Wildebeest was voted the World\u2019s #1 Water Park Ride for over 10 years! (<a href=\"\/rides\/mammoth\">Mammoth<\/a> is currently #1!)<\/p>\n<p>When we say Wildebeest is long, we really mean it. Wildebeest is one-third of a mile long! It thrills riders for two-and-a-half soaking minutes of hills, drops, twists and turns. The readers of <em>Amusement Today&nbsp;<\/em>magazine voted it the #1 Water Park Ride on the Planet for over a decade!<\/p>\n<p>Wildebeest begins with a conveyor ride up the water coaster\u2019s lift hill. Following the four-story drop at a 45-degree angle, linear induction motors (LIMs) propel the four-person boats up seven additional hills, through two underground tunnels, and around a helix. Wildebeest covers more than two acres; its top speed is 36 feet per second. Wildebeest\u2019s tallest elevation is 64 feet higher than its lowest drop. The conveyor-style lift hill replaces any slide-tower stairs, making the water coaster accessible to riders who might have difficulty walking up stairs.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n
