Wilderness Run is a small family roller coaster in the Camp Snoopy area of Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was built by E&F Miler Industries and opened in 1998 as Taxi Jam. It was renamed Hey Arnold's Taxi Chase in 2005 and Lucy's Crabbie Cabbie in 2010, and has carried its current name since 2018.
The oval layout with a helix has 416 feet of track and a 16-foot chain lift. The park describes kid-sized hills, downward banks and sharp turns at up to 6 mph, and calls it training for young riders before the park's bigger coasters. A single train of six cars carries 12 riders, and the minimum height is 36 inches.
It is a different ride from the Wilderness Run kiddie coaster at Cedar Point in Ohio.
