Wild Thing is a hypercoaster located at Valleyfair. It is an out-and-back roller coaster with more than one mile of track. Its first hill is 207 feet with a 60 degree drop, and reaches speeds of up to 74 mph. Wild Thing's height was set by the FAA, due to the nearby presence of Flying Cloud Airport. 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.
