Mad Mouse is a steel wild mouse roller coaster at Valleyfair in Shakopee, Minnesota. Arrow Dynamics built it as its Mad Mouse model, and it opened on May 8, 1999. It replaced Wild Rails, a Schwarzkopf Wildcat coaster that ran at the park from 1979 to 1998.
Four-person cars styled like mice, with a raised rear seat, run through hairpin turns, sharp dips and 14 twists on vertical and horizontal serpentine curves over 1,257 feet of track. RCDB gives a height of 50 feet, a top speed of 30 mph, no inversions and a ride time of 1 minute 30 seconds, with eight cars and a capacity of 1,000 riders per hour.
Riders must be at least 48 inches tall, or 42 inches with a supervising companion.
