Incidents
On May 16, 2008 during the opening weeks of the season, WildCat suffered a "roll back". A car traveling up the lift hill did not make it all the way up and rolled back down, hitting another car. This incident injured nine guests, 8 were treated at the first aid station in the park, one was treated and released at Firelands Memorial Hospital. Due to this accident, the ride was closed for a month. It reopened late June 2008 after a section of track was replaced.
Around 5:00PM on June 5, 2011, two cars of the WildCat collided injuring seven people. No serious injuries were sustained. Three people were taken to Firelands Regional Medical Center as a precaution and four were released from the first aid station without further treatment. The crash was classified as an "incident" by the US Department of Agriculture.

“An element of exaggeration clings to the popular judgment: great vices are made greater, great virtues greater also; interesting incidents are made more interesting, softer legends more soft.”
