the car in front of you, no seat dividers, and no seatbelts, as you can see here and here.
The original design of the Wildcat in 1929 had a swooping first drop, which you can see in this photo and in Raptor Alex’s No Limits recreation here. The first drop and other features were reprofiled in the 1930s, as you can see in the RCDB photo here. Raptor Alex has a recreation of the Wildcat after the profiling here, which includes the tunnel before the lift hill, but the recreation doesn’t capture one of
