Wild Mouse is a steel wild mouse roller coaster at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown, Pennsylvania, on the main midway across from the Wave Swinger. Built by Maurer Rides as a Wild Maus Classic model and designed by Ing.-Büro Stengel, it opened in 2000.
The ride is themed as a cat-and-mouse chase, with four-seat cars styled as cats and mice. After a 50-foot lift hill, the cars run through a three-level structure with airtime hills and seven hairpin turns. RCDB lists 1,214 feet of track, a top speed of 28 mph and a ride time of 70 seconds, with no inversions. Each car seats four riders, two across in two rows, and RCDB gives a capacity of 900 riders per hour.
The park calls it a starter coaster for riders who want a little to moderate thrill. It lists a minimum rider height of 48 inches, or 42 inches with an accompanying rider. Dorney also ran an earlier, unrelated Wild Mouse that closed in 1965.
